I'm trying to install a new hard disk. A western digital 160Gb ide drive, attached to my sii0680ide controller.

I had some initial problems getting it be recongnised at all on the internal A1ide controller, but it shows up on the sii one.

I've partitioned it with three main partitions 5Gb 60Gb and 78GB all formatted with SFS/0. (and some smaller ones that were ging to be linux boot ans swap aprtitions, but are unitialised for the moment)

When doing ahard reset from the keyboard or case reset button I get problems, here are some snapshots of the varios error requesters




And the RDB install info




It's installed on an AmigaOne XE G4 with a sii0680 controller.

Do you have any plans to add an ARexx port? That would make this near perfect IMHO....


Some way to use the search funtion as a selection filter would be nice. Currently when using DOpus4 I will often search a directorty for all files containing a string, then use the skip all option to leave only those files selected, it's avery useful side effect.

Your current search has some advantages that I wouldn't like to lose, the list of all files, independent of directory is very useful. But a select in current filer option would be a useful addition. Also it would be nice to be able to do more than just 'view' the files in the search result.

@orgin

Yes, seconds working in locale mode here too! Excellent!

@jabirulo

I get this too.

I also see it with my AOrganiser diary program when a subwindow has been opened, I think it must be a reaction / intuition bug.

@orgin

There is an example of FormatString in the clib2 source,


http://clib2.cvs.sourceforge.net/view ... revision=1.19&view=markup

It's intertwined with a non locale based fall back so it's a little hard to cut and paste out the relavent bits.

Here are the date and time formats from my system.


locale->loc_DateTimeFormat %A %e %B %Y %H:%M
locale->loc_DateFormat %A %e %B %Y
locale->loc_TimeFormat %H:%M:%S
locale->loc_ShortDateTimeFormat %d/%m/%Y %H:%M
locale->loc_ShortDateFormat %d/%m/%Y
locale->loc_ShortTimeFormat %H:%M


obtained with

if(locale = ILocale->OpenLocale(NULL));
{
printf("locale->loc_DateTimeFormat %s\n",locale->loc_DateTimeFormat);
printf("locale->loc_DateFormat %s\n",locale->loc_DateFormat);
printf("locale->loc_TimeFormat %s\n",locale->loc_TimeFormat);
printf("locale->loc_ShortDateTimeFormat %s\n",locale->loc_ShortDateTimeFormat);
printf("locale->loc_ShortDateFormat %s\n",locale->loc_ShortDateFormat);
printf("locale->loc_ShortTimeFormat %s\n",locale->loc_ShortTimeFormat);

localeinfo.li_ILocale=ILocale;
localeinfo.li_Catalog=ILocale->OpenCatalogA(NULL,"diary.catalog",NULL);
}

BTW when I select locale in date string it displays in ShortDateTime formate based on the above.

The ideal (for me) would be ShortDateForat followed by TimeFormat. ie a combination of the two.

I much prefer the look of the locale date format over the other options available, but seconds are the more important bit of info.

@orgin

That binary worked fine as regards the clear selection option. But the column widths don't auto resize to fit the date and protection bits.

Also I can confirm that deslecting local date string in prefrences allows the display of seconds.

My locale / language is english-british_ISO-8859-15 as the prefered language, english as second.

@orgin

Great update, thanks for the 'copy as' family of functions.

Toggle menu option is great too, but I noticed that the Clear selection option only works if you have "persistant selection" disabled in prefs.

Thanks for bytes file size too. A thousands seperator (comma or locale equivalent) would be nice to aide readability.

The option is there but it doesn't seem to do anything....

Great stuff overall though.

@xenic

Is this Sam your only computer? Have you considered network sharing via another machine? Or perhaps using an old PC as a router?

@Kicko

I suspect you simply searched for threads.library?

'thread' is a substring of 'pthread' libpthread uses pthread

but your right about perl. It really needs an update for anumber of reasons, but I haven't the time just now. Too busy with blender. (which'll be ready in about two weeks TM).

@joerg

In my case I renamed the .otag file for tahoma to _tahoma.otag to prevent it's use as I new it was broken, (yet leaving there to remind me to fix it at some point)...

I notice that OWB scans every font in the FONTS: directory, even though you are trying work arroung the absense of fonts or the misnamedness (sic) of .otags files is that really a good idea? At the moment my A1 font directory is relativly sparse but my old A1200 directory was a lot fuller, scanning fonts in this way is going impinge on prgram startup time somwhat I would think.

When you scan the "broken" .otag files I would suggest the next step would be to check the .ttf file pointed to exists.

Or maybe just publish a list of .ttf files that must be in FONTS:__truetype and let the user sort it out. It seems like you are using the font directly amyway, to get access to the full character set.

@orgin

I'm getting an incorrect error mesage.

When attempt to copy the directory

Ram:some-lib/SDK/Local into SDK:

it gives me a "Can't Copy directory into itself" error rather thana directory exists error or similar...

selecting "Replace" carries on as you expect, so it's just the message that's wrong

@Mikey_C

Hmm, but surely anyone who bought a copy has the manual anyway, so there be no need to do that....

It's a really good word processor, does what it says on the tin, and works under OS4 with only the very smallest of quibbles. (Some of which it had under 3.5 IIRC)

@gurus2000

Works okay here, gets all the way though, but reports LINKTEST ERROR. Oddly AWeb goes unstable just after though. Juat after OWB visited the site that is, normal they work togther fine.

@broadblues

Just found the reason for facebook not working for me.

I didn't install the Tahoma font correctly, for some reason I couldn't find it / extract it, can't exactly remember now , so I renamed the tahoma.font file to _tahoma.font to prevent it's use. That was fine in the last version of OWB. Now it seems that OWB open every single font / otag and snoops for the .ttf files. Then tries to use them directly.

It doesn't check that the .ttf itself is present before using it!

That's abad thing on two counts IMHO.

@orgin

that version works fine.

@orgin

info gives the following

Unit Size Used Free Full Errors Status Name
DH1: 11G 23,170,307 1,951,741 92% 0 Read/Write Work


is that what you need?


And yes a yes button for clone is a possibilty.

I have to agree. Copy as, Clone, and Move AS are essential!

At first sight you might think that Copy As, and Move As could be replaced by Copy then rename, but not if there is allready a file with the original name in the destination!

Duplicate / Clone just acn't be done without resorting to a temporary directory. This is a bout the only reason I'm occasionally revert to DOpus4 at the moment.


BTW. The new fuel guage returns the wrong usage for on of my partitions.

DH1: is 11G partition 92% in use, but the fuelguage shows -78%!

Can't see what different about that partition compared with the others that all work fine.

@thread

Anyone else getting problems with the FaceBook login page with this version?

All the text input elements are really thin with no visable fonts. I couldn't loggin even by typing "invisibly" though that maybe because I couldn't see a typo to correct it.

@broadblues

solved the YAM rexx command string it needs to be

MAILWRITE ;WRITETO %a ;WRITESUBJECT %s ;WRITELETTER %f

with no quotes and no spaces after the ';' and before the next command.
