Are you sure he doesn't meant TVPaint?

That's - on the other hand - quite nice to know!

Joerg mentioned the GUI relation - so i suppose the MUI4 and Zune implementation are rather similar towards mostly identical. So "porting" to Reaction seems not worth the effort - especially if you don't want to use a mixture of Reaction/MUI GUIs in one application...

This is planned - I use real partitions on my 68k machines also...and yes, i use 16bit modes (but not reduced in resolution...maybe i should give it a try).

Oh, this is interesting - i don't need a full UAE for amiga emulation, but if this JIT may be usable for BasiliskII - thats a good hint!

I'm no coder (not in the amiga world at least ) - using a binary with debugging output, an at least "unoptimized" screen output and a partly working network made me think of something like "work in progress".

Pleeease - my comment about BasiliskII are not meant as an offense, i could'nt know how much work and sweat'n'blood you might have invested in this project. but i (and i guess others) would be glad if some points would be sorted out (i.e. network or some voodoo with screenmodes and no-jumping mouse pointer etc.). this is why i asked about an bounty especially for BasiliskII...

@klesterjr

Excellent! I'll order a new 4x3 m display with an appropiate pixel count - that should work perfectly with that 256 px^2 icons...

While migrating my classic os3.9 stuff from my 68k system to my sam i realized that there is no fusion/shapeshifter here. i found a BasiliskII (debug) binary at os4depot. this indeed works somehow with my shapeshifter/fusion hardfile i generated (macos7.5).
After all the os4depot version of BasiliskII seem to be more a "proof of concept" than a ready to use binary - at least for non-coders like me.
is somewhere out there a smoother, more streamlined version of this
nice piece of software for os4.x? or is this something we (i) might through up a bounty for, so one of our talented coders make a useable version of the 68k mac emulation? (yes, i don't need a PPC mac emulation )

Wow - Filer is getting better and better. Here are my two cents for feature requests:

1. I really like the "permanently selected" option combined with the "invert selection" button. This is of course rather similar do Dopus4 et al. To make Filer even more perfect i would like to see two more buttons: "select all" and "de-select all".

2. 'Cos I really never liked (or get used to) the "multi-window" source/destination window thingie (ala Magellan) I love to use the copy/cut/paste functionality - here someone do not need to switch between dedicated source/dest operation. My request: is it possible to mark the "cutted" files in the source filer window? maybe with italic style font or greyed out font colour or another "marked for getting moved" background colour or...

that would rock!

@Snuffy

Ha! You don't hug MY sam (antha)

...so the official Style Guide would be "do whatever you want"? I do not like that idea - especially after working some years in the field of GUI design (industrial applications).
In the end of the day its a matter of time and money ->
What is faster: fiddling around with each app to "personalisize" it to your taste or learning a system wide, consistent GUI concept. For me the latter is more efficient (and, wow, i work really with A LOT of different systems...). I really do not have the time to configure me and my systems to death. Of course it would be much easier if all systems behave like AmigaOS...

@orgin

Hmmm...my xadmaster here seem to be os4-ppc-native (ELF). maybe the dopus4 maintainer could help you (they have xad "integrated" into dopus4....) ? or dirk st?cker himself?

@ferrels
I were able to purchase TurboCalc 5 through eBay - it is really a nice software, but: There is nothing like "abandonware"!!! It is a commercial product, which is discontinued - there is still a copyright. So be careful with posting "can someone give me a serial number" messages
Maybe one day someone (Michael Friedrich?) is able/willing to develop it further, port to ppc or whatever...

@jahc

The AREXX port is a very nice idea - really needful for all those people with "multimedia" keyboards. Is there any chance that SimplePlay can stream audio from internet? I rarely use Amplifier at the moment for playing tracks from my HD but mostly for internet radio - jumping beetween stations with the >> and << buttons on my keyboard. rocks

The first thing i'll do this weekend is an backup of all of the partitions - not sure how, maybe burning some CDs...
Afterwards i'll try to reformat that suspicous DATA:-partition. BTW: I also read that 512k blocksize as optimal setting but not mandatory ?!?

@xenic

Interesting - my SAM came preinstalled from my dealer with that layout.

To demonstrate what i mean with randomly empty dirs here's a screenshot of my dopus showing the empty "0"-byte size drawers:

Hi,

there is something strange going on with one of my partitions with SFS/2:
There seem so happen random data "disappearance". Maybe this is something that is happening for some time now, but as i do not check my data every day...

The "oldest" data structure on this partition are the icons from Mason and Klesterjr, which i downloaded immidiately after getting my SAM. One after another in some of the directories the .info-files disappear - the drawers are empty or partly empty, *subdrawers* seem NOT to be affected, only files! Yes, I know that there WERE icon files in there - i can remember them (i.e. icons for YAD). Which are not there anymore. And, no, i did not copy or move them to another place...

At the moment there seem to be only the DATA (DH2:) partition affected, is there anything i can do? maybe a check with some (what? partition wizard?) program?

This is my current partition layout:

I did not transfer my WW7 installation from my OS3.9 Amiga to my OS4.1 sam yet, but i will

I really *worked* with WW3 to WW7 - of course it's not Word or AbiWord but it was (with some minor workarounds) indeed capable of doing real stuff like writing a diploma and a Ph.D. thesis with all bells and whistles - i.e. tables, incredible amounts of vector graphics, page numbering left/right side, indeces and so on...resulting in a somewhat around 400 page monster...

The only thing that really hurted were my rather slow 040/OS3.9-Amiga while printing all that stuff...

Maybe this is really silly queastion, but:

Mason contributed a whole bunch of nice little icons for the docky but i'm not sure where to put them - "somewhere" (i don't want to clutter my drive all over with icons files) or maybe to the AISS Contrib drawer or...?

Any suggestions?

@Wanderer

Changing the stacks seems to help - doing a quick test AmiBlitz compiles what it should compile.
Regarding the font behavouier: I switched to standard "courier", know it looks o.k., but AmiBlitz/PED is the only program that behaves this way in os4.1 (as far as i know) - so what are you doing what others don't?

Hmm...solved. Not really. I switched to the incredible "Amplifier" (yes, that's the one from the OS3.9 distribution!). After fiddling around with Tunenet and AmigaAMP - Amplifier was it. It has a decent Arexx port with a comprehensive set of useful commands.
Now my multimedia keyboard works through AllKeys and some smart Arexx scripts flawless and perfectly with Amplifier...
