The good old ASL file requester does it well, but I have an idea which would improve it especially if you work with several applications.

Here is a MUI mockup of the idea you can try it on OS3/OS4/MOS.

It came from the fact that if you work on a task with several tools, you need to select the same files multiple times. For example a file is previously saved in other application then you have to select it again for opening in other program. The whole selections are independent from the pograms thanks to ASL. So why not ASL holds a list of recent items?

Some screenshots:








The last two shots are two different approaches of the same thing.

Please let me know what you think!

There is an opensource gui for dvdauthor based on QT which would be nice on our platform. I can't decide how portable is it. Please somebody with enough knowledge please look at here:

@kas1e:

You misundertood me. I'd like to show that it is pointless to blame e.g. C or other languages about bugs, and blame Hollywood to be used for a task which is not fit for it.
Hollywood has potential for several tasks, but not for everything. The easy learning curve, the fast results, the platform independency surely has some price.

And don't forget that it is possible to implement functions via plugins written in pure C which are runs as fast as other C code. Hollywood is a great playfield for wannabe programmers, so you may not see the full capabilities of the languge yet.

Hollywood users should learn to refrain the usage of some cheap but costly functions/effects when it is not neccessary or doesn't do it's job well.

However it is hard to resist sometime. :)

Ok, just lost a long post about the defence of Hollywood. I don't want to write it again...

So there could be annoying softwares written in other language too. (Odyssey - C, Webserver - C, Website - PHP, don't know which I could blame)

I'd like to use both versions of CodeBench. What is the best practice to install the HW and the GCC version together?

Created an svn repository used by the AAMP Subversion package. I can't use fully the Syncronize function of CodeBench with it. Is that svn release supported/tested?

Tmxviewer has problmems with Amiga path.

Try this:

7.Tool:Tiled/bin> tmxviewer Tool:Tiled/examples/desert.tmx

It brings an assign requester, and then crash with this stack trace:

_ZN9TmxViewerD1Ev()+0x118 (section 9 @ 0x3454)

@kas1e

Tested it several ways, but can't reproduce the crash that you experienced.

@cha05e90:

It took almost a day. Impressive!

It's working greatly if the stack is great enough.

Thanks! I love you

To add another one to the list, here is my wish: Tiled

According to http://www.mapeditor.org/ it is built on QT.
Have any of the the porting geniuses looked it before?

My vote goes to zzd10h for porting SQLiteMan.

Thanks!

You can check if DMA is enabled on a device with idetool. Here is how it works here but you have to change ide device name of your machine:

8.Workbench:> idetool -l peg2ide.device

PageStream 2.2 seems to be broken by one of the recent OS4.1 update. AFAIK on 4.0 it worked.

The 3.0 had several problems, so that shouldn't be bothered. If you really want to use PageStream upgrade it to 4.1.5.6. That one has its own problems too, but it is able to use for productive work.

One thing I dislike in AmiUpdate and that is the first position in the Workbench menu.
For several years that menu was untouched. Amiupdate is not a tool that is normally should be used daily. I think it would be a better place for it somewhere around Workbench/About.

Yeah! A reinstall solved my RollBack problem too. All previous installs are listed there, so nothing missed, just not listed before.

Thanks for the tip!

Tiled would be very useful. Is there any progress on that port?

If you have no other PSU to check it, maybe you could try disconnecting every device (HDD, CD, add-on card) from the motherboard except the monitor and try to boot. That lowers the power consumption and maybe that help the PSU to start normally. However that would be just a check to see if the MB is fine.

It is sounds like the noise of a tired PSU. Parts of it is working even when the machine is turned off. There are some capacitors that could leak its electrolyte by time. A power supply circuit with defective capacitors can do strange effects and may die slowly. If you can't replace the PSU just try to open it and check those parts.
