Thanks for catching that bug too.

Version 4.8 on OS4 Depot fixes the problem.

@Paul

OK, it is fixed now.

The fault was all mine. I forgot to add the new Preferences files to the archive before I uploaded it to OS4 Depot the previous time. Raziel did not notice any problems because he was doing beta-testing for me and had the latest files.

Anyway, I've uploaded a new archive to OS4 Depot; it should fix the problem. Let me know if any bug persist.

Thanks.

@Paul

I'm sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with the Address Book.

The text file called "ABPrefs" must be getting rewritten incorrectly; so I'm thinking that "AddressBookPrefs" is causing the problem with "ABPrefs" (since it works until you try changing the window location).

Try bringing up the icon information window for "AddressBookPrefs", and tell me what it says for "Last change" and "Size".

@ikir

I like the new look too.

Thanks Joerg!

@bean

Looking forward to trying it.

Thanks!

pftp uses a form of drag and drop for items between list windows.

@Sveta

I'm really interested in an update that will let ?A1 owners use a graphics card in the PCI slot (even if this means turning off DMA and USB).

@jahc

Happy birthday! And thank you for all of the great software development down through the years. At 29 you should still have many more years of productive coding left in you!

@Seblam

Yes, it was introduced in version 4.0.

@Seblam

The button you created will not respond if Hollywood is in the middle of running other functions that use Wait commands. Try to find a way to call the functions that you need using SetInterval() or SetTimeout(), and avoid using any Wait commands.

Check out the documentation under "Script timing".

Also if you want your button to respond while a transition effect is being performed, you will need to use AsyncDrawFrame().

The way to add a new line in the middle of a string of text is to insert "/n" (without the quotation marks).

@Seblam

Quote:

Buttons are attached to the BGPic on which they were installed; so if you switch to a new BGPic, you will loose the buttons from the previous one (until you switch back).

@Seblam

The font being in your program directory will not help; but if it is installed properly on the window side, then it should work. It may be a problem with how you are calling it. Use the name of the font, not the font file with the .ttf extention.
For example, this should work:
SetFont("Times New Roman Bold", 12)


With the next release of Hollywood, Andreas has said that there will be the option of embedding fonts into the executable file (as can already be done with graphics using the preprocessor commands).

@Seblam

Use TypeManager (SYS:System/TypeManager) to install the fonts to your system, then you will find them with the .font extension.

I like to use PicShow.

IIRC, Fredrik Wikstrom (aka "salass00") mentioned a while ago that he doesn't plan on doing much more with AmiSoundED because of other projects that are more interesting to him (such as SRec).

I really hope that he DOES continue to develop AmiSoundED. I like it a lot as it is, but I would love to see some more features added too, such as a way of measuring the length (time) of a sample or selection, and maybe some effects using SoundStretch (from OS4 Depot), etc.

@splurge

Use Run() with the path to your script in quotation marks. Just make sure you use double back slashes instead of single.
Ex:
Run("C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Script.vbs")

Edit: Let me know if a more detailed explanation would be helpful.

@Snuffy

The "sticky cursor" bug has been fixed in the new version (1.1), as well as some other bugs.

(I still don't know why running it from RAM: made such a difference.)

@acefnq

That has got to be the strangest bug I have ever encountered. And I really wish that I could get to the bottom of it so that I can submit a bug report to Andreas (that is, if it turns out to be something in Hollywood).

Just to test the archive that I uploaded to OS4 Depot, I downloaded the archive to my "RAM Disk:" and ran it from there, and noticed a strange bug: If you type two letters, the cursor will often place itself between the first and the second (instead of after the second, where it should be). But this only happens when running it from RAM:

So just copy it to some place on your hard drive, and it should run fine from there.

Does anyone else notice the same behavior?

@jahc

Good idea. If J?rg adds that ARexx command, I'll support it in my AddressBook too.
