@Maijestro

it's a glorified command builder. I don't have amigaos currently so I posted it for others to test with.


helps build your pci passthrough config , download and extract the pegasos rom, and since it's available as a trial I did add the ability to download morphos(this can't be done for AmigaOS obviously.) so people can at least try it and hopefully help fix my bugs :D. However for my personal goal I'm trying to run as much hardware native as possible so I did not add HD image support.

Currently I'm trying to get it to automatically pass through as much hardware as possible otherwise all of your devices are selectable. Added logging to help debug my unbinding issues right now.

I have an end goal of being able to run it on a bare arch linux system and have it auto configure everything for you.

here's a little script that I fumbled through and I'm sure it needs some love.

I'm planning on testing a minimal linux distro and passing PCIE for my graphics cards, NVME drive and a sata drive this weekend. I will post my results.

I guess I’ll be testing as long as I know what to buy. I have about 6 rx 480’s laying around those are supported? And then what version of aos4 do I need to buy? I have a spare amd ryzen 3900 system laying around too. 🤷‍♂️

@Hans

All of the detection etc is part of the ipp everywhere spec. A newer version of Ghostscript goes a long way towards implementing the required formats.


“ Required: IPP/2.0, DNS-SD, PWG Raster and JPEG JFIF file formats (JPEG only required for color printers)
Recommended: PDF, IPP-USB”

The bigger issue is compatibility with the printer.device for legacy software. Finalwriter uses its own print system so we’re able to choose how we communicate.

I really wish that there were a developer or two (other than me) interested in improving the printer system. Printing systems have become a bit more standardized, so creating something new based on CUPS ia feasible. We don't necessarily need a CUPS port; just make something using the same APIs, or at least the underlying standards (e.g., IPP & PPD).

You don’t need all of cups just enough to support ipp correctly. ipp everywhere requires all printers to support pwg raster format so therefore implementing ipp proper with pwg raster output you now support all of the modern “driverless” printers.

Apparently, terminillis has had Gutenprint ported as part of the FinalWriter project. I wonder if that could be of any help once the OS4 port of FinalWriter is finished?


Well it’s not quite that simple. Finalwriter implements ipp everywhere and ijs while being built to use a newer Ghostscript.

technically it is a mui app now and it will be such due to compatibility with all platforms.

Is there an AOS4.1 release date by any chance? I would love to get my hands on native and recently released word processing program for Amiga. If I remember correctly, last update was about spell checking, some time ago.

Thanks!



Not yet I do have an AOS3 developer so that should make the AOS4 port easier.

Thanks for coming and posting in Amigans.

We were missing your pot stirring, troll baiting, hypocritical

But your fanning the flames of conspiracy theories for the sake

Maybe it's just too much?

Maybe you should go back to peddling your wares on AW?

Currently it's just finding and fixing bugs. No new features will be added to this version.

@BSzili

Certainly a viable finished product does make more than one in development forever. The issue has been there's been a bit more to it than a recompile. Finalwriter is old software and as such development needed to adapt for 64Bit etc. Also there's been some major enhancements internally not just superficial ones. As for the AOS4 port well that comes down to once I release the AROS and MorphOS versions having the money to pay a developer to do the port.

Changes so far.

Updated RTF
Libharu implemented(PDF Saving/Printing Support)
MySpell(Updated Spell Checker) Spell checker can now work real time.
Libcurl Support for direct printing.
64Bit fixes
Modernizing layout
P96 Support.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.

And as for Kalmatee he's dropped all AROS development and refuses to return. I can't say he never will but currently he's happier avoiding it.

There's been 5 developers who have worked on the current version.

@terminills

I feel it's been a while since I posted any updates on the status of Final Writer here. Anyway here's a few screenshots of the new font rendering and spell checker. Currently, we're trying to make sure the 68K version runs in as many places as possible. The AOS4 native version will be released in the future.
