@tekmage Quote: Thanks, Nbache. The AmiWest team would love a nomation in the other catagory. Why not? Sure, and I did mean that as a nomination for you guys. My parenthetic comment was meant to be about marcian and his Amiga40 team, it would look strange to nominate them for their own award, however deserved it might be  . Best regards, Niels

@Marcian Okay, if we're doing it here (not a bad idea, mind you, it feeds inspiration among us  ): Other: The SACC AmiWest team for putting on a fabulous show for so many years and making a live feed so you can "go" there even when you can't go there. (I'd have nominated you and your team as well, but you'd probably declare yourselves ineligible ). Best regards, Niels

@redfox Quote: Update ... AmiUpdate 5.28 working fine.
Today, AmiUpdate detected a new version of AmiUpdate.
I updated from AmiUpdate 5.27 to AmiUpdate 5.28 successfully. You mean 2.58 rsp. 2.57. But yes, the bug got squashed. Best regards, Niels

@SteffJay Quote: I have now received the Serial / Data cable, however i am not sure what or how to use it. It's all explained in the guide I linked to above. You just set up the serial link with a terminal program running on the computer at the other end (using the right parameters, see guide). Then when you turn on your machine, there will be useful diagnostics output in the terminal (hopefully). No need for Linux on the Amiga. Best regards, Niels

Re: Updating system

The problem with these "solves most normal situations" solutions is that they don't necessarily.
Say you have just two boot partitions, one for daily use and one for fallback. And you have the Kicklayout covering both in the first one's Kickstart dir. Some smart friend has set those up for you, and you know that when you make an update, and something goes wrong, you can always boot the fallback system and fix it (or get help to fix it).
So if you run this update on the daily partition, you certainly don't want a sed line to change both your configurations in your one Kicklayout file, because then your fallback system is dead in the water. The line in Kicklayout now refers to p50x0, but you still have the old p5020 file in the fallback's Kickstart.
Situations like this are the reason for the decision not to try doing the update automatically.
Believe me, it was a lengthy discussion, and much can be said for both opinions, but in the end, that's how the decision was taken.
Best regards,
Niels

Wow, Niels! That must be quite a configuration. Yeah. Many years of testing (alpha, beta, RC) and having to be able to fall back etc. Maybe half of them are not in use any more, but I keep them so I don't have to get used to new numbers/letters to press in the AmigaBoot menu. Best regards, Niels

@kas1e Quote: @Niels
By Find Previous you didn't mean it to be in "replace" window, but just as another key combo/menu item ? Like F3 for find next and shift+f3 for find previous ? That could be one way, if it works also with the find/replace window open, but I was thinking like in NotePad, where the window actually has buttons at the bottom for both Find Next and Find Previous. If I am located at some point midways in a file and search for something (forward) and find it, I may want to see if it also occurred earlier in the file. Quote: And a way to restart at the top : currently when you do find next till end of file, it will automatically start from the begining in a loop : that what you mean or something different ? Again, see NotePad. One situation where I use that function is if I have done one replacement all through the file and want to do another one, so I change the Find string and the Replace string and set the checkmark for From the Top and start the search/replace again. Of course, these situations presume that the Find/Replace window stays open until dismissed, which is what NotePad (and NotePad++) does, I'm not sure if you planned to make it that way also.

@redfox Quote: Surely there is a way to modify the installation routine to automatically adjust the kicklayout file for owners of X5000 and X1000 Of course there is, and this has also been discussed, e.g. back when preparing Update 2. But there are so many ways a Kicklayout file can look (I have one with 25 different active configs - yes, in one file), and so much that can go wrong, so in the end it was decided not to try it. Maybe one day someone will get the idea to write a simple GUI tool to maintain Kicklayout files; if anybody bites, I'm willing to test and make suggestions etc. Best regards, Niels

And Find Previous, and maybe a way to restart at the top (after searching and finding something further down in the file).

Re: DumbPad v02

I read with interest what - among others - Trixie and Joerg wrote above. I wasn't aware of CBD_CHANGEHOOK. It would of course be better to use a feature specifically made for the purpose than a general DOS file notification (even if that one could work; I don't know, but regardless of how the clipboard may be implemented inside, we still have it presented as a directory with an assign CLIPS:, so maybe it would).
Then I'm wondering if the warning in the RKRM isn't from another age, where such an overhead would be a real problem? Provided a hook-like or notification-like mechanism could work, it would certainly be less of an overhead than having a loop check (even with delays) regularly for changes.
Of course, then comes the added task (which I didn't think of) of determining whether the data are relevant (i.e. text).
It would probably be ideal if the CBD_CHANGEHOOK mechanism could be set up for specific data types or something, so the system took care of determining whether to bother the subscribuing program.
Oh well, maybe an idea for a future enhancement?
Best regards,
Niels

@kas1e Quote: But, IMHO, if we have nothing in buffer, then Paste should be ghosted, right ? At least that sounds logical and user will see right from beginning - paste ghosted, then nothing in the buffer. I strongly agree with this - I believe in guiding the user as much as possible in the GUI by disabling anything and everything which wouldn't make sense to use, given the current circumstances. It makes a user feel safe with a program to see that you are guided to not do anything wrong/confusing. If at all possible, I think it should be done by disabling the button, i.e. make the effort to check whether there is anything in the clipboard already when setting up the GUI, and set up a DOS file notification (if possible?) to tell the program if anything is put into the clipboard (enable the button) or deleted again (disable the button). This should probably be standard behaviour/"best practice" for software using the clipboard. (Note: I haven't yet had time to try 0.2, so I don't know if you've already implemented this.) Best regards, Niels

@SteffJay And after installing Update 2 and changing Kicklayout (as Sailor wrote above), run AmiUpdate again to install all the later updates released (see the list at https://update.amigaos.net/). And keep running it again until it doesn't offer any more updates; some updates require others to already have been installed. Best regards, Niels

@daveyw Quote: I would guess that you are running an Arexx script at boot-up, either in startup-sequence or WBStartup. I think it's more likely to be the line starting RexxMast, which is the "daemon" making ARexx available to the system. Best regards, Niels

@pjs Quote: Indeed it looks like there's some issue between AmiSnap and the
Workbench iconification functionality. I disabled AmiSnap in
WBstartup and WB iconification worked after a reboot. Ah, good, thanks for confirming. Quote: maybe some CX priority tweaking could help? That's a good guess, I'd think that could help. Try setting the AmiSnap CX_PRIORITY lower than 0 - it might just do the trick. Best regards, Niels

@pjs Quote: Interestingly enough, I just tried the setting in WB Prefs and
it appears to have broken over the years. Works fine here (although on beta right now, but I don't think it was fixed recently). Was it maybe a side effect of the commodity you wrote about in the next post? Or do you see problems even without that? If so, please describe further. Best regards, Niels

@pjs Quote: In the Workbench, I'd suggest it would be at its best if the
windows weren't specific to a specific drive/drawer. Digging
into a directory tree leaves you with a lot of windows -
iconifying each would be a real mess, IMHO. You can - sort of - get this by holding down Right Amiga while double-clicking on a sub-drawer, that makes the parent drawer's window close automatically as the new one opens. (This and other useful tricks can be learnt in the WBHelp guide, BTW.) Best regards, Niels
