perl from latest sdk gurus if threads.library is not installed. this lib is not installed in 4.1 update 1.

@TSK

There is a problem like this for tunnet asl req. menus. 4.1 update 1 versin

@logicalheart

I'm not a developer but I tried VNC server on the Amiga SAM and found it to be slow--maybe I don't have it setup right though.

@bean
maybe not a bug in 8.90 but

skin gui-->play mp3 file
iconify/deiconify->loads up gui
go to Tune tab->can't move forward in song with time slider

reload mp3->time slider is active

@tonyw

Just a free evening :) ... there are definitely way better things to do to improve OS4 as these things are so very minor.

Type "list users groups" in a shell.

I just noticed some inconsistencies:

No Iconify Gadget
ScreenBlanker Prefs
PlayCD
Clock
USBInspector
Mounter
Format
Picasso96Mode (but old program)
shell (old)
Workbench windows(old)

Iconify Gadget does not work:
PrefsObjectsEditor

Iconify Icon (does not use *.info) but shows pictures of a shell
RawDisk
PartitionWizard
Also, for some reason uses old 3.1 "Busy" disk icon when "checking" disk even though deficon is loaded (does not always happen).


Also, the location of where the program will iconify on the WB screen is not the same...seems like Unarc, IconEdit uses the *.info location. Other programs just place to the far left.

"Installer" log files create the ugly 3.1 icons...probably some of these older programs should be scrubbed through to utilze the new OS4.1 icons.

I was bored and used the scroll arrows with the "backdrop" off in WB....and found that it wraps around after awhile....interesting. It looks like this is true of any WB drawer window as well. The only issue when it is in this state, is double-clicking the icon is non-responsive.


Not that it matters--but protection bits are different for group and others. As an example:

@tonyw

Booting would be great to have! Would be nice to have defrag as part of the toolset...most things are ghosted for JXFS in PartitionWizard.

@Deniil

Block Size = 512 (I think it has to be 512 for it to work).

For buffer, I have set to 1024 (not sure if something better than that).

@Spirantho

ATSC (HDTV) tuner?

@Daedalus

I'd like to try it but don't see a download link on your website :(

@my_pc_is_amiga

2) I was trying to see if I could use bru with my dvd+rw....but looks like the dvd+rw is shown as read-only. Not sure why that is -- both DOS (info) and Workbench information shows it is write-protected. AmiDVD is okay and is able to write to it...

So I can't format it with the 4.1 tools either...this wasn't a "brand new" disk.

@Chris

Ah, I see...

I've been scanning through smoe of the 4.1 files

1) I'm not seeing _bullet or _bullet_outline in 4.1. Are fonts like CGTimes really TrueType in 4.1 and hence are not intellifont...

TVPaint was looking for _bullet_outline and I couldn't change it to _TrueType

2) Also noticed HDBackup.help...looks like this was leftover from 3.x -- no hdbackup tool but there is bru...has anybody gotten bru to work on the SAM?

3) What does SP_Engine do in System dir and also the Profiles dir?

@tonyw

Nice!

@Slayer

Here are a few tips that I had picked from various forums:

1) Workbench:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys/def_drawer.info
Change icon to suite your needs (show all, sort by name, etc.) so that psuedo-drawer icons work as you expect.

2) For a quicker boot sequence:
Uboot -- minmize delay for uboot prompt / menu progress prompt
Change these with NVSetVar in Amiga shell:
menuboot_delay
bootdelay

Change startup-sequence to this:
Run >NIL: C:AddNetInterface QUIET DEVS:NetInterfaces/~(#?.info)

3) For "Unarc" change the tooltype "DESTINATION=RAM:" or to another path to suite your need.

4) PlayCD has capablity to set a URL for it to check the names of songs on a CD and keep this as a database. Only issue here is that PlayCD assumes the DVD/CD drive is connected to the audio in. Newer drives like mine doesn't have this (so how to play AIFF except through TuneNet).

Things I have not figured out:

a) how to get ctrl-backslash to work. (to close shell window)
b) how to reverse "window"/alt key so that alt becomes "Amiga" and "Windows" alt.
c) How to get the Radeon monitor to work with my HDMI input on my TV.
Modes like MODE=1920x1080@60i+RB should work but I just get a black screen. Only DE=640x480@60 works through DVI-HDMI cable I have
d) How to setup serial port to a serial terminal on another computer.
Can a telnetd server be installed on the Amiga? And then another computer has the client?
e) How to map multimedia keys with Fkey?
f) How does AmigaInput work? I don't quite understand the 4 port mappings for lowlevel.library. As the Amiga has only 2 ports. Which one was the common port for mouse and joystick?

@Slayer

What would be the best playback settings for mplayer...in order keep audio/video in sync. A high quality mp4 that I downloaded from a youtube donwload site, didn't play so well. A much lower quality was fine in playing.

@broadblues

Thanks -- it looks like it is working when using it that way.
Intially, when trying to capture tunenet it seem to still show background but then later it was okay.

There seems to be a "flash" of when the actual capture takes place to when it goes back to sgrab. So if the capture is not timed right, it might capture the deactivated state.

@Wanderer

Nice! Main thing for speech recognition would be for voice commands and to enter text (instead of via keyboard)...so "voice commands" sounds more doable than a full blown voice-to-text dictation system

I like the "Mark and Grab". However, with transparency on the window I want to grab shows the stuff beneth. I can switch off in prefs but would be nice if SGrab would keep the windows as activated instead of defaulting back to the "workbench" window. Cause once in mark mode it shows the window that I had activated in un-activated mode (and thus the transparent stuff shows through).
