That explains it - the new TickBox was written for Enhancer 2.0 (and given away for free in Enhancer Software Core 1.1). The reason why you have the actual new binary is that it was delivered to you by Updater, but it didn't install the required SDK files along. As I said above, I recommend you get them from the Core archive (see bottom of the Amisphere website).

Oh...I was thinking "Enhancer Software Plus Edition OS4", which I got from Amistore, included all of "Enhancer Software Core Edition". Maybe it does but I might not have installed the SDK. In any case, I took your advice and downloaded "Enhancer Software Core 1.1 from Amisphere and installed it, including the SDK. Now I have the latest docs and examples.
nice read thanks for posting and kudos for helping make a new demo with your original demo group ( how cool is that!)for our classic miggies as I've always loved watching demos on all my classic miggies and hopefully would love go see some nice demo's for NG miggies too
We would like to make a new demo this year, let's hope we can make the wheels turning again As for an NG demo, I'm afraid my group mates haven't really warmed up for the NG idea, so this is not very likely
@khayoz
Thanks, glad you've enjoyed it.

looking forward to your groups new demo in 2021! and yes I unfortunately know about mates not warming up to NG yet...my best friend thinks my X1000 is really cool but he refuses to use any Amiga that isn't old blue Workbench 1.3 that old fart
My new blog post ]shares the latest about the development of the Rave audio editor. Happy reading!
Thanks for sharing your progress. My not be as much as you expected, but it looks like you've made good progress to me. Take your time and when your ready for testing let us know. I'm looking forward to trying it out.
A few questions. Can I hear a sound when clicking a file, not just clicking the "Play" button? Could your requester be a replacement in the operating system? I am asking because I saw, on the Hyperion forum, a request to create a requester with the option of previewing photos / images (yours "previewing" a sound). Is it possible that you implement such a function in your requester and make it the alternative choice in the system? The last one The icons are not Mason's, right? It looks a bit inconistent with the system.

This is what the "Auto" checkbox is meant for: when checked, the sound will be previewed just like you describe. But as I wrote in the text, audio preview is going to be implemented at a later point.

I'm not ruling that out, but any such endeavour will steal my development time, so at this moment the answer is no My top priority is Rave.

You mean the toolbar images? No, they have been licensed from icondrawer.com. The main reason is that Mason's AISS currently only gives you 24x24-pixel images, making them a bit too small for 4K displays.
@trixie Awesome update and text as always. Nice to read. What I would like on next posts is programming decisions you took on such big project, i.e. why did you choose to create modules and how you implemented them, do you split the project in multiple files or develop on big single file, what tools do you use for debugging or find memory leaks, and how?
Things like that might be more technical, but for sure can inspire developers to start working in a different way. They don't have to have a lot of details, but describe the paths and the decisions you took, the Pros and Cons. Those who want to go deep, either they will search for more details or will contact you. But at least your posts will initiate them to think differently, or at least see a different approach and evaluate if this something they would like to do or not.
Thank you for updating your blog with interesting articles.
You must be a mind-reader I actually have been planning to cover the design of Rave, its core modules and the technology behind them in one of the subsequent posts. As you're saying: some people may find it interesting to read about design choices and experience acquired while working on such a project.

You're very welcome, I'm glad I have regular readers Apart from software updates I'd like to keep writing more general articles and reviews, to balance technical stuff with something more journalistic.
Do you plan to add some funtions like export, encode/decode? Like from OGG, FLAC to WAV or vice-versa?
These formats are already supported but I assume you mean batch conversion of audio files between various formats? If so, this will most probably come as an additional plugin module, and only if there is enough user interest.
It made me dream of another universe where AmigaOS had been continuously developed by a dedicated company/organization without weird fights getting in the way and people getting mad and leaving and others wasting energy trying to reinvent the wheel etc. etc.
Maybe in such a universe, there would have been someone who had developed the standard file requester to be capable of being extended with custom functionality, so you wouldn't have to implement everything yourself just to add some special features.

Like everybody else I'm unhappy about the current state of things and the silly legal quagmire AmigaOS was dragged into. But as I have no say in decisions and cannot influence the situation, I think the best thing I can do is bring new software. Because if users realize that the OS ownership is uncertain, that system updates are scarce, that new OS4 hardware isn't coming, and on top of all this there's no new software, our userbase drain will be faster than bullets in a dodgy neighbourhood. Another reason is the wheel reinventing you mention, which unfortunately has been taking a growing proportion on the Enhancer project. People generally do not care whether their classes and datatypes come from Hyperion or A-EON or Shmaeon; they want - and quite vocally have been asking for - productivity apps. So I decided to write one.

Does anybody know who runs the amigablogs.net site and how to get in touch with them? I've already contacted them twice (via the website's contact form) asking if they could add Rear Window to the aggregator, but they never responded or added the blog
