- Can someone remind me for which OS4 version the WBStartup drawer was replaced with the new scheme? - It was possible with the old method to put in say an icon of some text produces with an editor or word processor (or of a file produces with some other application) Referring to such file with the WBStartup preferences editor does not work anymore it seems. Is this correct, or is there some way to do it ?
It *does* work - I'm starting scripts via WBStartup-Prefs since ages and it still works without problems. Nevertheless you can go back to the old way of starting things, but I must admit I never had to roll back to the old method - so I don't no how to do that exactly. I'm not in front of my OS4 machines, so I can't look up the icon switches you need to set for WBStartup-Prefs handling of scripts atm...
The icom must be of "Project" type, and list the parent application as the default tool. From there on, it should work just fine started from WBStartup.

I got mixed up: i had a problem with the identification of the 'loader' as standard tool for a Gui4Cli scropt (this loader iscalled "gui", just as the WB gui prefs program, so i had to use the full path & then it works)
Before getting there however i tested with an editor & had problems there too and had a problem here too:
- For a BareEd generated text file "ToDo" ( with Project Icon & Standard tool pointing to BareEd's full path ) BareEd will appear with the file loaded. However i get an error message telling me "that the program ToDo has not reported itself yet", and "if i want to wait some more " I can get rid of that by chosing cancel, if i chose "wait a bit more", the message reappears.
- I had the same problem with other editors (Notepad)

Am i the only one to experience this ?
This is still in WBStartup?
If so go to WBstartup prefs, slect the appropriate entry and click on the information button.
Select the icon TAB and you'll see the WAIT button tick with the time to wait next to it.
Deselect that.
Alternatively open the icon information from the Workbench as normal and add the tooltype DONOTWAIT

I did not see that wait tick but then just added the DONOTWAIT line to tooltypes. All OK now. Thanks
If you didn't see the tick, you probably didn't view the icon information from within WBStartup prefs, but directly from Workbench. There's some special magic being performed to convert the DONOTWAIT tooltype into a checkbox with the reverse meaning. This magic is only present when info is called from WBStartup prefs (or from a drawer named WBStartup ).
If you didn't see the tick, you probably didn't view the icon information from within WBStartup prefs, but directly from Workbench.
I have to confess i did not use the workbench icon directly: I did not recognize the tick "wachten tot gereed" however as the one you meant. Some visual defect i guess. The machine is getting old.
