Just make the window 100% transparent, problem solved
no need to close and open the window.

@Capehill

If closing and reopening the window is a problem you can just use the HideWindow() and ShowWindow() functions from intuition.library.

@salass00

What you or LiveForIt suggest is an interesting idea but that doesn't work if user wants to change the WB screen mode, right?

@kas1e

The new API is https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_MinimizeWi ... 29%7C%28CategoryStruct%29

@Capehill

Why would the user have an SDL program open on the Workbench while changing the WB screenmode?

IMHO the WB screen close and open notifications are more for small programs like commodities that you have in your WBStartup and it is easy to forget that you have running.

@salass00

Alright, maybe I'm overthinking the problem (screen notify support). Hiding the window would make iconifying trivial.

@salass00

Quote:Except screenmode changes are not the only prefs changes that trigger a WB reset. Also things like locale (language) changes, and IIRC fonts and various GUI changes.

They are probably more likely to occur while you have actual programs open on WB.

Tested today's build: iconify works !

Through, noticed 2 moments:
1). When we iconify, it iconifies with some defaul stub icon, while should have icon of the binary
2). It iconifies with name taken from the Title , which can be pretty long, while should be name of binary.

In others, visually looks like real iconify :)

@kas1e

Icon name seems to depend on program. What is the preferred way?

I will try to implement the icon search.

Name of binary is preffered, at least that how it most of time. For example In MUI progs its like this for sure.

There was some API for , if i remember right soething like "loaddiskobect" or something.

2.0.7 RC1 published here: https://github.com/AmigaPorts/sdl2-amigaos4/releases

Mirror: http://capehill.kapsi.fi/sdl2/

OS4Depot upload follows after testing.

What is your opinion: would a single file release for both user & dev be enough? Dual-file model makes testing and releasing more complicated.

Changes:
- SDL 2.0.6 changes
- SDL 2.0.7 changes
- lots of bugfixes (OpenGL, fullscreen, keyboard handling)

And no, iconification support didn't make it. It needs more work and testing.

In other news, Marlon Beijer has forked the official SDL git mirror and merged our changes on top of that. Perhaps the development moves eventually there so it's easier to keep both SDL1 and SDL2 up-to-date with the upstream. Shouts to Marlon!

@Capehill
Everything in one archive for sure better. Easy for everyone and avoid mistakes like using old sdk and new user files and in other way around.

@Capehill

Is it possible to copy/move the bugtracker of SF directly into github ?

https://sourceforge.net/p/sdl2-amigaos4/tickets/

Still some interesting issues to follow, but anytime go to SF to remember them isn't so friendly

@Capehill
Dunno if it worth to note, but just in case: i read README-amigaos4.md , and there :

But we have 4 ? software , opengl (minigl), ogles2 and compositing

@samo79

Issues are not forgotten. AFAIK there is no tool provided by GitHub for importing the tickets from SF so it is manual boring work.

@kas1e

True, also bugtracker points to the old place.

Is it possible to port the last version of Wesnoth?
A few years ago it was said that it can not be done because there is no SDL 2.0:
http://www.amigans.net/modules/xforum ... t_id=92473#forumpost92473

@mufa

https://wiki.wesnoth.org/CompilingWesnoth lots of dependencies, so it's going to need some effort. At least I'm *not* going to try it, I have too many projects already :/

@mufa

iirc one of the dependencies is boost (which we don't have, at least not in the version it needs)

@Capehill

Awesome progress, thanks a bunch

2.0.7-RC2 is out and needs testing: https://github.com/AmigaPorts/sdl2-amigaos4/releases
