Re: how much?
It is not an extension to MultiView.
This is a package that has been written from the ground up over nearly half a year. The AMIStore price will be GBP £ 6 + vat / 8.40 EUR + vat / US $ 9.30 at current exchange rates |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
@amigakit
Thanks. Shame that pictures on Amigans.net are broken in Odyssey (I don't know which is to blame). |

Re: how much?
@amigakit
ok thank you, hope that will be integrated in next releases of AmigaOS since the original MultiView was REALLY old(about 20 years atm...)... |

Re: how much?
@Tuxedo
I don't think it will replace Multiview anytime if ever (it's a third-party "tool", not an OS compoment, if i understand correctly). |

Re: how much?
@Raziel
It's not an OS component quite true, it is a replacement in terms of functionality, the installer comes with an option to replace MultiView as the default tool in the def_icons where it's found. I also found that simply replaceing MultiView by renameing to MultiView.os and then copying MultiViewer to sys:utilities/MultiView worked very well. |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
@broadblues
Understood... What would you tell a guy who is still pondering whether to get this new software or leave it be and wait for it's (free?) integration into the OS later on (let's say 4.2). Also, it may bring new functionality when it comes to the UI, but it's still limited to the (missing) features of the underlying datatypes...it doesn't magically add stuff or patch datatype behaviour..am i correct? I know that a whole pack of new datatypes are being developed by salass00...will they get the same support in Multiviewer once available (especially if they feature new stuff)? |

I guess you didn't understand then, it's not an OS component, it's not likely to be included in the OS anytime son, it's not expensive, so if you think you'll find it useful, buy it sooner rather than later. Quote:
For picture datatypes, it uses the datatype only for loading and handles scaling rotation itself (using hardware acceleration in where available). All other datatypes display is handled by the datatype, but things like mouse scrolling by left mouse button dragging ( or middle where the LMB is used for selection like in the text gadget) are added. ARexx scripts add yet another layer of functionality. Quote:
Ofcourse if they are compliant datatypes they will work. |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
@broadblues
No idea why it works for you in Odyssey, but not me. I get a new tab opened, with the URL "about:blank" and the only thing showing is the thumbnail. |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
@broadblues
Any chance of a demo version of your program? It's a bit difficult to tell if I'd find it useful and/or like the way it works. (I dislike so many picture viewers that I wrote my own!) |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
There no plan for a demo at this point, I'm not sure how you would sensible disable features and give a good demo of it's functioanilty. The projected price is relatively inexpensive, if you are not sure, then wait for forum feedback etc.

Off the top of my head: Plaster some brightly coloured text (like "unregistered" or "demo") in the middle of the picture, or even several places in the picture. For text-based stuff, I guess you could replace/insert text with "demo" at regular intervals. Anyway, that's just some ideas. I'm not demanding a demo, just suggesting/requesting one. If you don't want to do one (or not right now) then that's fine. |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
For such as low cost item, I don't think there is much financial or practical merit in having a demo version produced TBH.

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG

I don't think it even makes sense to create a demo version of a program that can be bought for the price of a fast-food hamburger meal |

Re: Introducing MultiViewer & MultiViewerNG
Excellent comment - completely puts the price into perspective!
(although I do have a couple of £1.99 MacDo vouchers here ripped out of the Metro) |
