PageStream installations in OS4.1
Just popping in
Just popping in


See User information
After almost 9 months trying to install PageStream in multiple versions (3.0, 3.2 and 5.0) today I succeed to install all 3 of them. Interesting enough, versions 3.0 and 3.2 only run without HDD installation and from a USB stick, and 5.0 was installed apparently without any problems in my HDD.

Unfortunately in none of the 3 versions I have managed to enter (insert) any text in a new document. I can place the cursor within a column, but when I type nothing appears on the screen.

Has anyone seen this? Is there a fix for this problem?

SEPARATE (BUT SIMILAR SUBJECT): Has anyone ever succeeded in installing or running PageStream III (or II) in OS4.1? How?

PageStream 2.2 seems to be broken by one of the recent OS4.1 update. AFAIK on 4.0 it worked.

The 3.0 had several problems, so that shouldn't be bothered. If you really want to use PageStream upgrade it to 4.1.5.6. That one has its own problems too, but it is able to use for productive work.

You must update the fonts in the system/preferences

Has anyone ever got Pagestream 5 to work completely on OS4?

The native AmigaOS 4 PPC release 5.0.3.3 Pro is useable to some extent and sometimes even more reliable than the 4.1.5.6 release of Pagestream (with selected functions). I use both versions. Nevertheless: It tends to crash with certain functions and you should save fast and often.

I'm running 5.0.5.8a on OS4.1u6 on my A1-XE with about the same level of usability cha05e90 is getting with 5.0.3.3.

I've been happily running 5.0.5.8 Pro for a couple of years on my SAM460ex. It was a bit more problematical on my now expired A1. (I don't know what 5.0.5.8a that someone else reports success with is.)

That is not to say it works completely. The python scripts don't work at all for me. Colors are a bit of a mess -- I have to set them up for each completely new document, although if I can reuse a previous document, they're fine.

The earlier versions of PageStream I used didn't import and export graphics files perfectly; a big plus with 5.0.5.8.

The catastrophic (so far) downside is, I can't get it to work on my X1000 at all!

Hmmm ... sad news indeed, that OS4 port is never finished. Is at least 68k version stable and usable?

Very sad for what used to be one of most pro software on Amiga

Agreed. I know I was thinking about buying a copy for AmigaOS4 but when I looked into it a bit more decided against due to the problems listed in this thread.

I would buy it if they promise some 68k and OS4 updates and final stable functional version ... would support its developmen

Point is I need a good word processing / DTP.

Did anyone manage to install it at FE? I tried both 5 and 4 PPC versions and they both freeze the system as soon as the first windows open (tools and properties). I tried to make them open on custom screens but I didn't manage to make them work.

Any help on that? Pagestream is a very nice application and I really hope to get a new breathe in case someone retrieve it's development.

My old install of 5.0.3.3 OS4 native is still working. I haven't re-installed it.

Does it open on it's own screen? If so, what is the name of the screen? You have it set up at MUI Screens or at the Prefs>Screens???

I added a screen in MUI for it. I just did that when it opened on WB when I tested it.

You said, "I tried both 5 and 4 PPC versions and they both freeze the system as soon as the first windows open (tools and properties)."

That sounds exactly like the problem I was having until this morning. What I had to do was unselect "Like Workbench" in MUI > Screen [PageStream, Board 0:1920x1080 ARGB32] > Edit. I also turned on Autoscroll and Compositing, but I don't think those mattered.

Pagestream, but I don't think it matters - I created it from MUI prefs within Pagestream and just told it to use it.

@kilaueabart

Mine's set to "like wb", so it's not that.

Unfortunately, for me it starts in workbench screen and not on it's own screen. As soon as it freezes the system I can't do anything else, except hard reset.

@chris
in your users.prefs does it have any config for screen resolution? Or something that would force it to open on it's own screen?
