Re: Prototype of AROS ABIv0 emulator for 64-bit AROS
[quote name=deadwood post=4793]@deadwood - [quote name=OlafSch post=4786]@OlafSch - Then datatypes. It is a cool concept in my view..[/quote] In what function do you see datatypes? They are already included in AxRuntime.[/quote] that might be enough. Two questions.... you can develope a picture viewer, multiview as example, that accepts path to a picture as parameter and then shows it? Second, how do you add or improve datatypes? Normally you copy a file in a directory.. How is it done in AxRuntime?

Re: Prototype of AROS ABIv0 emulator for 64-bit AROS
[quote name=deadwood post=4777] 4) Test program written in Pascal [/quote] Note that I still have the intention to fork Free Pascal as soon as a new version emerges in order to add/implement the necessary changes to support 64-bit AROS. So far I have not noticed any issues with Free Pascal compiled 64-bit AROS executables, it is just that the ruling dragons decided that they will not support AROS ABIv11 and seem to have a sweet-spot for ABIv1 (which does not work and will never work for Free Pascal with current imposed restrictions. But hey, what do I know :) ) The only thing that I can not seem to realize is AXRuntime. That really requires 2 different RTL's to be active at the same time for which FPC does not have provision (and I was already told it will not be accepted would it be added)

Re: Irritating bug of the month - April 2024
Hi All, Just a reminder - one day left to vote! As it stands right now, the winner of the poll would be #116, and the winner in total votes would be #105. Total votes: #123 - 12 #116 - 13 #105 - 13 However, as you can see we have a very tight race this month, so even one vote can now make the difference. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out...

Re: Prototype of AROS ABIv0 emulator for 64-bit AROS
There are some components I would also like to see on a potential new linux environment. Diskimage device to f.e. mount adf. Then datatypes. It is a cool concept in my view. And Arexx ports. And of course a amiga desktop as base. I know and like both magellan and scalos. With both you can do similar things. What you prefer is a matter of taste. The basic difference, Magellan always was a solution on its own, whereas Scalos always obviously was designed as a workbench replacement. If possible both would be nice to have ;).

Re: Irritating bug of the month - April 2024
Ok, thanks for translation. Bug #140 is not about Relabel shell command, but about using Icon->Rename from Wandeder menu to relabel a disk.

Re: Irritating bug of the month - April 2024
Sorry I thought I wrote it in English, now it is translated ! SmartWB is not directly addressing bug #140, but what I had written in post #4, in the sense that after the relabel, the new name would be immediately visible, without using the procedure I described in post #4.

@AMIGASYSTEM Your post #4 is in Italian and I don't know what relation SmartWB would have with bug #140.

Re: Irritating bug of the month - April 2024
Sorry deadwood, on that note on Aminet there is SmartWB10 which also includes sources in C. SmartWB10 if I understand correctly allows an automatic update of the Workbench, I tried to compile it but it requires sources not in development, this could be useful if intehrated in the wanderer menu, or in the startup-sequence http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/SmartWB10

Re: Irritating bug of the month - April 2024
deadwood, regarding bug #140, when using the Relabel command to rename a volume, you don't need to reboot the system to see the new name (as in the bug report), actually just do a "Refresh" on Wanderer, you get the same result by using the Backdrop comado "Menu Wanderer", just turn Backdrop activate/deactivate This procedure also works when changing the icon to a Volume or folder, after "Refresh" from wanderer, the new icon will be visible.

Re: Prototype of AROS ABIv0 emulator for 64-bit AROS
deadwood, about Dopus4, the 64Bit version did not work well, I hope the 32Bit version will work !

Re: Irritating bug of the month - April 2024
Hello, This month's IBOTM marks half a year of running this activity! To celebrate this, this time [b]not one, but two[/b] bugs will be selected. First bug will be selected using regular rules via the poll above. Second bug, will be selected to award people who have been consistent on voting on things they find important but didn't have enough luck each time. The second bug will be selected by highest number of total votes in last 5 polls and combined with this poll. The current total scoring is as follows: #125 -> 7 #116 -> 6 #105 -> 8 In case both method end up selecting the same bug, the bug with second most total points will be selected. As usual, you can read descriptions of bugs here: [b][url]https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/labels/IBOTM[/url][/b] Have fun and vote!
