miker, I'm trying to compile the svg.datatypes on Aros One v11 x86 64-64Bit on WMware, but I encounter an error in the "makefile", when you have time you can take a look at it https://archives.aros-exec.org/?function=showfile&file=datatype/image/svg_datatype.i386-aros.zip From WMware I tried compiling your "IconClone" and "Icondrop" on AROS One v11 x86 64 and they work perfectly, while "IconSplitter" crashes, but I guess it depends on the v11 x86 64 system!

I'm still working on revising & testing PixieView as well as ViewTIFF. More updates will be posted when they are available.

PixieView is working with the newer system files. Nice new icons too!

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=7075]@AMIGASYSTEM - Thanks miker, now PixieView displays image XBM ![/quote] When I had to re-write Load_ImageDT function to fix not being able to delete the image after viewing I forgot one important part to view ILBM images or any other image less than 8 bitplanes. In order to display these images I use a Datatype trick. No matter how many bitplanes of data the image has if it's less than 8, the planar bitmap in the Datatype always has 8 bitplanes. So some planes are filled and the rest are empty. So if ( depth<8 ) depth = 8; Then when we are ready to display the image we use the stored pixel format vs. the requested pixel format. So if depth = 8 or depth = 32 we request 32bit ARGB. Now we use WritePixelArrayAlpha to display it.

Thanks miker, now PixieView displays image XBM !

Here is the revised PixieView program. It once again supports images less that 8 bitplanes. The About Information has been updated and the rotate functions don't leave fringing. :-)

OK as soon as I download PixieView I will start building and deploying the new AROS One 2.7, so that I can then devote myself to the new Core 20241209-D04 !

AMIGASYSTEM The PixieView program has been revised. I updated the About Information & I fixed the fringing on the image when rotating left or right. I also added the fix for images less than 8 bitplanes so that they will display correctly. I will compile it & post it at lunch time today in a couple hours.

Attach image XBM

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=7052]@AMIGASYSTEM - miker, Pixieview does not recognise the XBM format, see screenshot, with Multiview the XBM format works fine[/quote] Could you post some XBM images to test with? Post the XBM that caused this warning message. I suspect it is a different bit depth. I will probably need to make a small change for display purposes. If ( depth < 8 ) depth = 8. It seems that XBM is black and white with 1 bitplane = 2 colors.

OK thanks, in the meantime Pixieview is the default tool for viewing images on the new AROS One that will be released in a few days.

The Zoom In/Zoom Out & Maximize/Minimize using Scrollbars will be in the next update as well as being able to open images centered on screen rather than at top left corner of screen. These features require a large re-write of the program & much of the existing source code needs to be cleaned up. There's much work to do. :-) P.S. - I'm working on revising S-MultiView (Super MultiView) for testing purposes. If I'm satisfied with the new features I will ask deadwood if we can include many of the new features in standard MultiView that we all know & use daily. The new features are Edit File on the Edit Menu that looks at the App Icon to open an editor based on the currently loaded Datatype Object. Also new is the ability for About information to recognize HAM6/HAM8 & EHB images. Zoom In & Zoom Out, Maximize & Normal are all working. Only Minimize (Iconify) isn't working yet. I have to fix that. I'm not sure if Convert to PNG will be included, but for Picture files that's very useful. For Sound we could have Convert to WAV. For IFF Text we could Convert to standard text. That will all be tested in S-MultiView to make sure it is working. Of course, the other option is to completely omit the Convert to functions & instead just use Edit File to open the current filename in the appropriate editor. Then it can be easily converted. I haven't decided yet. But keeping MultiView as pure as possible is surely as important as adding features to improve upon it.

Thanks miker, now the images can be deleted, PixieView is perfect, there is only a small problem, it is not important maybe you can improve in the future, in practice if you view an Image higher than the resolution of the video used, the image is cut and you can not see it in full. For example, if you have a 1024x768 screen, you can't see the entire image at a resolution of 2048x1024. With Multiview, Zoom is not supported, but you can see the entire image via the vertical/horizontal scroll bars

AMIGASYSTEM Try this new version of the PixieView program. You should now be able to delete a picture file after viewing it. If you find any issues please let me know so I can fix them. Thanks for testing.

I will compile & post the updated PixieView program later today. It will solve the problem of not being able to delete a picture file after viewing.

AMIGASYSTEM After doing some testing with PixieView I found the unfreed resource that prevented deleting an image after viewing. The source code is several years old and it's very messy. In the Load_Image_DT function there is a subfunction to read the BMHD by using a Datatype. But the DTObject wasn't being freed. I will revise it and I will compile a new version later today and post it for testing.

Hello Amigos, I recently discovered the marvelous option of running Icaros in Hosted mode, utilizing a solution called hostbridge, which is analogous to Host-run in WinUAE and uses Amikit as RabbitHole. This feature is very intriguing, as it elevates Arosx86 to a new level of functionality—a brilliance that Amikit has cleverly harnessed, although Amiga fans are often slow to appreciate the possibilities of new features and improvements. I am curious to know if there is any distribution of Icaros built on Amiberry x86 Linux or on top of Lakka. This would allow us to run Icaros x86 with Linux running in the background, enabling us to offer Linux emulators or applications that could be useful within the Icaros desktop environment. Think of it like Amilator—we could run Arosx86 on top of Linux without having the Linux desktop visible. Essentially, it would be fantastic to have a distribution that we can install on a USB or internal drive, running Linux in the background to enhance Arosx86 hardware compatibility and leverage the Linux API for more demanding resources when needed.

[quote name=AMIGASYSTEM post=6961]@AMIGASYSTEM - miker with PixieView I have encountered on Wanderer but also on Dopus4 a strange thing, after you view a graphic file, afterwards it cannot be deleted, reason file in use ! with multiview this does not happen.[/quote] I've noticed the same issue. I will look into it. There is also some unfreed resources at times. Maybe the two issues are related. If you notice anything else please let me know.
