icon.library 46.4 test versions - Page 11

PeterK · 30 September 2012, 11:43

Updated to icon.library 46.4.258:

Direct support for workbench.library v39/v40 by reintroducing the GetIcon() function mapping all newer icon formats to the 4 system colors.

Calabazam · 30 September 2012, 13:11

Still not working, even with the new version that don't need the newer workbench.libray.

Could MCP or another fancy program from my SS be responsible?

Just comment (";") MCP out and reboot. Then you will see if that help.

Could be everything. Why don't you tell me at least what the Version command reported?

You can also try to comment out the first two lines in your s-s, because I don't know what they do. And if it doesn't help try to comment out one line after another until you find the reason.

Peter my friend just checked the latest 258 version and it ROX.
Can't test for older workbench.library since I only use Kickstart 3.1+

I had an old version since I haven't updated for some time now, and I can say that icon loading (OS4, PNG) is A LOT faster (at least 2x-3x for sure) than the previous version that used datatypes.
Terrific job. I can't thank you enough for these constant and important updates.

Update to icon.library 46.4.259

I've rewritten the GetIcon()/PutIcon() functions again which now preserve the OS 3.5 color mapping information even if you save the icons with the old workbench.library versions v39 or v40. Just the PNG and OS4 truecolor images are converted into the OS 3.5 format.

mfilos · 07 October 2012, 22:56

And it works just fine as always!
Awesome work there mate

PeterK · 09 October 2012, 10:12

Update to icon.library 46.4.260

I've done it again. Now the GetIcon()/PutIcon() functions will keep using all the 256 colors of the OS 3.5 image data instead of mapping to the 4 system colors only when workbench.library v39 or v40 are in use. Thus, it's sufficient to load the icon.library resident to get support for all icons in 256 colors. Use SwazInfo for icon information and Iconian as icon editor.

Great. We should give you a gift or something

Peter for president

Nice news man... Just tested it in my 8 colors (MWB) ECS enviroment and it rox. Unbelievable how fast PNG and OS4 icons load in such limited machines without anything extra software and datatypes!!!
Epic work there man... /respect

PeterK · 09 October 2012, 12:14

Thank you for your positive responses, my friends !!

But, did you really test this icon.library without using Scalos ?
If Scalos or DOpus5 are involved, then they always replace some icon.library and also workbench.library functions with their own code. In both cases the GetIcon() function, which I integrated now again, will not be called at all. It is only called when the workbench.library v39 or v40 is doing the complete GUI representation.

mfilos · 09 October 2012, 12:23

I'm using ClassicWB 3.9 which doesn't use Scalos my friend.
Scalos is only used on ClassicWB Full/Adv/AdvSp (3.1 versions).
I also dislike DOpus5 so this was from a stock Workbench.library 45.131 on OS3.9

Gief more EPIC reworked modules like this. So much win in one thread!

Akira · 09 October 2012, 12:23

OK I Gotta try this, NewIcons pisses me off and I got way too many "little square"icons on my Amiga.
Do you think it can be run in tandem with FBlit, Peter?

I love your MWB setup, mfilos. Is that visualprefs on the windows? I'd love to take a peek at such a setup.

PeterK · 09 October 2012, 12:26

Yes, it really should be run together with FBlit.
Have a look into the IconDemoADF to see how that works.

@mfilos

Ok, so you could use your setup with workbench.library v39 or v40, too. But, of course, it's recommended to keep using the workbench.library v45, because it's much more powerful.

Akira · 09 October 2012, 13:58

Nice!
So where can we get this latest version? Aminet version is .256

PeterK · 09 October 2012, 14:07

The latest files are always attached to the first posting of this thread.

Akira · 09 October 2012, 19:28

Ahhh punching myself on the face for being a tit.
I figure it out and it seems to be working, however, I can't seem to be able to remove icon borders (as I think NewIcons was taking care of that before). How should I do that? I run the iconsframeoff command and nothing happens.

PeterK · 09 October 2012, 20:35

No, it seems to be impossible with the older workbench.libraries. They don't support frameless icons. At least, I couldn't find a way to achieve that yet. IconFramesOFF has no effect.

Btw, somebody reported a very old bug concerning disk icon snapshots with v39 or v40. The fix may come tomorrow or next days.

Akira · 10 October 2012, 03:10

My RAM disk looks like a black dot, if that's the bug.
Is there any way you can look into NewIcons and see how they remove the frame, though? Everything is fantastic except that problem.

I wonder why they had icon borders to begin with, a totally shitty design decision by Commodore :P

emufan · 10 October 2012, 14:39

PeterK: the new demo adf does not contain the workbench.library. can you add the newer again to it? thanks for all this.
