Done. But there are also 1 picasso96 driver (libs:picasso96) and 1 datatype (classes/datatypes)

First, the idea is very good. Sometimes it is difficult to find a special version of a library. Unfortunately, I cannot download the libs with IBrowse 2.4. Maybe I`m doning it wrong? Click (or double click) on the icon does nothing.

I dislike the filenaming. Any reasons for it? Personaly I make it so:
<library name>_<version number> --> arexx.class_41.72

Good idea i think so... any comment on this ?

edit: access to the ftp seem ok.
edit2: is there a simple way to batch rename all ??? (i'm under Linux)

fpu version of sndfile.library

If you use a database system it might be better to write all the further information except version number in a table right from the library name. Example:

Code:

Name                    OS version   CPU   FPU  [...]  Note



reqtools.library_39.3   ----------   020   ---

asl.library_40.6           3.1       000   ---

mpega.library_2.4       ----------   040    x

xadmaster.library_13.0  ----------   060   ---         Beta

...

I think at least the mark for OS version would be nice. Rest would be bonus. :)

Due to file naming "<library name>_<version number>". For me it is clean/easy to read and renaming (removing the version number) is also easy.

About batch rename:
I use an own ARexx script that tries to append the version number from $VER string to the filename. Tries because there isn`t always a $VER string and there is no standard way how it look like. So it is difficult to get always the correct version number. Hence it opens a string requester (I use RequestString by Thomas Rapp) show the version string got by DoVer (version replacement by wepl), ascertained string and how the renamed file would look like in an string gadget. Then you can choose OK for rename and NO for cancel. However, it isn`t in relase state now but let me know if you want to try.

For cleaning for example this: "68040_44.2(WB3.5).library". There is MultiRen on Amiga. For Linux I don`t know.

was the same on the FTP... renamed thx :)

something new dos.library 42.2 (2015) and diskfont.library 45.8.037 (2012)

What happened inside font lib ?

Have to disappoint you ... diskfont.library 45.8.037 (2012) is a buggy version and is useless, and it was once in BB3/4 and got removed.

What bugs are in that library ? I am using it but not tested precisely

Some fonts display corrupted
Some previous versions of the same patch work ok

Uploaded yesterday 220+ new libraries dans all libs from Aminet /util/libs.

I just found out about this, thanks for creating it, such a great resource!

Excellent idea, Foul! :)

Sorry to bump this old thread, but the first link in the OP open up a Game Room video from YouTube and the second link in the OP does nothing. I have tried both with VPN on and off with an PC running Windows 10 and the WaterFox browser. Can someone verify if the site is still up?

The site is still there (on https), but the hyperlink is broken, just type it in manually

I fixed the second URL.
