Toolmanager 3.1

[lopos2000]

Does somebody know how Toolmanger works? I tried to create a dock with images I downloaded from Aminet but i won't work.
Maybe someone can help me.
TIA

Do you have the necessary image datatypes installed?

[lopos2000]

What image datatype do I have to install? It's all a bit new to me.

It's simple. If you use JPG-pictures, u must have a JPG-datatype installed. The AkDT-packages are free (datatypes), try them for a size (a quick search link): http://www.aminet.net/search.php?name=ak&path[]=util/dtype&q_desc=OR&type=advanced

Just copy and paste the whole row in a browser....

I've installed successfully Toolmanager 3.1 on my Classicwb 3.1.

Already created the programs list, their icons (brushes), and the dock, but when i try to save and use it, it shows this message:
Can't write to file ENV:ToolManager.prefs

Does anyone knows whats causing this issue and how to fix it?

Take this test:

- Save As ToolManager.prefs on another path, also in RAM
- Copy ToolManager.prefs to SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/
- Now the settings have been done manually
- Reboot the system

Thanks for your quick reply AMIGASYSTEM

Which alternative Path do you recommend to save?
Ive copied ToolManager.prefs to SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/ but no change, the problem persists

[AMIGASYSTEM]

If you have copied/Saved in SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/ToolManager.prefs

After the system reboot you should no longer have any request, tested

Still no luck, cant figure it out what im doing wrong...

Oh you edited your post, ive replied without noticing you posted a video, im going to check it out...wait a sec

[Immortal]

Thank you so much for the video AMIGASYSTEM
I might have found the problem, ive detected the same file (toolmanager.prefs) with 2 different sizes on different locations, i think it was created during severals reinstallations of toolmanager.

Dont you mind to send me your toolmanager.prefs file?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I have only saved the default one then empty
Of the two saved config, rename one and leave only the one present in ENV

[Immortal]

let me show you what i mean, has you can see by the image below, ive two different file sizes...

toolmanager.prefs it should not be in SYS:Prefs, you can rename it or delete it (check what is saved in the file)

Thanks for your help AMIGASYSTEM! after following your tips, now the dock works



The only thing weird, its when i save the preferences, sometimes it works as it should, but on other instances gives me the same error has before, but if i restart my machine, the changes i made appear on the dock.
I dont understand, i guess this program its very temperamental

Hi Immortal,

It is very cool!

Now its time to customize the dock look

Where can i get those dock icons, located in the pictures below?
Whats the collection name? can you guys share the direct download link? Thanks!

[Immortal]

Nevermind, most of those icons comes packed with MagicWB.
Im customizing my dock now, and damn, its starting to look good

BTW is there a way, to "shrink" the height of the dock icons? right now they are taller, but i see other instalations with the icons wider than tall, like the 2 images ive shared above.
