i do agree with you. there were plenty of programs for the amiga. and its a real pity, if these information will be lost.
even if alle projects have their own website, it would be a great benefit for all, to sync their databases. even, if not all data gets used on all frontends.
all can have their special features - more pics, downloads, short movie trailer, comments, or the like.
i hope you find a way, to work together

onkelarie · 14 December 2008, 21:57

harrison and i are discussing the possibilities of data exchange as such. This would indeed be very interesting for preserving information about amiga applications.
Xpect is currently giving lots of useful input on better data registration. I?m also planning png support instead of jpg support. That was as some mentioned' not the best choice... More info will follow

so far' rhanks to everyone for putting their ideas and opinions in the thread.

It's good to hear you two join efforts

Let's hope Josh and BuZz will join in to make it one solution for all Amigans

Looking forward to see what you'll make of it

This has kinda made me think about resurrecting Atomic Cabbage, going to need to tweak the code and such a bit though since I've not touched the site since... 2003... wow that's a long time.

On that note, anyone willing to help me pad out the games section somewhat? (obviously not people working on these other projects because I'd not want to detract people's attention from something else). It'd basically just be to fill in a few fields and upload a screenshot for any games that are/were in demand.

Atomic Cabbage? Wow!

Is that the site which hosted a ProDAD p.OS pre-release ISO image all that time ago?

Enverex · 21 December 2008, 12:06

Yeah, lol. I thought I may as well put that disc to some use after I bought it and didn't use it for anything. I've pulled pOS now though due to trying to minimise bandwidth usage...

This sounds cool!
A lot of people usually forget about the "boring" world of applications.

Keep it up!

onkelarie · 22 December 2008, 19:01

I'm currently adding TOSEC entries to the database. X-pect is feeding me with additions to the database, like selection of multiple chipset selection, which kickstarts are supported, etc.

The image support is now switched to PNG only, to guarantee lossless image quality. Publishers and programmers can now be added as well. No support for editing entries of those two categories yet.

Please forgive me for 'false' info on entered applications at this moment, my first and foremost goal is to have many of them in there.

I've already contacted several companies (which I could trace) if upload of the ADF images is permitted. At the moment you need to be logged in to get access to the ADF images already there.

bLAZER · 22 December 2008, 19:29

Cool idea indeed... I'll register and get to work right away

bLAZER · 22 December 2008, 19:40

Unfortunately the new user registration process isn't working. I got the activation mail but when I go to the link in the mail just a black white webpage is shown. Also if you try to login it doesn't say weather login succeeded or not.

onkelarie · 24 December 2008, 16:29

i'll look into that asap. Im not sure what's causing that (on the subway on my way home atm).

All added apps have their own dedicated little forum now.

Just registered and logged in succesfully

Will see if I can add something useful during the christmas holidays onkelarie

onkelarie · 24 December 2008, 18:26

Much appreciated Cyberdruid, the more the merrier of course!

I'm currently looking into the confirmation email problems concerning the registration process. I'll place an update once I've found the problem.

EDIT:

The problem is now solved. @Blazer: Your account is now activated. You can log in with your username and password you registered with.

bLAZER · 25 December 2008, 03:48

Good work onklearie. So I just added 14 programs with about 4 images each.

Some issues:
* Version number can sometimes be for example 0.99 or unknown, now you HAVE to enter a version number, and it must start with 1.
* The harddisk install isn't ticked in the edit interface even if it was saved as hd-installable.
* You must be able to choose unknown for kickstart and chipset

onkelarie · 25 December 2008, 10:15

Thanks for the additions bLAZER!

I've changed the version prefix setting and entering a 0 is now possible as well.

'unknown' options have been added to the chipset and kickstart lists.

The HD install is still a bit puzzling why it's not being set correctly in the database. I'm looking into that...

Shoonay · 25 December 2008, 10:42

Great work you guys!

bLAZER · 25 December 2008, 13:45

Good work onkelarie. Although sometimes an app (for example Oktalyzer) doesn't seem to have - or it may be unknown - version number... so maybe you should be able to add a '?' or put in blanks

lopos2000 · 25 December 2008, 22:33

Nice website. We needed one like this. Just registered and is working fine.

bLAZER · 26 December 2008, 16:10

Another issue: you can't use 3.01 as version number, it gets converted to 3.1

onkelarie · 16 January 2009, 10:05

All entries with letter A from the TOSEC list are now entered into the database, but are FAR from complete. Others of course thanks for sharing their application knowledge and updating the database so far!
