I have tried v1.2 of this program and yes, Minuous, it has a bug in it. Try to convert a file to a html file and have a closer look at that html index window. I did that with gullivers BetterWB and the result was a html file with numbers and no text in the main index window (to view it in Amiga Forever's Player).

StoneOakvalley · 28 November 2014, 00:21

Got some mini-time to look through some reported bugs along with some other stuff done for todays v1.3 of AGWViewer.

Check it out, if it works better now?

@StoneOakvalley

Thank you for the update. I had lots of crashes with the old one
It works beautifully under windows 7 32bit.

Michael Sykes · 28 November 2014, 01:19

Thanks StoneOakvalley.
A neat little tool for a quick look into guides without starting an emulator.

Any plan to support external pic links for embedding?

Minuous · 28 November 2014, 06:30

Thanks, this new version is quite good...

I have found two bugs though: the major one is that the Index function is giving this kind of output:

CreditsAndLicence: Over Overview
History: Over Overview
HowToPlay: Over Overview
OtherReleases: Over Overview
Overview: Over Overview
Requirements: Over Overview
(etc.)

The node named "Over" (title of it is "Overview") is the first one in the file (except for "main"); its name and title seem to be getting used for each node.

Also a very minor bug, there is a capital W in the text which is being changed for some reason to a lower-case w...I can send you or attach the original guide that causes these issues if you like.

StoneOakvalley · 01 December 2014, 16:48

Hi minuous,

Yes, let me see that guide that transformes into w. I notice too the "double" title instance, actually not on all guides, even seen in v1.2. Have to fix that one too, looks stupid now.

Hi Kernel,

Do you have an example guide, so I can understand?
Isn't the pic thing a V40 guide feature?

Minuous · 01 December 2014, 20:04

OK, file is attached. The word "Website:" in the "Credits and Licence" section is being shown as "website:".

Re. linking external pictures, the official docs say:

"If you are running AmigaOS 3.0 or above, you can jump to any file that is
supported by Datatypes - pictures, animation, anything. You must still
give a "node" name, even though the file is not an Amigaguide file and has
no "nodes" - so just use "main": "picture.iff/main"."

So something like @{"Foo" link "bar.gif/main"} would make a button called "foo" which would, when clicked, open a new instance of MultiView to show the picture "bar.gif". In Windows, this would probably be best handled by eg. ShellExecute(0, NULL, "bar.gif", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);

StoneOakvalley · 03 December 2014, 16:17

Hi minuous,

See if the v1.31 fixes did the job. Have not decided yet if I'm gonna look into external linking, pictures and other files. I know it don't support loading other .guides if they were linked up yet.

Many thanks for this excellent AGWViewer, StoneOakvalley

May I ask you for two additional features?

1.) I would be very happy if I could change the background color from gray more to white in order to get a better contrast and easier readability.

2.) It should be possible to change the destination drawer for the generated HTML output files, for example setting it to %TEMP%\AGWViewer.

StoneOakvalley · 03 December 2014, 18:53

Hi PeterK,

1: Yes, you can tweak this by editing the new guide.css in the installed program folder to whatever background you want. The BODY Background tag.

2: This could be a nice option indeed and easy to implement. I'll make it as a option, checkmark, and saved into the INI preferences file (in case others people like it to appear in the installed program folder (like me).
