Icon Management

14 October 2004, 10:59

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here, I've been using Amiga for a long time and equally have been using WinUAE for ages, but have only recently discovered Amiga-in-a-Box and the joy of Amiga Hard-drives

oh the sheer thrill of the speed.

But i was hoping to set up a folder or a section of my workbench screen to have all the icons for my lovely hard-drive installed games...dragging and dropping onto the workbench screen works so long as i have 'leave out' set but when i quit WinUAE i lose it all, i've tried snapshotting but that also failed

Is it posible to create...sorry...window's style shortcuts to the desired icons from another folder or location to save having to keep messing about delving into all the different folders.

Help please, also can anyone recommend a good icon management tools for changing certain icons thats actually user friendly? oh and preferably downloadable

I use IconLink to create icon-shortcuts and they can be moved in any directory you want. Kai sä kässäsit?

Hi, Thanks a lot...downloaded the program but couldnt install it because it says i have to have os3.5

currently running workbench 3.0 with kickstart 3.1. is there anything i can do using these or do i have to purchase OS3.5 and is it worthwhile?

Well i have no experience with OS 3.5 on WinUAE but on a real Amiga it's a good purchase. But if you don't want to use OS 3.5 here are two other programs that should do the same trick:

Hope they are of some use
