Yes, this is a nice new feature of my icon.library: Converting icons with the wrong type automatically (drawer icons for directories).

Well, I would argue that drawers can be projects just as much as files can be projects - it is really up to the user.
Can I pretty please have this cleverness somehow disabled?

PeterK · 24 September 2015, 18:25

No way !

kolla · 24 September 2015, 18:54

But I know what I am doing!

I am back on icon.library 45.1 from BB1 and it works as I want it, I am happy that this mystery is solved for me

PeterK · 27 September 2015, 18:13

Update to icon.library 46.4.413:

Project icons containing a default tool entry already are no longer converted into drawer icons automatically when a directory with the same name exists.

PeterK · 20 October 2015, 11:25

The icon.library 46.4.414 "last1" has been released on Aminet:

http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/IconLib_46.4

Have fun !!

there was a nice "feature" with kiskstart v1.3 (or v2.0) that I found when copying floppies on my hard drive by drag and drop of the floppy icon : at a moment I thrown a non standard boot floppy to copy and was surprised to see that there was one drawer with the floppy contents created AND a file with the same name with .ks extension ! the copy process has recognised a non standard boot block and copyied it in that file. cool.

I've tryied this with all the new kickstarts after and discovered that that "feature" was gone :-(

PeterK · 20 October 2015, 17:06

Are you really sure that this *.ks feature was supplied by the OS 1.3 and not depending on an additional patch that had to be installed to do this trick ??

I can't remember anything like such a feature from my early Amiga2000 times with OS 1.3.

And I cannot add something like that to the icon.library. It would belong to the dos.library.

I guess, the support for extra kickstart disks was a feature of some early Amiga models only. (A1000 or A3000 maybe ??)

Look at this: http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/MakeSuperDisk

I've seen that on my A3000/25 at that time ^^) there was v1.3 and v2.0 hard drive loaded kickstarts on it and standard wb intalls on both sides. so it should be a "standard" feature ... for the .ks suffix I'm not so sure btw, perhaps it was .bb, I remember that the kickstart disks mounts on wb as KS...

PeterK · 20 October 2015, 20:35

I regret, but I can not give you any qualified help for this subject since I never owned an A1000 or A3000 and thus have no experience with kickstart disks at all.

Maybe somebody else here at EAB can give you some more information about this feature? (Start a thread)

Hah, don't think I have been banned here yet, only a.org and AWB a few times

Thank you very much for the drawer/project fix, perfect solution.

@Michael or any other. A speed test with this last1 lib? I don't know, is it slower than previous ones?

PeterK · 07 November 2015, 18:33

What to compare exactly?

Which two versions of icon.library?
Which config? CPU, GFX, screenmode, WB or DOpus5?

Retrofan · 07 November 2015, 18:36

DOpus, AGA, 030 comparing to the former lib. Sorry I didn't have to make the question that way, it was surely just a feeling.

PeterK · 07 November 2015, 23:09

Ok, I've compared 46.4.409 and 414 with OpenWin.rexx on WB and on DOpus5, but I couldn't notice any remarkable speed differences. Maybe some other changes in your system are responsible for your feeling.

PS.: Could it be a new bitch on the wallpaper that makes you a little tired?

Retrofan · 08 November 2015, 00:10

Hehe... no, I haven't found speed differences using them

. Thanks for the test.

PeterK · 01 December 2015, 02:15

Update to icon.library 46.4.415:

Replaced all FindTask(NULL)-calls with directly reading of the "ThisTask" entry in the execbase structure to save a few bytes and CPU cycles.

Thanks a lot for making the perfect icon.library. Every byte and every cycle is appreciated

. 124.000 views of this thread tells you something about our interest.

I've only tried it on WinUAE by now, but you know we only can find the difference using it for real with slower hardware.
