CloverIcons and OS3.2

amifan · 21 March 2023, 16:08

I recently reinstalled OS3.2.2 with CoverIcons, however after installing the icon pack it seems like def_icons is no longer working. For example before installing CoverIcons I could download an LHA file and if I had Avalanche installed for example it would unpack it. After CloverIcons the file no longer has a default tool and looks like in the picture. Is there anyway to get a universal de_icon working again before I installed CloverIcons?

The DefIcons program which comes with CloverIcons is for WB 3.1 or older only. As stated in the Readme you will need at least DefIcons v44 for AmigaOS v44 or newer.

But OS 3.2.x also has it's own advanced DefIcons tool v47 already. You might have overwritten that by installing CloverIcons. Of course, DefIcons v47 is recommended to be used on OS 3.2.x.

Make sure that C:DefIcons is finally v47 from OS 3.2 again and not the old version from CloverIcons. There also should be no older DefIcons version in WBStartup either. OS 3.2 seems to have just the DefIcons.info file stored in the WBStartup drawer, no tool.

The contents of CloverIcons/Envarc may be copied to Sys:Prefs/Env-Archive, but it's up to you which deficons.prefs file you want to use, the one from CloverIcons or the OS 3.2 version. I didn't try out this configuration on my system. I don't know whether Prefs/DefaultIcons from OS 3.2 can still read/edit/update the old Envarc:deficons.prefs file.
