Too late, I was faster

But thanks a lot for testing anyway!

Final call for beta testing, hexaae

icon.library.46.4.488beta works fine now!

No more WB title popping up during sseq.

TuKo · 18 July 2018, 21:07

That last beta fixed missing files in Shared Directory in WinUAE. They were appearing in DOpus but not in WB :-)

PeterK · 18 July 2018, 21:14

Thanks for testing and all your feedback!

I'm going to compile 488 final now without modifications, although I still don't feel good with this long filename handling, but maybe it's only RAWBInfo which doesn't check GlobalMaxNameLength and causes Enforcer hits with icon names > 102 chars.

hexaae · 18 July 2018, 21:32

I think RAWBinfo doesn't safe check a lot of things… Max icon size when copying by drag'n'drop, max filename length, etc.

kolla · 18 July 2018, 21:33

A non-reaction alternative to RAWBInfo has been high on my wish-list for a long time

PeterK · 18 July 2018, 22:36

Update to icon.library 46.4.488:

Three steps forward and two steps back: some fixes to avoid early WB openings, disappearing text files and disappointed users.

Me too… I don't ask anything too complex (like SwazInfo was), but at least decent with drag'n'drop on the tootlype area to copy tooltypes and on icon image to copy the icon, plus double-click to un/comment the single tooltype… and gadgtools based please (with mouswheel working)! No need of ClassAction or MUI for such a small basic tool IMHO.
Unfortunately there is nothing decent on Aminet

and SwazInfo author never released sources (it has issues dragging Coloricons+NI for icon copy).

Just a detail… I see you don't set std $VER: string in your libs. It should be: "$VER: icon.library 46.4.488 (dd.mm.yyyy) <comments>" or some programs/scripts checking/comparing for ver "could" give error…

P.S.
To be exact AmigaOS version number should use only "ver.revision" (e.g. 46.488), even though today *nix style with multiple revision numbers separated by . are common (but "incorrect")

And BTW, for the AmigaOS 46.39 > 46.4: for *nix systems decimals are considered (so 46.4 == 46.40), but for the Amiga .revision is an integer progressive number.

PeterK · 19 July 2018, 00:52

Come on, you should know why I'm always using 46.4 for Ver.Rev. Please remember the experimental check in Mike's WB 45.130/131, which did only test whether the revision of icon.library is 4 for his support of long filenames. Ok, I've fixed that in WB 45.132, but who knows , maybe some people are still using 45.130/131. You can always get the full string with "Version Libs:icon.library FILE FULL". or with Scout. And I'm using a build number by design to avoid wasting of too many revision numbers and to use "46.4" as a trade mark.

Btw, I'm glad that SwazInfo only swaps images of pure planar icons and never destroys color icons like the OS 3.1 Icon Information. For swapping color icons I can still use RAWBInfo or CopyIcon. I've installed both, SwazInfo comes first and I can call RAWBInfo via the "original function" menu entry.

@kolla,hexaae,gulliver:

Rewriting RAWBInfo to use some other GUI wouldn't help (and frankly would be a retrogressive step), as the bugs are nothing to do with ReAction.

No one has rewritten that beast as far as I know.

hexaae · 19 July 2018, 02:29

Reaction/ClassAct also sucks, for example scrollers usually ignore mousewheel… but this is another story

Well, I consider Reaction itself a big bug, since all maintenance is gone. Also, it is 020+ only, which is IMO also whack.

I doubt the built in WBInfo() will be changed much in workbench.library for 3.1.4. Olsen seems to not spend much time on that project these days anyways, since he is all busy with SMBFS...

hexaae · 19 July 2018, 11:00

Never understood why they choose poor ReAction/CA as std. Instead I would have adopted a simplified Gadtools builder like Triton GUI (AFAICR). No need to add external new thing underdeveloped and abandoned without modern features (again, CA is the only one not supporting mousewheel). Another bad choice.

kolla · 19 July 2018, 11:28

With Olsen now being a head developer of OS3, it would make sense to move to gtlayout...

Well well, enough off-topic I guess
