OS3 Tool Bar To Scroll

AMIGASYSTEM · 09 February 2019, 11:02

You know if there's anything on OS3, but so does OS4, which adds a tab to the bar (i don't know what it's called in English) to scroll through the various windows.

To be clear, I'm referring to what AROS x86/68k systems use, as shown in the screenshot.

DOpus5 has it.

Thanks thomas, i know but I don't like the Dopus5 based workbench, i would like to have it on a traditional Workbench also RTG.

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for, but if it's a simple way to switch between different open windows, try DepthMenu. It's somewhat similar to the function provided with OS4.

What I'm looking for you can see it highlighted with an arrow in the screenshot.
"DepthMenu"I can't make it work, I get strange errors, what is required besides the popupmenu.library?

I see it in the screenshot, but that looks more like a gadget to cycle the current window to a different location, rather than to cycle to other available windows.

I've no idea what's needed for it to work on OS3. Perhaps it's worth asking the author, if SnoopDOS doesn't help?

No help from snoopdos, once started nothing happens, tried on many OS, maybe something is missing

What you want is something that supports so called "navigational" browsing, this is not supported by Workbench, as it is from the ground up a so called "spatial" file browser.

Isn't the AROS 68k based on Workbench 3.0?

AROS Wanderer is not based on Workbench, no. Nothing in AROS is really based on AmigaOS, it's based on the APIs of AmigaOS.

AMIGASYSTEM · 23 February 2019, 12:07

Yes, thank you, but it's a sort of clone inspired by the Workbench.

Have you tried using Wanderer on AmigaOS?

Not AFAIK, but there are arexx scripts that allow full control of windows. These can be added to the menu, or assigned to keys. If you use AddMenu.rexx in AfAWB they are already set up. They are part of the THE package:

Thank you James, i know THE i also updated it to THE 3 and translated it into Italian, having tabs on the low window as shown on AROS 68k is very convenient.

Sorry, my memory failed me. The arexx commands I was thinking of are not part of THE. I think the one closest in function to that AROS button is CDOP:

It will close the active drawer and open its parent.

Yes, unfortunately I have never seen anything that can add that functionality.
