You need to understand that some systems, despite all warnings, are created in non amiga friendly enviroments where they are literally stripped of all protection bits. It has happened to many users, just too many times to ignore it. Restoring them by hand, one by one is a tedious process that no one will ever do. The only way to ensure that the machine will boot again under those circumstances is by doing what that ugly line does. It is not nice I agree, but it gets the job done. |

Setting one shell variable does not count as customising the OS, it's a matter of using a feature of the OS. A feature that your sledgehammer of a command slams to pieces. Were you even aware? May there be more files for which setting executable flag may change behaviour of OS? Have you consulted this with the developers? If BestWB is meant to be installed on a fresh 3.1.4, don't you then know already what flags should be set on each individual file? Why not set them accordingly?
|
I have already explained why.
It is okay that you dont agree. You dont need to. :) |

Most of what Best added is support tools. No docks, backgrounds, etc... |
I really like this suite of tools and add-ons to Amiga OS 3.1.4 - It is a nice selection of useful items. I cover this a bit in my latest 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast, but I will be digging deeper into it! (As soon as I read through all those Amiga Guides that come with it!)

@Dynamic_Computing
If you need help just let me know. BTW, I will probably build an update in the near future. There are 3 bugs I want to address and a feature I want to add. |
Gulliver, thank you for putting this together, it's a fantastic set, especially for someone like me that has been out of the Amiga scene for a while.
I would like to second or third the sentiment though that changing the exec flag on all files is a bit heavy-handed. I've modified the script for myself to only do it in certain directories, so you don't have to set around individual files. Maybe you can do that as a compromise? Looking forward to the updates! NOTE: One item that didn't work for me - MagicMenuprefs, asks for WBRun, which I can't anywhere. Just copied version from Aminet download and it works fine. |
Is there anything on BestWB that will allow me to unzip many files at once without having to use shell?
|
About the LHA you can do it with Dopus4, just highlight the archive and then click on the second window, you can automatically unpack the LHA archives with the Tab "Arc Ext".
About the LZX, ZIP and RAR they have not been configured on Dopus4 but you can do it. If you use WinUAE you do not need to do anything, just drag the files (LHA, LZX, ZIP, RAR) on the Workbench and you will have the archive already unpacked |

I use it to create packages for HstWB Installer. It’s currently written in Powershell, but can easily be converted to Python for cross platform usage. |
