No, nothing like that happens on my system, neither on OS 3.9+3.1.4, nor on the same with AfA and my icon.library activated. Check your Envarc:datatypes/exe.prefs. On my system it's an empty file (0 bytes). Check your system for possible patches like MCP or scan all for "def_system" strings.

- Envarc:datatypes/exe.prefs-> I have no file named exe.prefs
- MCP Startup-sequence Disable - MCP Prefs Disable - Datatypes Prefs Disable After renaming everything and restarting the system "def_wxw.info" it is always requested (see screenshot) This happens on all of my AFA-OS systems including AfAWB1.4. Probably something is missing from your AfA-OS! Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 13 November 2018 at 08:51. |

An Aminet search for "def_exe" finds these tools:
http://aminet.net/package/dev/basic/AmiBlitz3 http://aminet.net/package/dev/c/APPSource http://aminet.net/package/dev/e/powerd http://aminet.net/package/dev/lang/SecalDemo Anything installed ? |

There is no string "def_exe" in any file of the complete OS 3.9 CD or in AfA_OS 4.8.
Why don't you scan your system for this string? Ok, it's still possible that some program could call GetIconTagList() with the tags 'deficon by name "exe"', that would also load ENV:Sys/def_exe.info, but usually the name of the tool is not "exe". Do you have MultiView_AfA installed ? Last edited by PeterK; 10 November 2018 at 19:15. |

Testeted OS3.9 BB4 + AfA-OS 4.8 and it is not required def_exe.info (see screnshot) Surely there will be some application that does this, sooner or later I will find it ' Important that now the icon.library works flawlessly on Afa-OS, now I can see well the icons OS4 / DualPNG from dopus4, now also OS4 recognizes all the icons AfA-OS Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 13 November 2018 at 08:51. |

@AMIGASYSTEM: Could you find the culprit already?
Added a new 46.4.508_LD020: This update supports the PNG icon "Frameless" flag now and the TrueColor mode can be disabled with the command "ConvertTrueColor" to create the OS 3.5 icon format or "RestoreTrueColor" to switch TC on again. These features may also be introduced to the other library versions soon. The "Frameless" flag can be changed with RAWBInfo or Report+ for example. |

Hello, my friend, in Italy we say "Find a needle in the haystack" or "Find a hair in the egg". Well whit AfA-OS I found it, look at this video in full, the surprises are not lacking (with icon_lib.exe it does not happen)
Find the OS4 icon archive here: http://os4depot.net/?function=showfi...or-amigaos.lha Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 26 November 2018 at 23:22. |

Hi Carlo, it's the same proverb with the needle in the haystack here, but we find hairs in the soup! How do they get into Italian eggs? We only find chemicals in our eggs from time to time.
Interesting video, but I could not reproduce it on my system, no matter which library I use. Does that also happen on your fresh installed OS 3.9.2 with AfA_OS? Without your RemLib trick, of course. |

It is said so because you will never find them
Peter, it seems that on OS3.9 BB1-2 Standard + AfA OS, RemLib does not work and your library is not loaded, is missing something do you have any advice? Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 14 November 2018 at 19:17. |

On OS 3.9 SetPatch is loading the icon.library, so you won't need RemLib. Just rename icon_lib.exe to something else and everything except themes and skins should work. Maybe VisualPrefs and Birdie can do that job, but I never use themes, skins or Birdie.

Update to icon.libary 46.4.508:
This update supports the PNG icon "Frameless" flag now and the TrueColor mode can be disabled with the command "ConvertTrueColor" to create icons in the OS 3.5 format or "RestoreTrueColor" to switch back to TC mode again. You'll need to update the windows after changing the mode. The "Frameless" flag can be set with RAWBInfo or Report+ for example. |

Yes, old story but finally resolved
ASyncWB can stay in WBStartup just insert the parameter in Tooltypes "NOCOPY" Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 26 November 2018 at 23:21. |

OS 3.5 Format?
I'll be more than happy to search through all 147 pages of this thread if I'm told to...
I haven't used my Amiga in about a year (burnout??) and getting back into it, I made a system from scratch under WinUAE using an A1200 as base and 68040 with UAEGFX. Not sure if these details matter but figured I'd mention them in case they do. I am using the TD020 library from the latest update. I seem to recall during my last stint when copying icons over from varius PNG sets that I would get a popup asking if I wanted to convert the icon to 3.5 format. This time however, I'm not getting a popup and because I'm partial to the Kens Icons v4, they are really slow to load since they are 32-bit PNG. Kens icons V 2.3 are only 256 color and load way faster. The question is, what am I doing wrong here as it seems that they are being converted on the fly and that is what is slowing things down. I'd like to convert them into the 3.5 format as I am replacing them (using CopyIcon) so they are faster loading. Hope this makes sense... an awesome piece of software you've built!

On my Mini-PC with WinUAE and P96 the TrueColor icons are loading really fast with TC020 now (208 OS4 icons in 1 second), although I have not a high-end system, it's more low budget. I hope you have the WinUAE Jit enabled. Last edited by PeterK; 14 November 2018 at 23:52. |

My AsyncWB icon has only the tooltype "DONOTWAIT" and it works.

Peter "DONOTWAIT" it is also present in mine ASyncWB, on my AfA-OS "DONOTWAIT" it is hidden and it is not visible.
The problem happens if there is only "DONOTWAIT" without parameters. Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 15 November 2018 at 00:38. |

Hmmm... I did not have the JIT enabled but I went in and tried it but they are still slow. I must have something else off if you are getting what seems to be an instant display of the full color PNG's. |
