No Peter it is a standard OS3.9 without any modification, try to install you OS 3.9 and you will get the same result.
Can anyone do some tests to confirm, thanks Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 23 October 2021 at 16:26. |

Normally a def icon is ghosted before you snapshot it.

Change the type of ENVARC:Sys/def_library.info into a "Tool" and the problem should be solved. On my main system I don't have that ENVARC:Sys/def_library.info file, that's why it works. Last edited by PeterK; 23 October 2021 at 17:01. |

I was aware of the "wrong" assignment on def_.library, now try to delete the DefIcons from the WBStartup and you'll see that your icon.library will assign a project icon to the libraries.

Ok, confirmed. I have to do some more investigations why this happens on OS 3.9 but not on my main system.

Peter, if it helps you, I found that if a library icon is created by Dopus4, Dopus it will assign the def_library correctly, I know it's obvious, but this confirms that the problem is only on Workbench !
EDIT: The arcane revealed the culprit seems to be "def_project.info", if you delete/replace this icon the def_library is associated correctly Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 23 October 2021 at 23:30. |

In any case I specify that the def_library configured as Project icon cannot be considered an error, in fact I use this setting on AfA One where as "Project" tool I use an Arexx Script that allows to install on the fly the examined library if this is more updated.

Update to icon.library 46.4.554, 47.-1.554, 51.4.554: (see 1. page)
° On OS 3.2 the writing of deficons won't call UpdateWB, workbench.library is closed after the version check. ° FreeDiskObject() now checks for "DiskMagic" and clears it before the DiskObject structure memory gets freed. ° Fixes in the file type identification for executables by the datatype system. Some appeared as a "project". |

Ok thanks Peter, however, remains that on OS 3.9 must be changed some def_icon, in fact if you run Deficons executables will always be assigned a "project icon", this is because def_toos on OS3.9 is set as a "project icon" and not eseguibil, see screenshot

No Carlo, as far as I can see def_tool.info is/was always of the type "tool", in OS 3.9, 3.1.4 and 3.2, but all deficons from other icon sets are mostly of the type "project", sometimes even drawer icons. Edit: Ok, on the OS 3.9 CD it's indeed a "project" icon, maybe I've corrected that later.
If you don't want to use the program DefIcons then you can also install the exe.datatype in order to detect executables on AmigaOS. On Aros 68k there is something that detects "exec" instead of "exe". I still don't understand why all "executables" like libraries, devices, datatypes, etc should get a "tool" icon, because usually they cannot be executed directly as you can do it with a program. But that is a decision of the AmigaOS developers. I'm just trying to do the same as the OS now. Nothing was tested on AfA_OS, which is not the same as AmigaOS.

You can verify also on CD OS3.9 the def_tool is a project icon, look at the first secreenshot !
exe.datatype has always been present in my systems, exe.datatype can be useful to consult and understand what an executable uses. As mentioned the def_library as "project" icon can be useful if you use particular arexx scripts, you can see an example in my "def_library" icon on AfA One: Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 03 November 2021 at 13:31. |

Why should they get an icon at all? Aren't they senseless? On my OS 3.1 install such files have no icons.

Example a JPG, MP3, ZIP etc... file if it doesn't have an icon associated you can't use it. On OS 3.1 (primitive system) these file types are seen as "all the same". |

We are talking about "libraries, devices, datatypes, etc". Deficons or not.

So, why did you want it to appear as a "tool" before? Maybe it's just the symbol which looks more like an executable, but a tool icon is pretty useless. Now, you got what you were asking for, if the exe.datatype is installed, but DefIcons and def_library.info are not. The exe.datatype will force all executables to appear as a "tool", the same as by DefIcons without the def_library.info. Then you have to change the type manually to "project" again, if you want to start your Arexx script or maybe use Multiview in conjunction with the exe.datatype to get some information about the executable. Without DefIcons or an exe.datatype the icon type will depend on the E protection-bit of the file. And with DefIcons and also def_library.info installed you can set the preferred type in the deficon as you need it. I'm not sure if anything is better now ... I just remember a song in which they say: "Be careful what you wish for ... you might get it all" ... Last edited by PeterK; 25 October 2021 at 18:56. |

Hi Peter, I noticed that with your Icon.library on "OS 3.9" in the Toltype Icon "Duakl-PNG" is not shown the icon type "name", see screenshot.
On OS 3.2 instead, as you can see from the scrennshot, the text on the icon is shown even if it's round. Another oddity on OS 3.9, this happens even with the native icon.library OS39, the text is not shown even to the icons Drawer and Volumes, Icons Glow Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 11 November 2021 at 12:36. |
