icon.library 46.4 test versions - Page 78

PeterK · 26 February 2016, 06:11

Update to icon.library 46.4.422:

Another improvement for the PNG icon tooltype array, which was limited to 127 tooltype strings before. This limit has been removed on request, the code is a few bytes shorter and a little bit faster now.

PeterK, Do you still want the HDF with ClassicWB Full + Scala MM400?

Let me know

PeterK · 26 February 2016, 12:15

Yes, if chaos is still able to reproduce the freezes and reboots with my icon.library enabled and can avoid these issues by disabling the iconlib.

Maybe it's possible to find out which function of the icon.library is called by SCALA with a running LibSnooper when the scripts are executed:

Michael · 26 February 2016, 17:22

Here is an icon lib snoop.
First few are on starting SCALA.
Most hits are from the file browser, it just keeps on hitting icon lib when opened, even if nothing is done.
The last few might be from when the script is running.

No enforcer hits during tests.

@ PeterK

The Icon.Library 46.4 is CRAZY FAST on OS3.9 !!!!!

Big RESPECT & Thanks for that

PeterK · 26 February 2016, 18:02

Hey, great ! A big THANK YOU, Nibbler

@Michael
Thanks a lot for the LibSnooper logfile.
Maybe it's a bug in my GetDiskObject(NULL).

Could you also include AddAppIcon() from workbench.library.
From icon.library it seems to be sufficient to snoop GetDiskObject(), GetIconTagList() and FreeDiskObject().
Set the task pattern to "SCAL#?"

This is a completely installed ClassicWB Full HDF file with Scala MM400. Nothing has been modified or even run.

This is purely for testing purposes

Michael · 28 February 2016, 14:57

This sample hdd also works fine with the 423beta

Must be an issue with some combination of other software

gulliver · 28 February 2016, 21:31

Maybe it is some patch/hack that has to be enabled to reproduce that bug.

Yes indeed, a terrible hack called "FixScalos" was responsible for this bug, and ...
... I was able to (re)produce the bug and this hack !

Fixed now.

Bloodwych · 06 March 2016, 15:41

Essential hack PeterK! Well, at least for older Scalos users.

PeterK · 02 April 2016, 23:30

Update to icon.library 46.4.423:

This is an experimental version! Due to an aging weak PSU in my 10 years old PC and a resulting failure of the main HDD I cannot test every configuration atm. Especially the 68000 version has not been tested with BetterWB yet.

I've tried to optimize some code sequences here and there, but don't know if it yields a profit or not. Since I don't have any real Amiga hardware I can't say whether this update brings any improvements or maybe even caueses problems like the removal of a WaitBliit() call where I thought it was not required. Please report any bugs like graphic corruptions on real Amigas and make speed comparisons if you like. Don't include this version in any distros until other users have confirmed that it works flawless.

gulliver · 03 April 2016, 06:26

Thank you PeterK for this update.

I hope I can get an A600. Mine was stolen (with of course, other more valuable stuff) when I was on vacation.
I need to resume testing the work in progress BetterWB and finally release it. And this includes testing this new version of icon.library. But I am running short of an A600 so it will unfortunately take some time.

mfilos · 04 April 2016, 09:38

Awesome as always thank you Peter.
Will try tonight on my A600 (with Vampire V2) and on my FPGA Arcade.

That's really sad and annoying. The only positive seems to be the fact that an old A600 is still a desirable machine.

On the last days I just had another idea for a modification of the 68000 version. I'm planning to remove the TrueColor conversion requester, since it makes no sense without a 68020 CPU or better. This will come soon.

@mfilos
Thanks for testing. I'm looking forward to your report.

PeterK · 07 April 2016, 07:37

Update to icon.library 46.4.424:

Removed the annoying requester for the TrueColor => OS 3.5 icon format conversion from the 68000 version of the icon.library. This saves another 384 bytes.

mfilos · 07 April 2016, 08:48

I didn't see any issue or problem with the v423 library Peter my friend.
Good call on the requester removal on 68k. Every byte counts

PeterK · 07 April 2016, 09:41

A sigh of relief, the same here on my WinUAE system where I reinstalled BetterWB and didn't have any problems yet. I think there's only one WaitBlit() left now from the original icon.library. Olsen once used it like other people put Maggi into their soup, here a drop, there a drop and then stir it up, and I don't like it at all.

amigasith · 08 April 2016, 11:42

Hi PeterK, I also just tested your new icon.library and it worked without any issues

I used my A1200 with OS 3.1 and a lot of patches on top. On the other hand, I did not notice any speed improvements with the new version either. But that's probably because your icon.library was already lightning fast before

Michael · 08 April 2016, 18:37

Some speed results...
Kens icon pack, 16bit CGX screen

v422 - DO5 - 14.30s
v424 - DO5 - 14.26s

v422 - WB - 11.60s
v424 - WB - 11.54s

Does it count as a speed increase ?
