BestClassicWB v2.0 for OS3.2

Are these ones working with 3.2.1 and is there a similar lha file available?

That would interest me too

There is a guide how to use OS 3.2.1 with classicwb, but I found it slightly buggy. You have to fix some stuff afterwards.

You have to fix many things, and many more you will find out later, my advice is to install OS 3.2.1 "clean" and then add the things from ClassicWB that you are interested in and that are supported.

Thanks! I am especially looking for that right-mouse button function, that pulls up a drop down menu. Any idea if that's compatible?

[mfilos]

That is MagicMenu for right click activity and ToolsPrefs/ToolsDaemon for extra menu items. It's rather easy to put items there based on ClassicWB.
This is mine based on some features of Coffin, some from ClassicWB and some of my own :P

@samplist: Why are you using old program versions in your BestClassicWB v2.0.4 when many programs was updated long before you compiled v2.0.4? Not all programs on Aminet are up-to-date. Also have a look at www.amiga-storage.net dopus.free.fr and www.vht.dk

very Nice your Menu

I noticed this as well, it is also missing http://aminet.net/package/util/dopus...ryOpus.CLA.lha which is needed to be able to add filetypes. Took me about 20 minutes to figure out what was wrong.

It is suitable for 020+ and AGA chipset (or similar UAE setup).
You'll need a clean OS3.2.1 installation, after extracting the .lha file double click the BCWB icon to start.

Can you please update this great Project for OS 3.2.2?
I would love it.

I've installed this on a clean OS3.2.2 and haven't found any problems so far.

@shelter @ma693541 - what programs are out of date? Why don't we keep this up to date as a community?

I've noticed the following and have downloaded updates to update the BestClassicWB archive:

- DeliTracker
- EaglePlayer
- Dopus - missing http://aminet.net/package/util/dopus...ryOpus.CLA.lha
- iGame - does it make sense to migrate to iGame2?
- TSGui
- VirusZ (with bootblocks added)
- xvs.library

Open questions from me:
- Is there a simpler way to update AExplorer? http://aminet.net/package/comm/net/AExplorer_Update
- Are there any major gaps in included programs? Was thinking that replacing MiamiDx with Roadshow might be smart
- Is there anything from traditional ClassicWB missing?
- Are there any other pieces of DOpus missing which should be default added?
- Should iGame -> iGame v2 migration happen?

Anyone have BCWB 2.0.4 with OS 3.2.2.1 in FS-UAE? For some reason my keyboard isn't functioning correctly with this configuration.

My question is, can I achieve this graphical appearance on by stock A1200 with 8MB RAM expansion?

I wish there was a HDF that I could just transfer across or overwrite existing ClassicWB with this to avoid having to set up again.

This reminds me of Jaybee's Amiga In A Box - it was a head of its time!

Can you please update this great pack for OS 3.2.2.1?

Perhaps with a pistorm and RTG... I'll give it a try on my CDTV. c",)

Any news yet?

It's been a long time, and family and work kept me away from one of my favorite hobbies.
I'm working on a version of BestClassicWB for 3.2.2.1 now, but I'm looking to update as much of the software included with the latest versions before releasing.
As far as I remember some of the latest software versions were crashing or didn't work well in my target setup (A1200/030/50) e.g. iGame, Voodoo-X, etc, but I'm going to follow some of the recommendations in this thread and see where that leads.
I'm also thinking of hosting BestClassicWB on GitHub so that everyone could potentially contribute to it, let me know what you think.

[cloverskull]

I think hosting on GitHub would be great as long as it can preserve correct Amiga attributes/file protections. I'd love to contribute.

I've created a test repo and made some tests, it seems that window/icon positions are saved. Icon tooltypes are saved as well. What other attributes should I be checking?
