Tools Daemon Locks up Workbench

jcgeuze · 02 October 2022, 18:51

Hello,

I have Tools Daemon installed (2.1a) and when i launch any program from the menu bar is just locks up my workbench. I can still move around existing windows, but i can't do anything else.

Im running OS 3.2 on an pretty beefy A1200.

I've tried selecting the WB/CLI options and it does not really matter.

Funny thing is, as soon as i have one program running on the wb, Tools Daemon starts working as expected...

Any idea why this might be?

Much of 3.2 is based on 3.9, so it makes sense from that perspective. Many of Workbench's internals were significantly overhauled for 3.5/3.9, which stopped a lot of these hacky add-ons and patches from working.

Yes. Temporary fix for future, toggle Workbench menu 'Backdrop' and it will unfreeze.
