If you like it, check out the source code of the DAControl and trackfile.device which make this possible. Both are part of NDK 3.2 Release 4 and are released specifically under a two clause BSD license for reuse and tinkering

Hi everyone !

If I understood properly, in OS 3.2.x, due to the fact ENVARC: is not copied into ENV: but "linked" with MAKELINK, if a file is deleted / overwritten (and not just modified ?) in ENV:, it won't be applied until a reboot ?

Should I (does any of you) use "env-handler" (happyenv clone) instead to work around this potential issue ?

Cheers

It works correctly since 3.2.1 where if you delete it from env: it will not be fetched again. Until next boot obviously

Oh, perfect Thanks for your quick reply

I think I found a bug in TextEdit (currently on 3.2.2) which freezes the system (at least in my WinUAE environment as I'm on easter vacation with no access to my Amiga).
I was able to reproduce it on a stock 3.2.2 installation with only P96 (3.3.3) and MUI5.

Just open TextEdit and type a semicolon ";"
Then "Search & Replace" that semicolon with a space and semicolon " ;"

Voila... system freeze.

Thanks, I'll test and see if I can fix if I can confirm

Confirmed, fixed, and scheduled for next fix we release

Awesome! I was about to write that I was able to reproduce not only with semicolon but with spaces and ENV word as well.

yes it is a general bug, and it could manifest itself in another way where some things might not be replaced and it could even cause a crash

The past few days with constant file opens and edits in TextEdit, I managed several times to have a file opened with the screen empty (without cursor as well in it).
Here in current screenshot is Startup-Sequence opened...


From the moment it fails to open files (with empty screen) no file can be opened again with it.
If I try to open a new tab then, the following weird state occurs


System doesn't have any other probem as I opened same files in JanoEditor without issues while TextEdit was having this issue.
In order to overcome the issue a restart is needed.

Sadly I can't reproduce it in order to find it's cause (and to be able to report it as the previous bug)... Need to troubleshoot more

Yes I'm aware of that bug as well, and we have a fix. It really sounds like it is getting time to get our hotfix out.

Damn that was fast
I'm so happy for all this fixes that makes OS3.2 so amazing! I especially love TextEdit which is my favorite editor!
Lotsa kudos to all of you \o/

Hi friends sorry if this is the wrong thread but I am having difficulty registering on the Hyperion site. I wish to get the 3.2.2 update, I followed the registration process, received the email indicating "Your account on "Hyperion Entertainment Message Boards" has been activated by an administrator, you may login now" But every time I try logging in it indicates I am not registered. I have sent emails, responded to the email indicating I am registered, but alas, no response. Anyone have any ideas? thanks

Hi, is it possible that something changed in L:CrossDOSFileSystem?

I am using it in CF0: to read cF card from PCMCIA adapter.. so far everything was OK.
Today I updated tu 3.2.2.
While unpacking a file on CF I got an read/write error. The CF card gone broken
(I couldnt format it Windows to FAT32)
I used new the same carrd - but since this time I only see CF0: uninitialized..

The file system has not changed since 2020 and AmigaOS 3.2-3.2.2, etc. all shipped with the same version 45.39.

This could be a hardware defect after all, even if the card itself is new, or maybe the card announces a higher capacity than the hardware really supports (you know the stories about "forged" USB memory sticks). If there is no salvageable data on the card, could you reformat it? That is, reformat it with track verification enabled, e.g. "format drive cf0: name cf-test"? This might show if the card is still writable and the expected storage capacity is available.

Thanks for help..
So I used this help CF boot starting disk that uses old fat32 filehandler from aminet: https://sites.google.com/one-n.co.uk...boot-cfd-fat95

And CF reader started working again on it!
So its not the hardware problem.

To sum up:
After updating to 3.2.2 PCMCIA card reader stopped working.
After changing the handler from CrossDOSFileSystem to fat32
(from aminet) it started working again..

The 3.2.2.1 hot fix is out ! check the hyperion website

[mfilos]

Camilla do we have somewhere the complete changelog of the fixes applied?
Cause the ChangeSummary has the changes of complete 3.2.2 + Hotfix. (althouth I saw that the changes were mostly TextEdit, IconEdit and ShowConfig)

TextEdit works just fine though
I also saw that ROM wasn't changed at all alas the exec.library problem with Vampire boards also exists (using exec.library from 3.2.1 ROM is the way to go for now).

The releasenotes contains all changes, so look up iconedit, textedit, texteditor.gadget, sketchboard.gadget and layout.gadget to see the details

I think we fixed about 10 or more bugs

No the ROM has not been changed as the current thinking is that it is not the ROM but somewhere in the 080 (just not a very common bug, and that the ROM just happens to expose it).
