10 days agodeadwood will always have to be used from Shell, or is integration into AROS planned for the future?
On AROS One, I will see if I can create a small script so that the user only needs a simple click to start 32-bit applications.
Of course, Hollywood applications that still do not work well will not be included in the distribution.
I was thinking about tigher integration earlier, but I don't know if it makes sense anymore, so scripts are the way to go for now. Definatelly nothing will change with that for the next 3-6 months. I might revisit that in future - hard to say.

10 days agoOK, thank you, I just wanted to understand!
At the moment, as mentioned previously, Emuv0 does not work well with the native VMware video card. A solution to this problem is expected.
I noticed a strange problem with the Hollywood programme ‘Calendar&Clock’. The first time you run it, it works fine, but if you run it again, exit from the programme you get the error shown in the screenshot.

9 days agoOn AROS 32/64, you cannot modify/force a project icon on an executable file.
This is both good and bad. AROS uses an automatic feature that adapts the icon to the file, whereas on Amiga OS you can do this yourself.
My method is the most natural one used in the Amiga environment!

9 days agoCheck the icon properties carefully because it is impossible for AROS on a binary to have a design icon.
Bear in mind that I create my icons on Amiga OS 3.9 BB4 AfA OS and they are all native designs, but then on AROS they are
transformed according to the file type.

Try the attached zip...

P.S. I couldn't find anything on AROS 64 bit which would set the icon image, I had to go back to good old IconEdit on OS3.1.

9 days agoOkay, yours is an old Amiga Glow Icon, which is different from the modern, multicoloured DualPNG icons. With DualPNG icons, you cannot associate a Project icon with a Binary.
Even native AROS icons allow you to use a Project icon for Binaries. I cannot explain why this is not possible with DualPNG icons.

9 days agoOkay, I have my own set of icons that I created myself. Furthermore, DualPNG icons have an attractive and modern look, and you cannot use icons created by others in a distribution without proper authorisation!

I made a short video showing how AROS behaves with DualPNG icons. In the video, you can see that OS3.2 also has some problems with DualPNG icons.

ZuPaPlayer crashes when you press the Stop button, freezing the system and sometimes even VMware.
I know about ZuPaPlayer issues. Best to remove that software from distribution.

6 days agoOK, I'll remove it from the ZuPaPlayer distribution. It's a shame, as it was the only MOD player that could be used as a tool in the Mod File Icon Tooltypes.

4 days agoLilCalendar crashes if you try to change the colours in the Palette. Furthermore, if you set the mode to ‘Limpid’, it cannot be dragged so that you can save it in the desired position.
