6/7/2023 0 Comments Amiga simpleftp crashing![]() Dockies : a dock with only dockies in it to monitor activites of running applications (cpu meter, equalizers for an audio player, indication of received mail for the mailer, progress bar of the burning software, etc.) Dockies : possibility to choose which dock the dockies will be added, a true transparency mode a "thumbnailer" (a la eastern) : I will even go further and propose (mybe via a preference) to do thumbnails of every file types having an appropriate datatype (yes I know I come back to the datatypes, but that is (was) a so innovative and clever concept that I find it scandalous that it was let apart for so long). Icons : add 32bits and PNG support to IconEdit A system monitor : task lists and possibility to kill those that are crashed, preview CPU usage Advantage of this is that with a good documentation and a sample plugin it's not required that OS4 devs write all plugins themselves. Samba, OpenSSH : It would be better to make a network handler then plugins for Samba, FTP, SFTP, NFS etc. Input : Handling of multimedia keys, joypads Clock, Pla圜D, Blanker modules : there are a bit outdated, aren't they ? integration of AmiUpdate into the system in order to update it, mode to install yet unstalled softwares Multiview : add possibility to do a small diaporama, a small playlist, etc. ![]() Find : too simplist, don't manage to search into every drawers GrimReaper : useable GDB that does not freeze the system one time of two when attaching a crashed process ReAction : classes improvement, higher level interface. Multiuser : minimal support for multi-user Petunia : support of Classic Amiga custom chips Datatypes : improvements in datatypes system (streaming, cross format saving, thumbnails. Printing : improvement in the print system Yes that's a good idea, here is the summarized list done by Corto at the end of the thread (I only translate the post he did even if I don't agree with every point, remember also this is a resume of a discussion about the latest *publically available* OS4 version) : What about making a list in English here ? After entering an URL the requester and lister could have a menu option for permanently keeping the current URL in the device list. You should still be able to mount a specific url as a device for easy selection. The requester should have an option for both "devices" which works like the old way, displaying assigns and devices and a "recent" option that displays url's previously used.Ģ. The system could remember the last urls you used so that you don't have to enter the url over and over again. Of course you do need support function to ease the process for the user:ġ. If using a set of handlers can match that without any fuzz then it's all good. The file is uploaded.Īgain the paint program has no idea what an ftp site is. The user enters a filename and presses save. You decide to store it on your ftp site directly and enter in the address bar. For example you want to save that pretty picture you just painted. This should work in any lister or file requester. The application itself has no idea what plugin was used. The application renders the listing on screen. The virtual filesystem returns a directory listing to the application. The plugin returns a directory listing to the virtual file system. The virtual file system requests a directory listing of the corresponding plugin. (The plugin must have an api for pattern matching, like datatypes.) The url is parsed by the virtual file system according to the rules defined by the current plugins to determine which plugin to use. The application requests a directory listing for the url from the virtual file system. The user enters an url or a local path in a lister application. One should not have to mount anything manually. Other useful utilities besides listers could also be handled by the project.Īre there any developers in the os4 community that would be interested in participating in such an open source idea. The goal being that it should replace the current outdated lister system. Integrating FTPMount like abilities so that you can just write " in the address bar (and alsop sftp, samba and whatnot). Scaling down the files' icon and displaying it on the same row. Direct browsing of archives like zip and lha, perhaps interfacing with xad. And then add things like drag an drop between listers. It could start out small, with just a slim file lister that can be used to navigate the file system. With Diropus Magellan seemingly never happening it might be an idea if the community itself started to build something that might some day be incorporated into os4 itself.Īn open source project, using C/C++, with a license that would let Hyperion use the code in OS4. Just fishing after some developers that might be interested in enhancing the AmigaOS4 experience.
