FYI, the core issue for this has been identified and will be in the next update (whatever that might be). In the meantime, please just put a slash at the end if you type the path in manually to work around the issue. Sorry about that annoyance.

Charming as usual.

Go ahead and submit them. They are being read and will be fixed if possible.

e.g. The issue with a crash when setting a background on the screen itself has been fixed and will be in the next release.

I can see the same thing under a plain 68000 CPU with screen a picture for a screen background and I don't even have to select ResetWb. I will raise a bug.

Thanks kolla. I'll have a look and see if I can replicate it.

I just looked at the os3 source and you are right about the window option. It also handles 0x for the parameter so that's not the problem. Maybe you just need to remove the space between WINDOW and your window value, so try WINDOW0x502c34ab

Yes, I know it is not OS4 but backwards compatibility ...

I think the documentation is a little bit confusing there.

The "WINDOW" argument is actually referring to the "CON:////" argument. There is no argument that actually SAYS window. There is a SCREEN argument that takes a screen address, though.

Yes, GetPrefs() is REALLY OLD and is only supported for backward compatibility with OS 1.x. It can't really represent all the preferences that OS 2.0 and higher can save.

The way to read preferences since 2.0 is not as simple, unfortunately, and is described in the link below:

Is that true in general or just for classic?

Actually, I just saw a similar problem in an ASL requester (well, I assume it was ASL) last night and forgot where it was. It might be a problem in some very common code. When I remember/repeat it I will post where it was.

Thanks. I knew it was one of those things that show up at random, but I got it more often than not. Thanks for confirming and raising.
