Autodocs/datatypes.doc error

For SDK 53.20, the datatypes autodoc has an apparent error in some example code that accompanies the entry for ObtainDataTypeA The code below shows a printout of "dt->dtn_Name", but it should be "dtn->dtn_Header->dth_Name" I think. Tom --------------------------------------------...

Some questions on GA_HintInfo

I've been trying out GAHintInfo on some program gadgets and it is very nice. One thing I've seen is that sometimes the hint text background is yellow (as I expected), and other times it will be grey. Any idea what I might have done or not done? The background seems to stay the same color for all gad...

Something odd in requester.h

The latest public release of the SDK has a set of defines like this: requester.h 53.22 (31.1.2010) #define REQI_Minimum (REQI_Dummy+1) #define REQI_Maximum (REQI_Dummy+2) #define REQI_Invisible (REQI_Dummy+3) /* NOT IMPLEMENTED YET */ #define REQI_Number (REQI_Dummy+4) #define REQI_Arrows (REQI_Dumm...

Re: AsyncWB no longer asynchronous

My machine is a SAM Flex 800MZ with 1GB memory installed and running OS4.1u3. Since mechanic was unable to reproduce the problem, I did some more testing myself. Some large directory WorkBench copies don't seem to cause the problem or not very much anyway. Finally I decided to test with a directory...

Re: Upd3 problem with Multiview and AmigaGuide

Thanks for your reply. In your case it might be simpler to write a small command to return the front screen name and pass it to your second Multiview instance. Relying on an external command isn't really elegant but it might make your workaround more useful. Yes, I might do that, but it would be muc...

Upd3 problem with Multiview and AmigaGuide

AmigaGuide has always been able to link to the display of a picture via a command like this: @{"Nodes Window" LINK "NodeEditWindow.ilbm/MAIN"} (same results for jpg as well) This worked fine in OS4.1 Upd2. It still "works", but with problems, on Upd3. What happens is t...

Re: Text file corrupted when dragged from RAM to USB pen

I'm not sure you could call corruption during a crash state a "bug", unless it happens for all kinds of crashes (rather than just a specific crash that might be corrupting memory in a specific way). So what kinds of crash(es) have you seen corruption with? FWIW, the problems I was seeing ...

Re: Text file corrupted when dragged from RAM to USB pen

I had something very similar happen yesterday. Like you I had the GR save a crashlog to ram: In my case, however, I dragged the crashlog icon over onto an SFS hard disk partition directory. The file did not appear in the target workbench window at all, but did appear if I did a CLI List command to l...

Re: First keyboard press eaten...

FWIW, I've seen this problem fairly often on non-Amiga machines as well (though I first noticed it on the Amiga) - Dell with WinXP, maybe Win7, and maybe Linux. (Though most don't show it - or at least the users don't complain too much). I sort of figured that it was a quirk of the USB hardware and ...

Re: Strange Keyboard problem

I can confirm, i've only found PS2 KVM adapters that works ok with the A1, the USB KVW never works for me. I finally came upon a solution that works well for switching between my A1 and Sam-flex, both with AOS 4.1. It's an IOGear two port USB KVM, one side connected directly to the Sam's rear USBs,...
