Re: USB keyboard & mouse freezing frequently since Update 3

I've had no problems with my hub - it's a USB2 powered one which I've owned since the dark ages, and has worked flawlessly on my AmigaOne G4-XE since the first USB-supporting pre-releases of 4.0, and on my SAM440 with all iterations of 4.1, plus any other computers running whichever OS that I happen...

Re: weird problem with upd3 - dos.library?

I too have noticed that YAM is taking quite a lot longer for its "Loading Folders" stage since update 3. I am using a JXF4 partition. I would say that my version of YAM is taking about 5 or more seconds longer than it used to. Loading YAM seems fine here, but when I close it it updates in...

Re: popupmenu causes intuition freeze

Well, I've tracked down the problem, it was caused by a simple AllocSignal(-1) before popupmenu.class was even opened. I don't have time to create a test case right now, but AllocSignal() followed by the empty menu creation I posted earlier ought to show the problem. The signal does not need to be u...

Re: GUI improvement we need

Well, the first one is an easy fix, as the button is probably being redrawn with RefreshSetGadgetAttrs() which is forcing a refresh when one isn't needed. Simply use SetGadgetAttrs() on buttons that contain an image to sort out the double refresh problem. As for the others, I can't really do any mo...

Re: popupmenu causes intuition freeze

It's always difficult without working example code. Myself, I create the menu object and call PM_OPEN in the child process, and the result is stored some where where both the parent and child can access. I have had no problems with this so far. Ah, are you using a process then and not a task? I'm g...

Not sure, because both have been in development for years and I think were originally planned for 4.0.

Re: popupmenu causes intuition freeze

@rigo Since Update 3 didn't fix it, I've decided to try your suggestion. I've created a task which simply calls IDoMethod(PM_OPEN) for testing, but it gives me an error that I'm trying to call Open() from a task (I'm not, and I'm not sure why PM_OPEN would be either), and then promptly deadlocks exa...

Sadly a very quick test with Update 3 reveals that they aren't, or at least the fixes didn't make it into the update :-(

Re: Feature request: Workbench.prefs

Snapshotting icons onto absolute positions may have been a good idea in the past, when you rarely changed your Workbench screen resolution (most people used 640x256). But today the feature is rather counter-productive. Each time you change the screenmode (you bought a new graphics card; you changed...

Re: Amiga OS 4.1 & FastFileSystem SFS/00

Not that i want to blame MediaToolBox for choosing the wrong block size, but if FFS (not sure), JXFS and SFS RELIES on being used with a block size of 512 wouldn't it be possible to tell MediaToolBox to change it to a default of 512 as soon as those SF's are used? JXFS doesn't work at all with anyt...
