@tonyw Is that right? I just tried with the console, opened it on its own (Auto) screen, then iconified it. It closes the screen, sure, but the icon appears on the WB screen and when I double-click the icon, the Auto screen opens again. I guess the auto screen opens at LockPubScreen() time, so it lo...

@Rigo And as a result of this, I have changed window.class to now check for the validity of the screen it is supposed to open on before attempting to open. Basically what this means is that if you unlock the pubscreen while your window is iconified, then try to open it again, it will check to make s...

The Intuition autodoc (as well as the RKRM) encourages releasing the pubscreen lock after opening the window: You needn't hold the "pubscreen lock" for the duration that your window is opened. LockPubScreen() basically has the same effect as an open visitor window: it prevents the screen f...

The problem is the animation.datatype superclass is rather outdated and not terribly efficient. It needs updating to support truecolour formats ... I think the entire datatypes system is in for a revamp. For instance, it would be great to have a document.datatype superclass that would display text ...

One thing I cannot understand is why the OS4 Release Notes are still not part of the SDK. I asked some time ago, and was told that they are under NDA and so cannot be published. Allright, but what is the reason for making them classified? What's so terribly secret about them? AmigaOS4 has been under...

Some gadget inetrfaces have more functions than that tough, so in those cases you might need to get the inetface as well. I see, so whenever I want to call IListBrowser->AllocListBrowserNode() or similar functions, I do need to GetInterface() first. OK, that makes good sense. To sum it up, in order...

ReAction's clicktab gadget allows key activation of the individual tabs. Assigned keys work fine and bring the respective tab page to view as expected - but the clicktab also shows the following behaviour. If you press the particular key for the second time, the first gadget in the tab page may get ...

It is still there on my Sam440ep. I have U-Boot 1.3.1d and Update2 installed (uhci.usbhcd V53.7).

I would also like to point out that you should be using IIntuition->OpenClass() and IIntuition->CloseClass() exclusively when loading/unloading BOOPSI classes. The autodoc for OpenClass() says: "Use of this function can eliminate the need for getting the class interface ..." I'm slightly ...

Since the introduction of datatypes in OS3, we have always proudly mentioned them as one of Amiga's revolutionary features. Unfortunately, no one ever cared to provide good developer documentation for writing datatypes. (Same for BOOPSI classes or Dockies, by the way.) The potential that datatypes b...
