Just notice myself few days ago when want to attach some stuff from os4 : i can't attach .lha files, and code of forum say "can't attach .lha". Also as i notice today in some other topic, MickJt also can't attach .txt. It is possible to add ability to attach them ? .lha are pretty handy w...

Well, other more random/difficult to track down USB issues aside, I have one issue that keeps occuring occasionally (like once or twice per GB of reading). I get this: Task "EHCI Controller Task Unit 0" crashed. It is a DSI and it *always* occurs at address 0xA002000C. It is ignorable and ...

My Sam440 only has 0.5GB of RAM, and I *never* run out of memory, except when compiling fairly large programs. Something like Blender might use a lot of memory for large models. Otherwise the only situation I can think of SWAP being required is if you have a memory leak, and don't reboot! I have 0....

Yes, I mean that intuition should implement this kind of very simple mechanism. I assume most functions imply a lock, such as OpenScreen/Window, CloseScreen/Window, not just the explicit Lock functions. Most of the time it locks up it seems to be some app that aren't handling its pubscreen properly,...

The Amiga graphics.library lags so completely behind when it comes to handling RGB. Everything has to go via the ancient pens. I just learned that MorphOS and AROS has a new function (or atleast new attributes) that amend this by letting you set an RGB value directly as A-pen and presumably B-pen wi...

@trixie I agree with Calgor and nexus. The way Clagor describes the behaviour is the correct, and current, behaviour. I also think like nexus that it should be up to the used to decide when and if to use this. WindowsXP has this feature and has had it for long. However, the gadget needs to be put th...

About every other crash locks up the computer (or so it seems). I would assume this is because of a deadlock in intuition when the Grim Reaper wants to load. I have a suggestion: I think intuition should track all locks to IBase and PubScreenList and all other such locks. when a task crashes the cra...

I find there is a lot of things you have to guess or try and crash regarding ReAction attributes and methods. For example: LISTBROWSER_Selected What happens if you supply a value that is out of range? Does it crash in true RA/intuition style, does it truncate, does it nothing, or will it deselect as...

I have a suggestion/bug report for the screen blanker that comes with OS4. It is clear that it listens to the multimedia don't-blank-flag in application.library. It is also fairly obvious that MPlayer tells app.lib that it shouldn't allow blanking when it's playing. Ok, great. When MPlayer crashes (...
