Hook notifications are all you have publicly available. Attach a DOS hook type notification on the parent directory, the struct NotifyHookMsg will provide the action and name of the object changed / deleted / added. struct NotifyHookMsg { int32 nhm_Size; /* Size of data structure */ int32 nhm_Action...

Hi, now using this code to SYNC, suing AllocDosObjectTags now: Tried a couple of times and seems to work fine, any "difference"/"better" to use AllocDosObject() instead of previous one. Could I get a problem, 'cos now I strncmp 'RAM Disk:' instead of 'RAM:', maybe someone rename...

... I figured that, but it isn't how any of the other prefs editors work (even Last saved and Restore within URL prefs don't appear to operate like that). Likewise the lack of a "Use" button. Try the same test with Pointer Prefs and you'll see what I mean. For the URL prefs, I don't know ...

The act of selecting the menu "Reset To Defaults" performs the action, just the same as selecting "SnapShot" from the workbench menu actually does the action requested. Clicking "Cancel" to exit, actually cancelled any edits to the new reset configuration, and not cance...

NetSurf works, but it re-launches the entire program before it sends the command to the existing session and exits, so it's less than ideal. I don't intend to split it into two just for the sake of launch-handler, although I might write an ARexx script to do the job. But that kind of defeats the ob...

@colinw ... I am inclined to say that you chose the right trade-off... BUT I humbly suggest your solution is still incomplete regarding two situations: 1. Old programs, which won't get updated to work correctly for some reason (e.g. the program is no-longer developed). 2. Multi-platform programs, w...

Arexx support will not be added to l:launch-handler or c:URLOpen, at least not by me. Arexx is basically legacy software and parts of it are still in 68K assembly language and will have to stay that way, as far as I understand, it is not possible to do anything about this due to some sort of issue w...

I'm aware of LoadSeg NewLoadSeg and InternalLoadSeg for 68K Other than the LoadSeg documented in the Autofocus for DPS.library I have not seen other vectors... Have a look at the; interfaces/dos.h file, there are 6 different loadseg vectors that can be called. Excluding 68K loadables with OBSOLETEI...

By the way, just incase you didn't realise this.
Depending on the version of dos.library, you may have up to five LoadSeg() function vectors to patch...
At best, three, and two if you want to exclude some 68K loadables.

Please post a detailed enhancement request for the functionality you require to do this properly.
Use the "AmigaOS Feature Request" forum to do so.

I do not provide developer support for hacks that patch system functions.
