Tony, Stephan Rupprecht had a Print Manager that worked quite nicely under OS 4.0 at least, since then I didn't test it again, but Raziel seems to imply it's not working correctly with lpr.device. I think Raziel knows that AmigaOS doesn't have spooling support and I think it's the reason he tagged h...

You mean that each time I plug & unplug a device, a driver must initalise it ? if not the device does nothing... ? every time? it is not the case of some device like mouse and touch device for example I think. when there are plug they start sending data accross the usb. My problem (like probabl...

@Hans-Joerg & Thomas I agree that it's developer responsibility to read, understand and conform to the API documentation. But on the other hand it would make sense if AllocVecTags() doesn't allow impossible combinations, returning NULL instead of an allocated object that is known to be crashing ...

@Tony

The problem here is that Josh sent incompatible parameters to AllocVecTags() ie. AVT_TYPE with MEMF_ANY. He's already checking for return but in this case AllocVecTags() allocated something that is not usable, instead it would have been better if AllocVecTags() returned NULL.

Never had such problem with network which would require a reboot.
Can you give details? OS version, ethernet card... Is there a reproductible pattern or is it random? Anything which you would find useful to reproduce the bug.

Hi, probably I missexplained... I use the "max size" argument at 48 because I have various icon sizes on my hd and I dont like to see icons bigger or tinier of another only icons of the same size... However I wish to use some big icons and so I like to have a list where to put the path of...

If the easiest solution to this means that such library functions should be rewritten to fail more gracefully and provide help info, i am all for it. I agree with you that such a vital function AllocVecTags() could be more error tolerant providing at least a graceful return with adequate error code...

It seems to me that as the set of acceptable values is (very) limited, there should be no problem in giving an error when a not acceptable value is proposed. It seems to me you didn't realized that the compiler has no idea what AllocVecTags is actually doing (that's the job of the OS). Nonetheless ...

I am rather disappointed thet the compiler does not give any warning, error or undefined reference in this case. Maybe this thread should go to the SDK section. You are disappointed that the compiler didn't tell you you were passing wrong value to a function, aren't you? If that's the case then it ...

Agree, the prefs settings need to be reorganized at soon as possible, personally i like the MorphOS prefererences and i think that somethings similar can be done :) http://jpv.wmhost.com/morphos2_review/pics/04-prefs.png For myself that's one of the thing I don't like in Morphos. I really prefer th...
