Using Ranger...
In the tab "App" when i click on either "AmiDock" or "ScreenBlankerEngine" i get two info strings including "amiga.com".
In "URL ID" and "APP ID" the info "amiga.com" and "AmiDock.amiga.com"/"ScreenBlankerEngine.amiga.com" are shown.
I'm not sure but is amiga(.com) still in any way involved with AmigaOS4?
Is this an oversight, a bug in Ranger or being kept in there due to licensing?
Not that this is a bug or an issue for me, just curious.
Thanks a lot

The filenames of the XML settings files for AmiDock and for application.library contain the amiga.com string. I'm guessing you are seeing references to those.

In addition to their name, OS4 apps are strongly advised to provide an URL (actually, a domain name) to application.library, in order to avoid name collisions.
This URL ends up in the name of the prefs file (as in "Amidock.amiga.com.xml"), so it cannot be changed without breaking things.

And if you open the XML preferences files used by application.library-registered programs, you'll see that both Amiga Inc. and amiga.com are referenced in the XML public identifier. Legacy stuff.
