Hi ppl,

What apps,tools used day to day for your needs?

I give you my one.

I use OWB daily..
Gcc daily.
Vim, editor,mix editors I use.

I can not use email programs like simple mail,yam on aros and I don't know what needed them to work, I use my phone for emails.

Lets gather all needed needed apps on aros for the moment.

I am working on multiple projects for aros but they are my choice.

I also want to take a project that we will need and use daily not another clone we already have..

In fact replicating already existing programs is just a waste of time, in my opinion it is necessary to add what is missing to AROS so as to become autonomous in operations without the need for external OS.

I am not a developer but in my small way I try to give my contribution, now I'm working on Dopus4 where I'm associating to the best tool all the most common files.

Now I have finished the associations to all the text files like PDF, Guide, HTLM, TXT, etcc, then will be associated device libraries and all the system files that have an extension with program "Version", so that with a click you can see the version and other info on the clicked files.

The only problem encountered on Dopus4 "AROS" are the text files without extension, it is solved by removing the protection bit "E" but this is a problem to do it to all files, other solution is to associate "Read" to all files without extension, but this will also show the executables as text and then they will no longer be executable at double click.

Of course it's a kind of bug only for Dopus4 AROS version, other Dopus4 of other OS don't have this problem.

Hi Serk

I use OWB always, MPlayer, AudioEvolution, and current Paint App for little works, I don't do many photos anyway I used Framebuild for my collection, I think that making this program a simple video editing software is something exclusive for Aros :)

Then we don't have a 3D graphics program, the only sources we can use are those of Raystorm and Skulpt3D :-\

YAM seems to have problems closing requests! There are some Experimental Nightly Build of YAM that support the new AmiSSL 4.9/10 but there is no AROS version :(

I really do believe AROS should have working email client , we use emails all the times..

-Yam  (I will work on this).
-Dopus (needs fixing).
-OWB (needs update).

What else???

Yes on AROS you need the essential applications first, Drivers first, many people try to install AROS  HERE some examplesand then abandon because much of the hardware in their possession is not supported, better to build on a solid foundation than on the sand of the desert :)

Yahoo Mail works with OWB, you can also import other accounts in it, you should make a first configuration on Windows or Linux this regarding the importation of other accounts because you need to authenticate with them

Better to use a email client for emails..

If you have the problem of "requests" that don't close, the fault is in "muimaster.library", the version included in the deadwood distros seems to be corrupted, you have to replace it with a previous one.

Now YAM is working fine for me but only with incoming email, outgoing I have to understand if I'm doing something wrong!

it is not worthwhile to use these email clients, especially you need to organize your mail  :)

Now YAM works perfectly, after replacing the muimaster.library and reconfiguring everything, it is now possible to send and receive emails.  8)
