AROS ABIv0 20190416 Development

Question also for scalos should i use the muimaster.library included in this new iso, instead of the one included in the archive "scalos-builds-20220710"

Functionality-wise It should be exactly the same muimaster.library, difference is the one on the ISO is build without debugging information and is smaller.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Ok thanks, I will use the one included in your new ISO also for Scalos.

In the new ISO you attached to me, are there any other updated files?


In THIS discussion user ntromans reported to me a problem with Driver "i8042.hidd" for trackpad use, the 2016 Driver on his PC was working fine.

I noticed that when dragging a DualPNG Icon the transparency does not work, see screenshot, in prativa the transparent part around the icon is colored black.

Hi All,

I released a patch for 20190416-2 release:

https://axrt.org/download/aros/v0/AROS-20190416-2-PATCH-1.zip

Contains fixes to png.datatype and fat-handler as well as backport versions of Prefs/Asl, Prefs/ReqTools, Libs/asl.library and Libs/reqtools.library.

Even with the new "fat-handler" you can't rename a file from "lower case letters" to "upper case letters" or vice versa, if you try to rename the file it will self-delete

Through user report ntromans made HERE, we found Guru and Crash of the system with some PDF Documents, tests I made with the attached PDF file.

From tests done I found that Guru and Crash were caused by the "freetype2.library" library, from the various versions the only one that works well is the "freetype2.library" included in your ISO "20190301-D4", all the later ones "they all have the same file size" do not work sending in Guru and Crash The system.

Under which circumstance does the rename malfunction?

Are you using Wanderer or Magellan or Dopus4?

Have you tried renaming the file using the shell?
If it works correctly then it isn't fat-handler that's the culprit.

More information may be needed to narrow down the problem.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

No is a serious problem on FAT32

Dopus Magellan => Does not allow renaming "Lowercase/uppercase" (File already exists error)

Shell => Does not allow renaming "Lowercase/uppercase" (File already exists error)

Shell => If you rename File+Icon (Icon is replaced with a project icon)

Dopus4 => Does not allow renaming "Lowercase/uppercase" you get message File already exists, if acceptu the file will self-delete

There are probably many other anomalies, for example many applications, games, do not work when run from FAT32 formatted media, best to avoid testing on this filesystem

deadwood may have done some work on fat-handler so I will co-ordinate with him on that.

I have written my own Disk Image Explorer although in C#.
 So I am very familiar with Fat12/16 & Fat32 filesystems.

It depends on how fat-handler is written but it may be using LFN (long file names). In which case maybe it isn't handling the filenames properly.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

This problem has existed for a long time even on short names, reported several times

As mentioned it is not just a name issue, there are applications and games that do not work when run on FAT32 formatted devices

.... Bad news also for AROS Hosted Linux

Shell => Does not allow renaming "Lowercase/uppercase" (because Object not found)

Dopus4 => Does not allow renaming "Lowercase/uppercase" (Dos Error code 205 Object not found)

Thanks, I will look into that.

FYI, ABIv0, ABIv11 and AxRuntime branches have been updated to build under Ubuntu 22.04/Mint 21

Freetype library needs quite a lot of stack for some fonts. I fixed some of those problems some time ago, not sure if this is already in your branch.

Yes, your fix is already included. What is happening looks like a memory override somewhere. I'm worries that some public structure might have changed size for example between two freetype versions and now memory gets overwritten.

@deadwood
On Wanderer if you configure the "Iconify" button with Zune Prefs, on Wanderer on windows it does not work, while it works fine with System Applications "where the button" "Icoinfy" appears.

[deadwood]

Yes, that's a known issue. Wanderer is missing some implementation.
