AROS ABIv0 20190416 Development

[Amiwell]

I am writing from my system where I applied some updates and it works very well certainly we talk about zune class etc...etc ..

Is there any way on Wandere to hide the Phantom Icons?

Basically when you mount an MS-DOS Floppy image with MountDiskImage, in addition to PC0, the same floppy is also mounted as DF0 with a faded icon, this also happens on OS3.x, see screenshot in HERE last post

Just wanted to double check, but is the https://axrt.org/development/AROS-20180423-D2-pc-i386-boot-iso-GCC630.zip iso the one to be using?
There's some more recent isos on the page.
Should a person just use the above iso alone, or should they update with more current versions (ie. theyre smaller, so I assume they might contain fixes).

Thanks.

The link you posted includes the ISO "20180423-D2-pc-i386-boot-iso-GCC630 "which is not the most recent one, you have to locate the most recent one based on the release date.

https://axrt.org/development/

All newer ISO include fixes and updates, but there are no third-party applications and no special configurations, you only find these things on Distros as Icaros o AROS One.

Yeah, I realised there was more recent isos on the download page. That's why I said there's more recent isos on the download page 
Theyre smaller though, so I assumed they just contained the bare minimum with updates and fixes.
I'll just install the iso Ive linked to and then copy over the changes from the most recent minimal iso containing the updates/fixes.

As for distros, theyre not really my thing. I prefer to set my system up myself (there's no distros that have things set up as I like them to be).

Thanks for the response.

Except for the small PATCH archive, all others include a complete ISO.

The ISO "20180423-D2-pc-i386-boot-iso-GCC630" is larger because it includes the complete "Development" package, but it is not the most up-to-date ISO.

Yes creating your own system is always the best choice, but reinventing the wheel takes time and knowledge, there are many things missing in the ISO to make third-party software work properly, so to make it easier perhaps it would be good to study the distribution first and take what interests you most.

My general suggestion is to use only release from here:

https://axrt.org/downloads-aros

On top of that you can apply this patch:

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

Everything that is in /development/ directory or has -Dx- version is ranging from "quite good" to "absolutely broken" and should not be installed for day-to-day use.

On the AROS version of OWB it is possible to enable the "ContextualMenu", basically if I add an item, it is not displayed in the Menu.

With OWB OS4 the "ContextualMenu" works fine

[deadwood]

I don't know - I don't ever recall testing/using that functionality.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

I discovered the problem when I was testing "Aiostreams" scripts, as shown in this video !

deadwood I report a bug in renaming a single Icon without a file or Directory.

Basically if you try to rename an Icon (without a file or directory) on Wanderer the system crashes

[nikos]

Leave out icons on workbench works fine from those I tried except for Shell.
If I try to leave out shell I can not put put it away and after reboot the icon is duplicated on the workbench.
I have to delete System:backdrop to get back to normal.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

yes nikos, precisely, the Shell is an icon "without" reference file here's because you cannot rename it, I was referring to that

With Dopus4 try copying an "any" but "single icon without any reference file or directory," and then try delete it from Wanderer.
 
The problem with "single" (orphan) icons that cannot be deleted from Wandere, I have already made the report to deadwood


Of course from Dopus4 you can rename or delete anything.

On FAT32, on the other hand, you can't even rename a file or folder from Lower Case to Upper Case or vice versa, if you do the file or folder will disappear (self-delete)

[deadwood]

The problems you both report are known issues AFAIK. Wanderer needs a developer who will fix those small problems. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to help setting up development environment and answering questions on AROS codebase.
