Scalos - General

[AMIGASYSTEM]

In my opinion besides testing following deadwood's directions is correct, but testing other ways is also important because it might uncover other bugs, this has taught me my experience.

Olaf, moving a drawer does not imply the operation, I also did a direct boot of Scalos "without moving or or add anything" without Wanderer and found no difference, same operation same bugs.

@deadwood
I confirm the bug reported by magorium on both Native AROS and Hosted Windows

@magorium

Thanks for the report

[deadwood]

@AMIGASYSTEM

Think about it this way: every minute I spend trying to figure out differences in people's configurations is a minute I do not spend on actually fixing problems.

You are right, Scalos should work with different setups. According to me, with the amount of existing problems, it is still more efficient to use a standardized configuration to spot and solve them. I'd like to ask that if you report a problem you also mention whether you were able to reproduce it on standardized configuration - that's all.

@Deadwood

+1

Otherwise only unproductive and in worst case emotional discussions start that nobody help. Testing it step by step

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Sorry deadwood maybe my English is not understandable, I do the tests as you may have noticed "first" with your configuration, and then for confirmation, and on my behalf, i test them "also" with all my configurations, this is to have a broader view.

Now it is clear - thank you.

@deadwood:
Again not sure if this is what falls into your category.

I list the first crash because it might perhaps helps but i can't reproduce that all the time.

The steps i took to invoke the crash:

• menu/scalos prefs
• Scalos_prefs
• From the list I select every item (top to bottom) and watch the tab page appear
• in between I resized the window, one time
• then end up at the list: Filetypes
• Press def_project button on the right with left mouse button

And that repeats itself indefinitely.

edit: the last item with reproduction steps, always seem to cause another type of crash. Sometimes it reboots AROS, sometimes it gets stuck (no pres more log possible) but it always crashes one way or another for me.


Also (but i probably need to take a picture for that) the same preferences window show some widget at the top right directly next to the tab-header text (upper header with name of the selected item from the list) for certain pages (i believe 3 or 4 specific pages). It has a up-down widget and what seems to be a very tiny part of a slider (as if the header text does not fit inside it's (parent) area.).

You can delete your posts about my help, thank you:

I was able to create an executable script to run AROSBootstrap.

 @deadwood

Even on Linux Hosted the Buttons are corrupted or missing, so "only" on AROS x86 Native they work fine

[paolone]

@all


Not to be negative, but on AROS we already have Magellan, which is open source and much more advanced/configurable feature-wise than ScalOS. It would be a GREAT desktop replacement/file manager for any modern operating system, if it only was zunified and had a graphic overhaul.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Yes true, although for me Wandeer being native if improved would be the best choice, both Scalos and Magellan will always clash with Wanderer and there will always be small conflicts.

it cannot be zunified because it implements its own system (what has both advantages and disadvantages). Regarding porting it to Linux we should before ask gpsoft if they are ok with it. It was permitted to port it to amiga platforms but if it would be ported to Linux it would be first time available on a mainstream platform. Officially commercial they only support Windows so perhaps they are ok with it but it should be asked.

Other than that I like (as known) Magellan. It is very powerful and extremely configurable. But Scalos also has advantages. It is in some areas even more configurable and it is more doing it "the amiga way" whereas Magellan often is a kind of blackbox replacing many system routines. For many hardcore amigans Scalos propably is more appealing. Wanderer is more or less a 3.1 replacement (concept and functionality).

@deadwood:
As promised some pictures.

The first picture shows the gadget in the tab header.

It is present for me on the following tabs:
- truetype fonts
- menu
- pattern
- popup menu
- palette
- filetypes

The second picture also shows a gadget that does not seem to belong and that is on the misc tab, vertical middle, right side.
