Boing Bag 1 for AmigaOS3.9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Content of the update Internet software The user interface of GenesisPrefs has been converted to ReAction! AWeb SE documentation has been updated with a page about plugins. Harddisk usage HDToolBox now avoids listing some more non hard-disk controller-related devices in its device selection window. It also sports some bug fixes. IoTools also sports some bug fixes and workarounds. Multimedia AMPlifier sports some new and updated ARexx commands. Enhanced shell, as well as new and updated shell commands. ViNCEd allows selection of a single word by double-clicking it. It supports logging with an CSI sequence for expert users. It also contains some bug fixes. WBRun allows starting applications in Workbench mode from a shell window or script. SetEnv sports a "SAVE" option; if specified, it not only copies the environment to "ENV:" but also to "ENVARC:". MakeDir has an "ALL" option to create complete directory paths. A nasty bug in LoadResource has been fixed, and MakeLink has been rewritten to be more usable. Workbench and Workbench tools AsyncWB adds asynchronous copying and delete functionality to Workbench. In addition, the "New drawer" and "Rename" requesters no longer block simultaneous access to Workbench. UnArc now allows selection of individual files to be unarchived. Find now supports saving its window size and position, and supports drawers with underscores in their name. In addition, it supports adding search paths easily via drag&drop or pull-down menu. RAWBInfo has also been enhanced: A mouseclick on a tooltype while holding down the SHIFT key activates or deactivates it. Dragging tooltypes from one information window to another while holding down the SHIFT key adds them instead of replacing them. BenchTrash supports asynchronous operation and can hook into the Workbench deletion process. AnimatedIcon has been fixed and once again works correctly. ReAction classes The ReAction classes, responsible for displaying ReAction user interfaces, have been completely reworked. As a result, they now sport an optimized look, many bug fixes, and have some new features. Various fixes Font cache will be enabled after Boing Bag installation. xadmaster no longer replaces spaces with underscores when unpacking archives. "rexxmathlib.library" is now included. And much more... Contribution A big thank you goes to all contributors. For further contributions, connect to "ftp.amiga.com" and browse the "OS3.9"-directory.
