It has become very difficult over the past two years to both receive feedback from the Amiga users for whom we are spending our time on making AmigaOS 3.2 and to provide feedback in turn to them. And that's the main issue sadly.īut (sorry!) the reason why this forum thread came to happen is that we, as the people involved in the AmigaOS 3.2 work, have a very peculiar agenda. We cannot have a honest, civil, adult conversation here if people keep telling you to "shut up and don't discuss that".
You make it seem like the whole community and especially the devs are being held hostage, which I think is a fair representation, and if that's the case, it needs to stop. I disagree in that they cannot change it. multi document tabbed interface in TextEdit If people have further wishes or ideas I'd like to hear them so if times allow it can be done (no more highlighters in this release though)Īnd there is also still known bugs from earlier versions that will most likely not be fixed in this release, but naturally isn't forgotten either. The new TextEdit application uses this gadget, and thus gains all of the above but also uses some of the gadget's new frameworks to provide some nice new features: In short it does like you expect of a modern editor (and it is still usable on a basic 68000) support for TABs as TABs and not just converted to spaces framework for doing incremental search and highlighting all hits both line wrapping and endless lines possible cursor is an I beam and it blinks to make it easier to spot a framework for applications to do syntax highlighting much improved and endless amount of undo redo history After you have selected you can click inside and then drag-move the text elsewhere in the document. (shift acts as a selection modifier when you click with mouse or use cursor keys) extended keyboard support (like page up and down for keyboards that have those keys) scrollwheel mouse support (also horizontally if your mouse supports it) In list form the texteditor.gadget has recieved the following fixes and new features: But TextEdit has a few more tricks up it's sleeve. A lot of the features I've done will be available in EditPad and other places it is used. In 3.9 it is housed in EditPad, but for 3.2 I've also created a whole new editor called TextEdit. It is almost a complete texteditor in a single gadget. The class I've been mostly concentrating on is the texteditor.gadget. In 3.2 we have the reaction classes, and we as a group have been working hard on polishing and bugfixing them. And I'd like to talk about some of the new stuff I've been working on. And ReAction is just the tip of the iceberg. The test mode option in the ScreenMode Prefs Editor, which is codeĪlso the on-going development of AmigaOS 3.2 contains much more fruits The overhaul of the vice which is in a much better working The Edit command is a complete backport from OS4. The MultiView utility got several fixes and learned a few new tricks The asl.library got a couple of nice features and many bugfixes that The asynchronous cd-rom filesystem which supported UDF between other Routine for HAM an EHB animations to standard modes on the fly. The animation datatype that got some optimisations and a convertion Lot of valuable enhancements that we have already seen materialized Not only we shared code, but there are more than a couple ofĭevelopers that work on both OSes simultaneously.Īnd the results of this continued cooperation has provided us with a Mundane things about our hobby and passion.ĭid you know that we got a lot of cooperation from the OS4 guys?Īs weird as it may sound to some, a lot of good fellowship hasīeen happening between us, the AmigaOS 68k developers, and the Lets have a civil conversation on technical, and perhaps much more Topics, please go somewhere else and create your own thread, do not Than yours, lawsuit wars, companies and source model. Toxic repetitive rants polluting threads about my option is better We are amiga fans too, and much like you, we also had enough of these Tell you, but more importantly, there is a lot we need to learn and My idea is to simply invite you to this talk, since we have a lot to Is required for the constant improvement we aim for our beloved OS. We don't want to lose the feedback loop that Us, AmigaOS 68k developers, and you, the user.įor us, developers, it is important to get your ideas and opinions I believe we need to establish a two way communication channel between
