so........is it done yet hehe......no i am just kidding.....though i am corious....what features are planned for the next release?........or not

Hiya!

With any luck a fix to Turboprint And also docs on the thing so people can work out how to use Postscript and the like.

There is no PS dosdriver in the required place, no ghostscript assign so if it works I havnt a clue HOW!?

And without those two things ive no idea how GS could possibly work, even though the prefs for TP have the GS page included in it!!!!

And hopefully the GFX problems will start to be solved too.

- Well I'm waiting for proper web support.
Ok, this a case for Genesi and MorphOS, but it wouls be nice that the webbrowsers would be on the same level as of Mac/PC.
- Ofcourse as Bifford said: proper print-support.
- Simple and good DVD-reading/writing support.

I'll be happy when all this is possible on the Peg

@spidey

for a minute there I thought you were talking about the website! I was like "oh no!" Seriously, it is to my understanding that what you are asking for is being worked on. Let's keep up the discussions though, because you never can tell when someone may pop in and be reminded of something

good to see my old post came back....mine have a way of returning from the grave......

My opinion is thery shouldn't release the next version without :
- a working TurboPrint
- full AmiTCP
- JunGL or TinyGL with software renderer for a programming purpose

i agree, and we do need some form of openGL

See... i don't care about new features yet and only hope for some important bugfixes. And I really hope MOS1.5 will be more a bugfix release than a "we kick someone's ass with heaps of new features, but also introducing a lot of new bugs because that"-release.

Anyway... I'm almost sure that mos1.5 will feature:
- JunGL (AFAIK it's an OpenGL implementation )
- AmiTCP/IP PPC

Just farting in the breeze here but everyone I know who has bought a PC in the last two years, along with everyone I know who wants one, has the ability to swap MP3's, peer to peer, very high on their priority list.
So something along the lines of amster, that works, or soulseek on the PC, would attract more people, IMO.

Also, universal copy and paste would be a great addition. Hell, *any* copy and paste!

Hi targhan,

Your site is very good, how can anybody say otherwise?!

I know of some of the stuff that is being developed, but as you say, it's good to mention it in case somebody has forgotten it

The TinyGL SDK will be available in some days (on MDC probably).
It's much more advanced than minigl and old tinygl (from aminet).
It uses hardware acceleration (no software mode). If someone
needs it now, he can mail me and i will send him an SDK.

ps. hope that bigfoot won't kill me for this;)

Maybe it will not be bigfoot but somebody else :)

Thanks spidey!

Nah, I will just pull out your teeth with a plastic fork ;)

I thing Ambient in 1.5 must be hard improved: most of all to be a serious update we should have "filetypes" (or if you prefer: "DefIcons") implemented (if I double click on a JPG I wanna see Multiview or others show it! If I doubleclick on a LHA archive I wanna see it unpacked or listed!, If I double click on a mp3 I wanna see it played by Kaya or AAmp!) and LISTERS finally completed and working. Personally as Magellan hard-user I can't really be without them, so I have never used Ambient in all these months (I tryed it really many times). With these 2 thing I can finally start to thing to switch from Opus to Ambient.
I will cross my fingers hopeing to see these 2 functions implemented and working in 1.5.
Good work David Gerber!

I don't yet have a Pegasos but i'm FULL of opinions
a copy/paste on MorphOS should be MUCH better than what I have on my linux and windows system. I should be able to have multiple things/files saved in the clipboard - saved from the right mouse-clicking menu. then the paste is copied from the list accessed via the same menu.

i hate only being able to copy one thing at a time. maybe it's possible to do this but my point it's not easy or intuitive. and if MorphOS is better then i should be able to do something like this.

easy for me to talk, i'm not a programmer. i just have all the ideas

Boot without startup? Please tell me how do you imagine that. And what is the point in starting without s-s on MorphOS?

Hi Jacadcaps,

I think what he meant was the ability to completely skip OF waiting. So that rather than waiting for OF to initialize, then waiting for the "press esc to stop boot" delay it would go straight on to booting MOS.

Of course you can set the wait delay to a time amount like 0 or 1 but that doesnt make much sense as changing that delay later would then be a nightmare. I cant see being able to hit ESC to do something when the delay is 0 would be all that easy....

I probably got that wrong, but thats how I read his mail :)

Cecilia, clipboard.device already has 256 units... should be enough :)

If I used RxMUI to write a quick clipboard manager, would anyone use it?

Quote:you don't know me!

ok, that does sound ok.
does this come with the OS? (pardon the silly question, but i'm very new to this MorphOS and basically know nothing - except that it looks really cool and that IFX 4.5 works on it!)

targhan: i'll use anything that works as i described it in my previous post. or if it's better!

@Cecilia

Yes, the OS comes with support for up to 256 clipboard units out of the box. The issue is really whether or not an application can use it or not. Considering the number of legacy applications that are around, it takes some poking around to find out if this feature is supported by the application.

What I was thinking about slapping together (erm coding ) was a simplistic RxMUI (ARexx MUI) commodity that would allow the user to exchange the contents of clipboard-0 with clipboard-?. Basically a "clipboard manager" of sorts. Then again, something like that may already exist!

Unfortunately, what I do wouldn't be exactly like you described... Then again, it would be better than nothing, and it would let folks use multiple clipboard units with applications that do not support it themselves.

thanks for the info, targhan.
the ability to copy/paste is really important in browsers and text editors.
my understanding is that Voyager and a special "notepad" sort of morphOS version has been made. if these programs don't already do this copy/paste between them, then they should.

thanks for letting me (gently) crack my whip.
