i can search if you want

Papio would like to be a member of the MorphOS Team

[EDIT] Maybe with "eject" and "date"?

When i double click on a XAD archive, buttons of path of the archive disappears... i understand why...

I think it will be fine to keep them to extract files to parent easiest.

Possibility to clone a file with a different name in contextual menu.

It's quite easy to add the functionality by mime/filetype configuration.

I don't remember if I've made these myself originally or got from somewhere else and modified a bit later, but add these to the SYS:Prefs/Ambient/filetypes/internal/x-morphos-globalaction-file file (or edit via Ambient->Mime->Internal settings):
Code:

And to duplicate directories, edit the SYS:Prefs/Ambient/filetypes/internal/x-morphos-globalaction-directory file:
Code:

Thanks a lot jPV!

i will add them to the next Chrysalis pack.

With the latest PanelApp alpha I'd say its time to get concrete here.

Again assuming worst (best?) case and a mid 2025 MorphOS 3.20 release this should be in there:
- add an "Ambient.library" that will give access to prefs files (currently in PanelApp), bookmarks, open listers and so on
- make Prefspanes work as external classes and move at least the Panel one to it
- expand AppWindow/AppMessage so dragging can be monitored by non Ambient windows

Depending one timing this may be in 3.20 or get pushed to 3.22 (but will be done one way or the other):
- move all other Prefspanes into external classes
- allow subclassing Listers
- make search results a proper Lister (subclass)

Everything else mentioned here is considered optional and might or might not be addessed later on.

Thanks for these updates Kronos.

Other suggestion for Ambient : show resolution of a picture in bubble info

In Shell, seems CTRL + C, CTRL + X, CTRL + V don't work, only via contextual menu (copy, paste).

If possible to add them, it will be usefull i think.

The normal rcommand+c/x/v works in the Shell, just like on Amiga, MorphOS, and Mac everywhere usually. For some reason someone has decided to configure inconsistent Windows-alike shortcuts (ctrl) to Ambient, which causes confusion.

Actually rcommand+c/x/v works in Ambient too, despite what you have configured in the Ambient Hotkeys settings, but there seems to be a small illogigal issue with it.. it doesn't paste to the current directory, but to a selected directory...

In MUI settings you can have two shortcuts for the same operation, so both cmd+c/x/v and ctrl+c/x/v are supported there. Maybe Ambient and Shell settings should support two shortcuts too, to get it work in both ways.


Quote:
You can configure them in the Shell (MUIConsole) prefs yourself, if you want to change it from command to control.

Thanks jPV for all this informations!

I have just tested and rcmd+c rcmd+v work but rcmd + x dont work in shell (there is no entry in the menu and in available functions in prefs.

@Kronos: It will be fine to have the same hotkeys for clipboard in Ambient and shell.

[EDIT] i have i bizarre thing with Mixer, when i connect an headphones to mini jack and play sound, if i move the balance, the volume down automaticaly... (PowerMac G5)

Ah right. As the Shell isn't a text editor and most of the seen text isn't editable even though it's copyable, it's probably been easiest to disable cutting completely.

Quote:
Yeah, happens on my Mac mini with external speakers too... but not with Powerbooks's internal speakers.

In shell CTRL-C, CTRL-D and so on are already reserved for sending signals to the active tasks.

This behavior even predate the clipboard existence.

On linux you need to add the shift key to the mix or use the menu. So shift-ctrl-c is used to copy text.

This cannot be fixed without breaking the behavior on one or the other side.

Right, somehow forgot that. So, it would be better just to use the traditional Cmd/Amiga qualifier everywhere for consistency. Too bad M$ has teached some bad habits to people :)

Quote:

Left CMD and Right CMD will be nice for left-handed and right-handed

Add possibility to close "Ambient Output Window" with ESCAPE key will be fine too.

Quote:
It's a standard console output window and I don't think it can be made to close with any custom key presses.

You can close it with whatever keyboard shortcut you have defined in MorphOS Preferences -> IControl -> Active Window: Close. If you have set esc to close it, then it'll be closed with the esc key :)

Thanks a lot jPV! Why it's not activated by default? It will be better no?

Quote:
Yeah... I think "MUI Preferences -> Keyboard -> Windows -> Close" is set to the Esc key by default to close any MUI windows with the Esc key, so it would also be the same to activate the generic IControl window close to Esc too? Maybe ASiegel should configure the MorphOS defaults to this?

BTW. I have configured my MUI and MorphOS settings to close windows with the Ctrl-Esc instead, then I can avoid accidental window closes if I try to press the Esc key to abort something etc...

Yes, Ctrl-Esc will be better to close volontary programs instead only Esc...
