Well, the check for the libraries is not very smart.
Also the port name is not SHOWGIRLS.1 anymore (changing a port name is bad idea anyway but my objection was ignored in 2018).

Thanks polluks for your answer

Somebody to correct the script please ?

Changeing portname to SHOWCASE.1 does'nt solve the problem: Macro ShowGREXX.rexx 'Artithmetic conversion error line 8'

Line 8 is simply "call HandleApp", I don't see any artithmetic at all.
What happens if you type "ts" before "rx sgr/ShowGRexx.rexx"?

Hi Amigaharry2,

thanks for your return

i have changed ShowGirl path to ShowCase path and seems work...

I have updated the script and changed his name to ShowCrexx:

Fine. Changing an internal name because of PC is crazy IMHO.
Hopefully nobody changes "xadmaster.library" because of racism.

I consider this a bug. There should be a compatibility arexx port so that existing scripts wouldn't need updating.

Following behavior now:

Starting from Ambient:

ShowCRexx opens window, a pic can be dropped in. Clicking double Pic-name (or once and button "start") loads the pic into seperate window and gives Error Invalid argumentation to function: line 8

Starting from Shell rx ShowCRexx.rexx does the same,but with no Error. The converted (50%size) pic is shown in seperate window, but not stored anywhere (should be in RAM, or?). Shell gives following information:

Ram Disk:ShowCRexx> rx ShowCRexx.rexx
DROPLIST0 Download:b2,jpg
[CLI 7]
ram:heightwidth Deleted
oto sort Sliders(%)
+++ Error 18 in line 333: Invalid argument to function
+++ Error 18 in line 276: Invalid argument to function
+++ Error 18 in line 24: Invalid argument to function
+++ Error 18 in line 8: Invalid argument to function
Command returned 10/18: <This space intentionally left blank!>

Whats wrong?

Quickly looking at the script it doesn't seem to handle spaces in filenames at all. Did you try to load pictures from the "Ram Disk:" or something like that? Maybe it'd work if loaded from HD paths...

Yes, did it also from RAM: , but no luck......

@Amigaharry2: the save path is in the GUI (under start button)

I ha ve some problems with some picture too 'Artithmetic conversion error line 8' but wit h others picture that work. I don't understand why....

Because the script always wants to remove a slash and the error happens if there is no slash at all, adding this line should help
Code:
And this way rgetsize works with spaces

Thanks polluks for your answer, unfortunaly doesn't work here with your changes...

Could you send me a corrected script please ?
