    Hi,
    Because of a electrical problem which destroyed a mac mini(not only) we are looking for a tester.

    The latest version allows to purchase apps via voucher codes and includes the downloadmanager and the "my apps" section. Everything else is still blocked.

    The mission is to find situations where it crashes. A log-file is created in the background.

    Registering is now possible from client.
    Morphos version is untested.

    If you like to run it in a smaller window or maybe with boarders, please check the prefs folder.If you delete global.config and rename global.config.bak to global.config, you will have it the way i showed it in the videos. 
    Global.config is editable in every text editor and you can define things like boarders, size and fx.
    The first time a second window opens, please keep it open, it waits until you logged in the first time. 

    The dlm exe is the downloadmanager. It is configurable for itself. www.indiego-gaming.com/marketplace

    A new version is available for MorphOS. I can't test it because I have no MOS machine yet.

    http://aeros-os.org/guistore/MorphOS.zip

    :: CHANGELOG ::
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    *** Global components ***
    - libServer : Started a refactoring process to optimize code, trap all
    possible errors and simplify code maintenance, functions and
    methods involved.
    This library is used by all clients (GUI and Text) and all Igo
    utilities.
    - libGUI : Added a new requester that works without blocking the program
    flow, it features a body area whit scrollable content for long
    text and messages. It can be used with the mouse or with the
    keyboard. Keyboard keys depends on the requester layout and the
    configured controls of the application, default config uses the
    arrow key to hilight the button and the <enter> key to select
    it.
    To scroll the body content the user can use the PGUP and PGDOWN
    to scroll throught pages or can use the mouse with the
    following combinations:
    - Mouse wheel : Scroll text line by line
    - Mouse wheel + Right Shift : Scroll text page by page
    - Mouse wheel + Right Control : Scroll to the Top/Bottom

    PGUP/PGDOWN/RIGHTSHIFT/RIGHTCONTROL are actually hardcoded.

    *** General changes ***
    - Log files :
    - Now the application will save two log files, one for the current session
    and one for the previous session to allowing users to send log files
    after a severe program crash.
    - Now the FIPC messages have been switched off because the system seems
    quiet stable, log files will be shorter and the application (including
    the download manager) should run faster.
    - Error trapping :
    - The program will try to catch critical errors suggesting the user to fill
    a bug report and avoiding program crashes.

    * Catalogue search :
    - Now the "search application" button is active, clicking on it a filter
    screen will be opened, available search fields are:
    - platform
    - category
    - keyword
    - price range (from/to)
    Starting the search process the user will be able to browse search results.
    The platform filter is shared with the one used in the AppStore screen.

    * Voucher codes : Fixed a bug. Now the client should answer correctly for a
    correct code used.

    * Catalogue Browser : Fixed the interface title, when goin' back to a previous
    level the title wasn't updated correctly.
    Translated missing gatalogue categories.

    * Catalogue Platform Filter : Fixed a bug showed when hitting the ESC key
    during the platform selection, in this interface
    the ESC key has been disabled.
    * Your Profile :
    - Added "Change password" button to change the logged in user's password,
    there is also a switch to make passwords visible as typed instead of
    showing asterisks.
    - Added "Change mail" button to change the logged in user's email.
    - Added "Submit bug report" button to allow users to send bug reports they
    also have ability to attach the current log file or the previous session's
    one.
    - Added "Terms & Conditions" button to review the terms and conditions
    accepted during the first run.
    Accepting again will return to the previous interface while declining the
    terms the program will quit.

    * Login process : After a Login the purchased apps cache will be forced to
    refresh to avoid using the cache of a previous logged user.

    * Login interface : Above the <Register> button has been added a switch to let
    the user choice if he wants visible passwords or not.
    If the switch is active the password in the password
    requesters will be shown as typed instead to show
    asterisks.

    * Terms and Conditions :
    This screen will be showed if no user has logged to the store at least once,
    so it will be showed at first run or if, after the first run the user quits
    the application without loggin in.
    - ACCEPT : Will load the Login screen
    - DECLINE : Will quit the application
    The text is downloaded from the web server but if internet is not available
    or the computer is disconnected a local copy will be showed.

    * Revocation :
    Every time the user buy something the revocation text will be showed and the
    user must accept it to continue with the buy process.

    * Change Log :
    This screen will be showed if no user has logged to the store at least once,
    so it will be showed at first run or if, after the first run the user quits
    the application without loggin in.

    * DownloadManager :
    Now the download manager will be autostarted AFTER the user have logged in,
    this resolves two problems:
    - User confusion when the download manager is started for the first time.
    - The download manager will use always the account of the currently logged in
    user unless started standalone.

    Yep, just launch it and try to login.
    Check browsing. And maybe the search function.

    Yes, you can choose them for yourself if you click on the register button.
    The username and password will be used for amicloud as well. (IndieGO-ID)

    [Edit] I like the idea and the potential, but here is some input:

    1. You need an instant shutdown button. Having to manouver from one menu to the next to close the app is annoying. And some places doesn't have any close button, like registration.

    2. It looks very unlike Amiga, and much like Linux. It's a little off putting. How about a MUI like appearance?

    3. I tried to download One Must Fall 2097 and it just went 100% CPU load without downloading the file. I had to exit the program before that was solved.

    Hi,

    didn't it open a second app after Login? It should open the downloadmanager.
    The executable dlm. You could also run this exe to check if One must fall appeared there.
    I will check if something is wrong with the onemustfall data on the server which could cause the 100% load.

    The GUI is not amigalike because i aim in the moment to a mediacenter and console like system (yet).

    I can open up the Server api(it is documented), so someone else can make a mui client.

    About a global quit button you are right, it is missing. Meanwhile you could also edit the prefs file in an editor and enable window decoration.

    Alternatively you can press ctrl-c to close it.

    The downloadmanager should be iconified automatically after Login to the Server.

    EDIT:
    OneMustfall download is working here.
    It maybe it is a bug in the morphOS build or that you didn't recognize the download manager or that it didn't iconify and was hidden by the Appstore so you could not see it.

    It did open a download manager. But I didn't do anything with it. I just played with the GUI. Clicking download did start a jump from 60% to 100% and back again without end.

    On slow machines you can follow this to reduce CPU load up to 50%
    http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=770055&postcount=7

    The dlm uses chunked downloads and verifies every packet this causes a bit extra work but allows to resume downloads at any time

    @phoenixconsole

    I'll try that, even though my machine is a G5 @ 2.7 GHz. The fastest there is ;-)

    The downloader is running in a separate window (which is automatically iconified). Downloads are handled in background.
    Are you 100% sure it did nothing?

    EDIT:
    I checked and it works. ATR demo is only 400KB in size so it is download in 1 or <1secs. Finished downloads are removed from the download manager que-list...

    Maybe we change this so it will stay in the list as finished...

    Typos will be corrected later : )


    As promised here is a first guide for developers/content creators
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/izhvedqpky5pkbo/IndieGO-dev-guide.pdf

    Please check especially supported filetypes and that a price of 100 means 1€... this is important ; )

    Ohh i forgot:
    Music, Movies and Magazines are "Platforms" by our definitions.
    So if you like to upload music choose "Music" as platform.
    This is important for future "3rd-party"/or own clients focused on music /magazines and movies.

    Für den direkten Download, ja. Ohne diese Ergänzung wird in Browsern, die es unterstützen, das PDF direkt zur Anzeige geöffnet. OWB gehört leider nicht dazu; man kann dort aber oben rechts auf der (fast) leeren Dropbox-Seite auf "Download" -> "Direkter Download" klicken.

    Hi, to increase the download speed by factor 4 you can edit the app-dlm.prefs file in a text editor.
    Change the chunk size value from 64 to 256.
    You can try 128, 256, 512 and so on. For me 256 is fine and reaches my DSL-limit.

    The next release will have this done by default.
    Also it will come with window boarders, so you can move both windows (app-store and Downloadmanager) around.

    Meanwhile we are in the last steps to release a first "usable" Amicloud client.
    amicloud.jpg

    Amicloud is no client for dropbox. We will provide own storage located in germany.
