OnyxSoft releases four updates of software!

Annotate, WiiLoader, GummiSurf and ZoomIT


Updated programs:

Annotate v2.6.4 - (OS3,OS4,MOS) A very comprehensive text editor with a lot of functions. Ported to AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS! Added a Find next change/Find previous change function to the Search menu. Fixed copying of a line to the find or replace field with a vertical selection. And other minor fixing..

WiiLoader v1.2 - (MOS,OS4) WiiLoader is a utility to load .DOL and .ELF-files over network to the Homebrew Channel. Now works with HBC 1.05 and later. AppIcon / AppWindow functionality (drag'n'dropable). Made the program singletasking to be able to "wake it" if iconified by start it twice. New icons made by Martin 'Mason' Merz added.

GummiSurf v1.4 - (MOS,OS4) GummiSurf is a companion tool for the download managers like Charon, and built-in managers in IBrowse, Voyager and AWeb. Added AmigaOS3 binaries. Support for OWB (MorphOS) and NetSurf (OS4). Changed the default URL to a working one =)

ZoomIT v1.1 - (MOS,AROS,OS3,OS4) Magnifying glass program using MUI. Fixed the borderless window function. Now includes locale support (and a swedish catalog). Added Crosshair option. Added Mouse coordinate and RGB-Value options. Borderless windows are now also draggable by simply pressing anywhere on them.

    Thanks =)

    I just noted that the "press release" was somewhat rushed out so we missed that WiiLoader also comes with a AROS-binary
    and GummiSurf with a 68k AOS one =)

    And to tokai, sorry about the MOS part that wasn't intentionally made ;-P

    I've not yet found any advantages of ZoomIt over Zoom delivered with MorphOS...

    They are pretty similar...
    But, you can use the wheel mouse on ZoomIT while having the window active and pointing it to whatever you want.
    This need that you de-select the mousepointer functionalty in IControl (which I personaly never use) =)

    And the second difference is that you can make the window borderless which can be useful incase you want it to "blend" in with the rest of the panels etc. in your system =)

    You can also change the refreshrate manually, I think this is automatic calculated or fixed in the systems Zoom.
    Not sure if my way is better, but if you use it constantly you can save some CPU-cycles on a lower refresh-rate =)

    This how it looks like at my desktop : http://twitpic.com/k6s7g

    Well, ZoomIT is more configurable, zooming by mousewheel is nice. It eats much more CPU-cycles than Zoom though, even with low refreshrates. Ah, Zoom also has borderless feature :).

    The Annotate editor looks very interesting. Unfortunately, the default color choice for syntax highlight is not usable (it includes gray text on gray background, for example) and the config menu option does nothing on my installation, so no way to change it for me.

    That's highly unfortunately that your pens are pretty similar.
    We are currently working on making it MUI'ified since the current version uses ClassAct/ReAction and unfortunately with
    the free public CA-classes from Aminet is not really optimal for Annotate and the latest RA-classes ain't so good either since the window.class is incompatible with our system. So a mixture with New RA-classes with the exception of window.class (which can be taken from the old CA-classes) is working pretty well atm.

    But you can change the pen's..
    If you look at the pens at Config/Appearance you'll see the available pens... And the first one is numered #1 and the second 2 etc..

    And when you've found the colour you want for a special text or background you can simple take not of the color number and edit the file in ENV/ENVARC called Annotate.xml
    Here you'll see text like :

    <C_BG>2</C_BG>
    <C_TEXT>1</C_TEXT>

    Which is BackGround uses pen #2 and Text color uses pen #1 etc..

    The same goes for the syntax-file which is placed where the annotate editor is.
