I am working on the next version of AROS Vision. The big change will be replacing Wanderer with Opus Magellan (the newest version in development) and all a lot faster. I am total excited about Magellan with all the features and options to customize it (I only say "file type sniffer" ). Magellan will become the new standard for Amiga-Desktop not only on the AROS Distributions (personal view) but also on all other platforms. Thanx to everyone.

\o/ It's been standard for me since '98 :) I only say "inline editing" (if we can't pick 100 features) ;)

@jPV

You were obviously ahead of the time

It will help all platforms. And now it is not only possible to remove bugs but also add features. I knew it is good when the first discussions about a bounty started but not how good.

@OlafS25

I've also been using it since Magellan came out and I cannot use AmigaOS without it since I feel almost mutilated not having it present.
I long to have it as a WB-Replacement for AROS in general which means that I can use that system more than today.

Ambient mimics most of the stuff I love with Magellan so it's not so crucial on my main machine though =)

@olaf
where i get the binaries from? i offer testing bot on aros68k and on 3.1, as you know.

In many ways DOpus is what makes Amiga a nice OS. I bought DOpus 5 many years ago, still have the manual. In some ways I always loved DOpus 4, but looking forward to play with DOpus 5 megallan again.

What new features you think about?

Support for OS features introduced after last public Magellan version?

@Darek

Here is small list of things.

File names longer the 32 chars.
Correct filesize above 2Gbytes/4Gbytes.
Display PNG icons / OS4 icons correct.
More colors on toolbars.

That module doesn't make a job?

I think that covers free disk space bigger than 4 GB, but I´am not Opus5 user.


There was no Amiga filesystem able to use files larger than 4 GB back then (like today SFS2 or JXFS).

That Diskinfo Module only affects to one "Disk Information" window AFAIK. Pretty useless patch IMHO (edit: but of course it makes that window working, which is good thing). At least I don't use that window ever... it just shows disk type, handler, state, free, used and total (in graphical pie chart).

What I use more to see that same info are listers in name mode and their status lines. That patch doesn't help there at all.

Disk space info in lister title rolls over at 4GB, as well as file/directory sizes on lister itself. Status bar which shows amount of selected files and used space rolls over at 2GB. And progress bar of file copying doesn't work if copying larger than 1GB files I think (it still copies them, but doesn't show progress). Device List is probably limited to 4GB too. And probably some other places which I don't remember just now.

These don't stop you doing things, but would be nice to be fixed showing correct values. I've used some workarounds when handling big dirs.. for example configured dopus to show dir sizes optionally with DirSize program etc.

And while fixing things... "Workbench" type actions don't work in Function Editor under MorphOS. You'll have to use "AmigaDOS" with wbrun command instead. These kind of small things would be nice to get fixed.

"use"? Perhaps I've been misinformed, but doesn't this have to do with how a program is written?

For example IBrowse download counter will roll over at 2 gig.
And MPlayer (last reaction version) would fail to recognize any file over 2 gig barrier.

How can you even store such big file without suitable filesystem?

Both actually, the file system needs to support fies larger than 2gb to start with, other wise files > 2Gb can't exist, then the application needs to support them too.

Under AmigaOS SFS2 and JXFS both support large files but FFS2 and SFS don;t (might be wrong about the last one( sfs))

Well, in the case of MPlayer I had 4 people test with files over the 2 gig barrier. OS4.0 and OS4.1 and various file systems. All failed.
I was under the impression that was because it used a 32 bit API, but that's not my field.

Fat95 or whatever you like to call it on memory sticks and sd cards etc works fine with files over 2 and 4 GB, my NAS has loads of DVD Iso's (like Mindcandy 1 and 2 dvd's)and they break that 4GB limit but i can still open them and unpack them and so on, i can even mount them directly in diskimage and view the files in dvplay and mplayer on the fly..

so doesn't this mean something like..support is there but the software ain't?.

AmigaOS4.1 here.
