Poll : Which naming scheme do you prefer for official AmigaOS 4.x-software components?
Most/all software components should begin with the "Ami"-prefix - it looks really cool
No software components at all should begin with the "Ami"-prefix - it doesn't look professional

Well as I aint got a scooby who "Rigo" is and wot he wrote, then give me his email and I'll tell him... must be a rubbish name if I've never heard of it (or him)...

I'm sure that will encourage him to continue programming for OS4. I'm always amazed at people who badmouth programmers that devote countless hours to provide them with "FREE" software. Before you mention that you paid for OS4, I will point out that AmiUpdate has been available as a free program before being added to OS4. How will you feel if someone emails you and tells you that your name is "rubbish". I'm not sure who is more childish; you or the person who dared you to send such an email. I double-dog-dare both of you to be civilized adults and appreciate the work being done to improve OS4.

@petah
this poll(note not subject) is a farce.
I ask you if your occupation is journalist.
your poll options are lacking, and the ones that are there are carefully crafted to represent imo whether they agree with you or not , not the full range of opinions or views on the subject.
I encourage you to think this through again and start a poll that isnt so narrow.you havent thought this one through, I mean there isnt even an option for pancakes! :D

I think petah thought the os4 team created AmiUpdate, when Rigo just allowed his program to become a part of os4.

Regardless, options missing on the POLL, making it impossible to answer for some of us atleast.

Don't care what it's called. Instead of controversy, this should be a non-troversy.

You can't take Franko seriously on that post you are commenting on as all he was referring to was the fact that as he is not an active OS4.x user (yet) he wouldn't know any issues or devs pertaining to it.
That being said he could have phrased it better but we all know that political correctness is not his thing

Btw, we all love you Rigo

@Petah

This poll is a failure.

FAIL #1: No option for "It depends."

FAIL #2: No option for "I don't give a flying scooby one way or the other."


NEW POLL
Should Petah be banned from creating new polls in the future?
Yes
No
Probably
Possibly
It depends
I don't give a flying scooby one way or the other

The Ami-prefix...

In most cases I don't care, in some cases I think it' s overused, and in this case the name "AmiUpdate" is just fine.

All user(s) should respect all coder(s) its not easy to setup something up like this.

I for one don't like to many pre-fix ami,which can be confusing when viewing workbench with too many ami, but I do believe OS4.x is also about configuration,so if you don't like the name it may be possible for the user to change the name. Please correct me if im wrong.

I do also believe the normal update pack should also be available,but its not clear if this will still be available along with the new update system.

It may be a good idea if the new update system can check for damaged system files as this maybe some the cause of some users computer not working correctly.
