That's nice to hear! From time to time I've looked at the code and tried to at least add some tracing to find where the "slow parts" are, in order to speed it up.

I currently use it to connect to my debug Amiga, from my X1000. And for that it works really good. But to do real work, its still a bit slow.

If you want to collaborate I'd be willing to give it a try!

Buy the New AOS and get a pack, not only One but another one including beer;)

Does the New Personal Paint have good formats to save and then send to a pc to print as this is the problem but the first One solved?

This is a Goldilocks situation. Some dreams are too small. Some are too big. Some are just right. Photoshop is too big to dream, but it would sure be nice.


Photoshop is one of the worst programs to create art ever, but it is great for effects and to trck an image and has really a superb way to deal with levels of luminosity into images, palettes, curves, levels and other instruments like that.

But sure it is the last software I'd want to see into Amiga. It is a dinosaur consuming memory resources and CPU consuming too, without even doing anything.

We need a paint program powerful and lightweight as really superior Paint Tools SAI.

Thanks. Unfortunately, that package contains a lot of software that I cannot use on my MicroA1.

PPaint saves to range of formats, and always has. PNG or GIF are both available, as are some more obscure ones too.

Thanks for the info. Have the CoverCD version but not the new one.

It's just when used to Deluxe Paint.. Ppaint does load the old work.

These are the winners for me. Tried a load of pc programs and never got the touch.

Like painting a wall with a blindfold for me.

Even the tribute to EA DPaint.

The slow part is the screen scanner. It currently reads the screen bitmap (i.e. the gfx card) using the CPU. Has now been replaced with BtlBitMap to copy the screen to RAM by DMA before starting the scan process. I'm in the middle of work currently though, so difficult for anyone to take over right now.

Also, it always scans the entire screen. It should only scan the area the client can currently see, which may just be a small part. It should also be smarter in detecting change in a window and then just blast copy that window immediately (maybe using jpeg) before falling back to the continuous background scanning.

The code is a mess though. Designed for planar screens and small fixed squares. Need to make that dynamic and clean up the code to only work with hi/true-color screens. Much easier and faster. I'm in the middle of that, which means the code is currently in pieces...

I am dreaming having a final and usable version of Pixel32 (Pixel Image Editor) that was once available for MorphOS too but incomplete, and seeing an AmigaOS version of it too...


http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12

As of today PIE was the only Amiga (limited to MorphOS) software capable to manage HDR files natively.

Please Trevor, development and sells of this program seems stopped and I never heard of Globell online shop (that holds copyrights on P.I.E. resells) to selling it...

Also it seems to me development is stopped (latest news are from 2009)...

Why don't you purchase its sources?

We need an up to date painter program with advanced features such as HDR...

I beg to differ.

SketchBlock has been capable of HDR since it's inception

Currently it can only save to it's native project type, but I recently uploaded a tool to convert openEXR (the industry standard HDR format) to sketchblock.

The tool is optimised for loading OpenEXR files exported by blender, but should work with any EXR file really.

Not sure if this counts, or is already implemented and I missed it, but I'd like:

1 - A software Shutdown feature
2 - An option, much like what Mac has, to update all software on your system

Hi All,

Here is a list of software I dream about for the Amiga.
...
What software do you dream about?



In the face of the unsatisfactory situation regarding printing on the Amiga platform (classic & NG), I'm e.g. dreaming of an update for TurboPrint with support for at least some of the latest printer models.

TurboPrint for Linux is still being actively developed and currently at version 2.40-1. It's printer driver page was last amended on May 26th, 2016, and provides lots of drivers for Brother, Canon, Epson and HP printers.

Guven the great amount of Linux (or Unix) software titles that have been ported to the Amiga in the course of the recent years I really ask myself why noone so far has tried to get the latest "TurboPrint for Linux" printer drivers ported to the Amiga TurboPrint version?

And even if the Linux printer drivers should not be usable for the Amiga version of TurboPrint - why has noone tried to obtain a permission from IrseeSoft to port the latest Linux version incl. drivers to Amiga OS (classic & NG)?

@Dandy

I thought Linux had printer drivers all ready? With the CUPS drivers. For free.

I plugged in my HP once. It was detected over USB. And the driver was set up for me. What more do you need?

I find this attitude a hard to understand: Why does it have to be Amiga OR Windows? Why not Amiga AND Windows?

That's what I do: AmigaOS4 computer + Windows computer. KVM Switch to allow me to use one monitor, keyboard, mouse & speakers.

And to make switching between Amiga & PC easier, I have an FTP server (FileZilla) on my Windows computer & access it from my Amiga using FTP Mount (although with a little bug fixing of the new SMBFS it should be possible to get rid of FTP altogether).

I also use FolderSync2 to allow me to have a duplicate of my data stored on both PC & Amiga (so no need for both computers to be on most of the time, etc).

There's even a utility out there to share clipboard between Amiga & Windows, although I don't use it myself.


No dreaming here, just the joy of using Amiga for what it's good at, and the Windows PC for other stuff. (Well, OK, yes I do dream a little, but then I write the programs I dream about, where possible!...)
