Pfff...when I look at hte 68k section, I'll have a lot more software packages that suit most of the tasks - so we/you should think about an "max entry" for every task...

I am sure at some point we will get into a discussion as to what the best application is for each application type. There should really be reviews.
I know there are quite a few apps listed but it is hardly the iPhone app store.

Let me know how to fill these spaces if you can.

@BigBentheAussie

you forgot hd-rec for morphos and 68kk in music/other
you can add yafray for morphos too
you can add sfx and samplemanager to 68k sound editing (both runs on mos, dunno about os4)
kaya and amigaamp for morphos audio playing
goattracker for moprhos trackers
ncftp and ftpmount for morphos ftp (it looks like theres no solution for it now:)
also why forget ami trade center for 68k (runs on os4 and mos)
fxpaint and fxscan exist in morphos native versions (or existed, dunno if they are available or not)
streamdraw for paint / morphos
heck, why not add aweb and sputnik for morphos browsing?:)

you can add a network remote category, including VNC and remote desktop, there are several clients and servers for every os.

os3: amivnc, twinvnc
os4: amivnc,
mos: morphvnc, twinvnc, vncserver, rdesktop
aros: dunno

btw turboprint is commercial on 68k, and on morphos too, it has a licenced version, not the latest afair.

@cha05e90
amplifiler is the name

Added 68k software:
Wordprocess: FinalWriter
Spreadsheet: StarAmPlan, FinalCalc
Database: Datastore, FinalData, AmigaBase
Presentations: Scala
Browsing: Voyager, AWeb, Netsurf
TextEdit: Annotate, GoldED/Cubic, CygnusED, Turbotext
Painting: XiPaint, fxPaint, ImageMasterRT, ArtEffect
3D Render: Reflections/Monzoom, Real 3D, Caligari24
Playing Video: RiVA, MooVID
Editing Video: Mainactor Broadcast
Music Edit: Octamed Soundstudio
Youtube: getVideo
CD burn etc.: MakeCD

AmigaOS 4:

Browsing: Netsurf
Text edit: CygnusEd OS4 native


added hd-rec for morphos and 68k.
added sfx,samplemanager to 68k.
Did not add Kaya to MorphOs. Mind showing me where it is?
Added AmigaAmp to MorphOS
Added AmiTradeCenter to 68k FTP.
Added AWeb and Sputnik
Turboprint is commercial.


did not add:
ClassAction (Can't find it, thought it was a GUI library).
Playing Audio: forgot-the-name-of-the-OS3.9-Audio-player-which-was/is-shareware-available-also (honestly I think we're covered there)
IRC: BlackIRC (honestly I think we're covered there)
Photoretouching: ArtEffect, Photogenics5 as these are full blown image manipulation programs(painting apps), rather than simple photo retouching apps which I am going for.
I already have ArtEffect listed under Painting.
If nothing comes up in the Photo Retouching genre I guess we can push those applications there.
Did not add fxpaint and fxscan in morphos native versions because I want confirmation of availability. I will check.

Will add Remove Desktop, Mathematics, CAD, Drawing categories soon.

Please guys, the point is not to list every piece of software that ever existed, but the best for the job on each platform.
What you would realistically use on each platform.

Yep, understood - but to be honest: Due to the fact, that most AmigaOS software doesn't have the usual Photoshop/Word/etc. feature set you often end in using more that one software for data manipulation.

Quote:
ClassAction (Can't find it, thought it was a GUI library).


You mean "ClassAct", ClassAction is a Reaction/ClassAct based tabbed browsing file manager. My favourite on OS3.9. http://www.martin-elsner.de/text/amcla.html

OS4 has TwinVNC too...

it also runs SFX just fine.

BTW what are the rules as to when a 68k program apears under a PPC OS?

For example you only have Wordworh under 68k when runs fine under OS4 , but you have ImageFX under 68k MOS and OS$ yet it's 68k?

@BigBentheAussie
This is a really nice list! Hope you put it on a web page (with proper tables), and make a news item for it, when you are "finished"

@BigBentheAussie

For OS4 please :

TKPlayer under the playing audio.

I also noticed other things missing, like horny midi sequencer.

Does Cinema4D count, or is that considered 68k that happens to run on OS4?

Cheers

@BigBentheAussie

About MorphOS:
SabreMSN is also available.
VLC should be added to video players. Frogger and AMP2 are also available natively for MorphOS.
Transmission can be added to torrent clients.

Tubexxx should be normalized in your columns. It's sometimes in "streaming video" or "youtube" category, depending on OS.

And Papyrus is indeed a native MUI office for MorphOS, but it was left in a quite unfinished state (many bugs).

sorry pal, still hd-rec: it should be in music edit/other not in sound editing, in fact you got it right in os4 but not with 68k and mos.
also if imagefx and ibrowse is under os4 and morphos coz of ppc extensions then digibooster also should be as theres a native morphos loader for it:) its still the best music creating app for morphos:) (cant wait for v3 from krashan:)

Funnily enough. I was just thinking of doing that before I read this.
I just got an e-mail about a domain name I bought two years ago on the verge of expiration and I had completely forgot about it.
I think it's about time I got a website or two up again.

I'll be getting to the list shortly.

The rules are if it is an OS3 app running via emulation on MorphOS, OS4 or AROS then it is 68k native and goes in the 68k column.
It doesn't matter if it runs fine....that is just a testament to the power of emulation. The elegance and power of the emulation on each system is not what I am debating.....yet.
With ImageFX I am having difficulty discerning its native status for Morphos.
From http://www.novadesign.com/2008/10/imagefx-45-studio-for-amiga.html
Quote:

We've made ImageFX fully compatible with MorphOS. All the PowerStation modules work natively - at speeds far faster than previously possible under Cyberstorm or Blizzard PPC cards. We also have MorphOS 32bit icons courtesy of Andre Siegel!


So, I guess the rule is, that if the application has been significantly enhanced by the developer for a particular system, beyond merely compatability, it might as well be considered native to that system also. In the case of ImageFX, native was mentioned so I assumed there had been a deliberate enhancement of some kind for MorphOS. Let me know if this is not the case.

BTW. To me, and correct me if I am wrong, SFX looks like a 68k native program. http://www.sonicpulse.de/eng/p_sfx_download.html

Nope. 68k native I think.

I must say, as I go around looking at all the websites for all these apps, there is a hell of a lot more things out there than I thought.
Maybe we are not as stuffed on the app front, on any of the Amiga&alike platforms, as we think.
I mean look at this list.... I can pretty much point to anything I may need or want.

Still working on the list. Nearly done.

Added TwinVNC to OS4 as per broadblues.
Added SFX to 68k.
Added Professional Page to 68k DTP.... Is it still available somewhere? I may need to indicate ont he list what is still available somewhere.
I may hyperlink all the apps at some point to where they can be found, either here on a dedicated web page.
Added Professional Draw to 68k Drawing.
Added Deluxe Paint to 68k Painting.
Added Deluxe Music and MusicX to 68k Music Edit Other
Added TKPlayer to OS4... unable to find link.
Added Horny to Music Edit other for 68k and OS4. http://www.inutilis.de/horny/

Added SabreMSN to Instant Messaging on OS3, OS4 and AROS(and MorphOS)....I will assume there is MorphOS port which I can't find a link to.
Added Transmission,VLC,Frogger and AMP2 as native on MorphOS....To much to check right now, so I will have to trust you Fab.
Moved Youtube row up to streaming video.... not sure if there really is a differentiator between the two now.
Added Tubexx where appropriate.

@Fab
I Would like to know honestly if you would recommend to anyone that they run Papyrus Office if it is in an unfinished state and buggy.
I am trying to put down the best of breed available, and not every app ever created.

Actually, I wonder if we should really limit this list to what we would recommend to a noobie to the platforms.
