| AmigaKit bought the rights to OctaMed and re-released it with new features. Good on them for that. ImageFX is still around. Pagestream is still unfinished...
What other classic productivity software would you like to see brought back and 'refreshed' if only the original source code could be found and the original owners willing to sell it or give it to someone to refresh? Very hypothetical I know.
I'd choose:
Photogenics
ProVector
Deluxe Music 2 _________________

None in their original form, but several did show a lot of potential which with the right updates could fit nicely into a 2025 workflow:
- ADP
- ImageFX
- Final Writer
- The animation part of Deluxe Paint
- Scenery Animator

| Final Writer - arguably better than M$ Word for quite some time
Storm C - I played around a lot with this IDE, V3 if I remember correctly

IBrowse (which kinda made a come back, but would be cool if it could do real modern internet!)
Blitz Basic / AMOS with Ai to help you easily code, would be cool.
I would say SCALA, but Hollywood / Hollywood Designer feels like spiritual successor.
Dpaint, but I do like PPaint. So again not a big one.
Directory Opus, I mean the last version release for Amiga and slight modded version with Amikit XE, is pretty dam good, but it would be cool to bring over the latest version.
Wordworth, or even any modern office / doc program ported to Amiga would be good. Abiwork wasnt too bad on OS4. Google Doc was even better, but it only worked for a small time on Timberwolf / odyssey bowsers. Last edited by amigang on 20-May-2025 at 12:24 PM.

? IBrowse
Not really maybe OWB is better
? Blitz Basic / AMOS
Not really SDL Basic or something similar, with an option for X-Platform development
? Dpaint, but I do like PPaint.
Not really Any Pixel oriented paint Programm with animation support (lighttable, rotoscope)
? Directory Opus
Not really A file manager that is seamlessly integrated into workbench, generating thumbnails for image and video formats.
? Wordworth
A working version of Finalwriter and a lot of plug ins Last edited by OneTimer1 on 20-May-2025 at 03:26 PM.
