Thank you for the update.

The HTML video works, althought very slow.

I have a problem with the vertical scroll bar. I posted the issue on the os4depot.

Yes "copy n paste" works for me using those key combinations. Booksmarks also work fine.

Have to say on the A1-X1000 it is very speedy and so far quite stable. Well done!

Mind you I am running it on a Radeon HD6850 which is up to 2 x faster than my HD4650 in some graphics operations (according to the gfx benchmarking programs which I tend to ignore). I'm also using the latest RadeonHD drivers (0.46)/

Over the next few days I'll do some comparisons against Firefox on the PC, Mac, and A1-X1000 under various Linux disros.

Update: some ineresting results with the http://html5test.com test. On a quick examination the results are very impressive. However, you know how much I like benchmarks!

Hemm.. did you try RAmiga+V and CTRL+V? does it work from the menu?

I tried RAmiga+V as that's the Amiga way, no didn't try CTRL+V as I don't have a PC nor ever will! I tried using 'paste' from the menu but that didn't work either!

I will try CTRL+V to paste when I get home from work, why did they choose to use that keyboard combination with an Amiga?

CTRL+C is in one case used to break or cancel a command based application from running, but it can also be used to copy text on Windows and Linux, LAMIGA+C and LAMIGA+V make a lot more senesce to me as does not conflict whit other usage, and its Touch typing friendly, and you don’t need two hands on keyboard, like whit the RAmiga keyboard combinations.

I think many of key combinations where choice because they did not wont user to accidently hit reboot, or other combination of keys that might be unwanted.

Key on the keyboard is places according to type writers, so that key won’t jam up.
Really I think one of this brain dead moments or they did not know anything better at time events.

My system has only 256 MB of RAM total. I had to get rid of my background photo and quit AmiDock to free up enough RAM to use Timberwolf. Otherwise there is not enough RAM for saving bookmarks.

This will not be an issue for you guys who have lots of RAM available.

This is what I had to do to use bookmarks on my MicroA1 with 256MB RAM ... 1) CurrentUserProfile folder is stored on an SFS partition 2) Appropriate assign added to user-startup file

What assign did you add?
There is no mention of it in the installation guide.
3) Put random in Devs:DOSDrivers
Quote:

4) Removed my Workbench background photo (using white Workbench screen)

What does this do, and is it required?
Quote:

5) Quit AmiDock after booting before launching Timberwolf

What is the problem with AmiDock & Timberwolf?
I launch Timberwolf from AmiDock.
Maybe this is why I have a GR launching it a second time, without editing the AppDir entry?

Quote:

One bookmark per session. Power off between sessions. Otherwise, the files are overwritten. If I relaunch without power off/on the files are overwritten and the bookmarks are gone.

I will play around with not using AmiDock, and see if I can save single bookmarks

Yes but changing a key qualifier from CTRL to Right-Amiga is hardly rocket science!

Posting from the new Timberwolf beta now! Excellent stuff.. works really well on my XE-G4. I think I even prefer it to MUI-OWB...

Regarding RANDOM device and CurrentUserProfile ...

This part is not in the installation instructions, but is "common knowledge" passed on through some discussions on various sites.

As usual it is "common knowledge" to the ones that know, and news to the rest of us.

The RANDOM device must be mounted in order to use bookmarks.

Timberwolf cannot save bookmarks to a JXFS partition.

Apparently, the CurrentUserProfile folder used by Timberwolf must be stored on an SFS partition, not on a JXFS partition.

Some people have installed Timberwolf on an SFS partition.

My only SFS partition is my AmigaOS4 SYS: partition.

I created a small SFS partition for Timberwolf and it did indeed work from there. However, I had to tweek the system to free up enough RAM to use bookmarks (explained later).

Then I remembered that only the CurrentUserProfile folder had to be on an SFS partition, so I created a folder on my AmigaOS4 SYS: partition and reinstalled Timberwolf to my JXFS partition.

CHANGES TO User-Startup

;BEGIN Timberwolf Beta 4 ... works if RANDOM: is mounted in DEVS:
;and if I have currentuserprofile on my SFS partition SYS:
;and if I have white Workbench background to free up more RAM
;and quit AmiDock
;and power off/on after each session of Timberwolf
if exists DH0:currentuserprofile
assign CURRENTUSER: DH0:currentuserprofile
endif
;END Timberwolf


Regarding TWEEKS to free up RAM (background photo and AmiDock) ...

I have a MicroA1 with 256 MB of RAM. Timberwolf uses alot of RAM just to load.

I found that I had to free up more RAM in order to use bookmarks. I got just enough RAM after I deleted my Workbench photo (if I use a white background or gray background).

Not so sure about AmiDock. There was discussion about AmiDock with TW Beta 3.

I found that Timberwolf works best for me if I quit AmiDock before launching Timberwolf by going to the Timberwolf drawer and clicking the icon.


One final note ...

My system seems to be more stable overall if I am NOT using RANDOM device.

So I moved the RANDOM device back to storage, and use Timberwolf with no bookmarks.

I have restored my Workbench photo and use AmiDock to launch Timberwolf.

I do not get any GR or crashes if I run without RANDOM and I can quit Timberwolf and relaunch without any problems.

Works fine so far, but I cannot use bookmarks because I am not using RANDOM device.


I still use OWB 3.31 and NetSurf and MUI-OWB for most of my browsing.

Having seen my share of generically written portable code, it may be very tricky without affecting a whole lot of other key events and stuff. Should all Ctrl be RAmiga, or on what level do you introduce the concept of Amiga-keys? Should "Firefox" (i.e. the public source code) know about Amiga-keys? Should only the RAmiga+x,c,v be intercepted in a lower level and translated into Ctrl+x,c,v and sent through a backdoor into Timberwolf (which would be a hack).

Without having seen the source I can be pretty sure this has been abstracted enough to make it *possibly* quite difficult to "just change".

For comparison: How do you make a normal Amiga menu case sensitive to it's hotkeys, such that LAmiga+A and LAmiga+a are different?

Wonderful. So nice to have bookmarks working on my SAM460 like they did on the A1 with the earlier releases.

I am having a problem that I didn't have with the previous release, though. All of my launches but one have died after a while, usually in a "Connecting to ..." or "Receiving data from ..." mode, where minutes go by with nothing happening. Requires a reboot; sometimes a push on the reset button.

Once (the last time I launched it) I was able to close it normally: I launched it then quit it immediately. Next time I won't get the "This is embarrassing!" screen that I've had every launch since the first.

I'd have made a smaller donation, but Paypal didn't tell me how much a euro was worth.

Since first posting this, I was forced to relaunch Timberwolf. Attempts to modify something at craigslist with OWB got me "Unable to open 'https://post.craigslist.org/[...]'. Error 56: Failure when receiving data from the peer" (which I was able to copy from OWB but unable to paste into Timberwolf with Ctrl^V so had to type it in). I've been getting a lot of that with OWB, and having to use Timberwold instead -- fortunately that's a lot nicer now!

I had a problem with the scroll bar too. When you release the left mouse button it keeps scrolling like you're still holding the button down.

You don’t get mouse events when mouse is outside of the window, I have the same problem whit Excalibur scroll bar, none have noticed , so you get mouse click event, and not mouse release event, you can always get mouse coordination’s form the window data structure, it’s not easy to get events from input.device because its io / messages, and you can’t patch or hack that easily.

Maybe we should call it a tiny OS bug, but don’t know if has been like this from day one or not.

The release event should have been sent to the same window as click event despite the mouse having moved outside of the window, I wonder how this handled in the OS window scroll bar.

Really? I guess I'd better get it installed on my XE.

I wonder why this announcement for Beta 4 was not submitted as a new article.
