This news entry is regarding Scalos, not Scala.

Good to see Scalos is still being updated, although never used it personally, or DOpus for that matter. ClassAction was my favourite fle manager thingy on OS3.9, it rocks .

@dan.hutch

erm.... do you have a freaking clue, of what Scalos is?

@ Scalos author/s... just thanks

I wasn't much of a scalos user, I did check it out for a bit and was fairly happy with it.
Good to see that its being updated and I think I will be looking forward to trying out the alpha version
on Amiga One, hope that goes good.

Hey... nice study project...

But beside that it hasn't got the looks of OS4, outdated icon sets, outdated features; a lot if things are already in OS4, and most important....

.. It's not a STANDARD, so why the hell should we need such a thing???... .

A niche market in a niche market... yeah great!

It supports PNG icons as standard!!! that way you can put the icons you like easily.

I don't agree. I bet it's much more "asyncronous" that standard WB

AmigaOS4 isn't the "standard OS" either... why should we need it?



Would you prefer that he hadn't published an OS4 version???

Having options is good! Instead of bashing a developer who has decided to support OS4 why don't you simply don't post anything if you are not interested on it?

Oppps, got Scalos and something else mixed up (was posting elsewhere about DOpus/file managers) it wasn't what the same thing as what I was thinking of.....

.......I'll go back to sleep now .

@dan.hutch

sorry dan.hutch! it wasn't my intention to be so harsh.

@sananaman

argh!!!

@ Crumb

i have updated my MOS installation yesterday with the new Scalos v41.4.

Theres a problem somewhere (i'm using ScalosPPC since the MOS for PUP release)

Been forced to reinstall the backuped 41.3 (no idea if you are in the Scalos Team)

i guess scalos comes from the days when amiga os 3.1 wasn't updated, and updates was very unlikely.

Hi Scalos team!

I use AIAB on the A1 and Scalos 41.3 works fairly decent. Sorry, but it's
crap in OS4, but that's OK; it's a 68K thing! . Drag & Drop fails often. Radeon?

I'll checkout the the new version! Working without JIT in OS3.1 doesn't sound
too great, but keeping to minmals speeds up thing. Scalos WB isn't all that
bad considering this!

Well, I for one am glad to see another update.

However, I tried updating my AIAB installation (previously using Scalos 41.3) and noticed:

- Drag n Drop completely broken (locks up the system). Try dragging a file into RAM: for example.

- Thumbnails cannot be disabled, regardless of the settings used in the preferences.

That said, it is looking rather lovely when combined with AfA-OS and Zune.

Cheers,
James

Hi Jim,

Glad I made a 41.3 backup! It horibbly slower too; remember I don't have JIT. One of the reasons
for slow down in all the modules that in this one. I stick to r10.5 and Scalos 41.3

I don't spell it "AIAB"; it's "A1AB" -- Amiga in a box in a A1 box! I just posted a
picture in my album at 'JustAmiga' Yayhoo Groups --Dennis' AmigaOne. :)

Far as I'm concerned, 68K stuff is buggy now in OS4. Even Euae and WinUAE are
not on the same page. The hardware, the software is no longer classical Amiga.
End of Bug Report!

Hello, I tried this a little more during the weekend, and it would appear that the updated newiconobject.datatype is to blame for the drag-n-drop problems. Just revert back to the previous version of this file and the lock-ups no longer occur.

Take care,
James
