| ASL! We are one step closer to the Amiga Style Guide feel! Yes ASL does have its detractors, but it is definitely a native AmigaOS tool rather than a ported requester. _________________ I sold my SAM460ex lite... waiting for money to buy a Raspberry Pi... or a Classic A1000 with Buffee... or an A1222... and OS4.3 FE update 11

| Great to see this update, and some "Amiga-ising" of the browser. Indeed, ASL has room for improvement, but by using it, Timberwolf will automatically take advantage of an upgraded ASL system without any changes.
Personally I think ASL requesters are great  _________________ RobTheNerd.com | InstallerGen | SMBMounter | Atoms-X

Having used OSX requesters and Windows 3.1-XP3 requesters, I also think ASL is great  _________________ I sold my SAM460ex lite... waiting for money to buy a Raspberry Pi... or a Classic A1000 with Buffee... or an A1222... and OS4.3 FE update 11

Just downloaded and installed, seems a bit quicker but when I select 'Bookmarks' and click on a link, nothing happens, anyone else experience the same? _________________ SAM 460 with 2GB or RAM, 1000GB HD, 4 port SATA, DVDRW drive and Radeon HD 4650 GFX card.

| First post from the new Timberwolf! :D Thanx for the quick update!
It feels a lot more useable now!
Edit: Could you please implement shift+backspace + shift+del to delete text strings in the url dialog etc? =) When i am in front of an amiga i do that all the time! Can't help it. ;)
Edit: Found a bug that you probably know about already, but the first downloaded file doesn't show up in the download manager. Also, downloading to ram disk: doesn't work... probably due the space in "ram disk:"?
I already like timberwolf better than OWB. OWB stalls when i enter a typo in the url field, Timberwolf doesn't, and yes, i do those typos a lot. :D Last edited by spotUP on 28-Mar-2012 at 07:21 PM. Last edited by spotUP on 28-Mar-2012 at 06:59 PM.

| On Linux side path are something like C:/my download/. On AmigaOS, paths are like Ram Disk: or DH1:. They don't have the "/ "after the ":".
With Timberwolf, you can't for the moment, download a file and save it at the root of the destination disk. But if you choose a drawer it will work!

| Hmmm... It looks like the instructions in the readme are slightly wrong... The fontconfig cache setup instructions say to execute the line
fc-cache -c -f
Whereas it should be
fc-cache -r -f
as it is in the readme from the first beta version. Only a small thing, and probably won't affect anyone if they've already run the command for the first beta version... _________________ RobTheNerd.com | InstallerGen | SMBMounter | Atoms-X

I do it all the time on my PC as well... and then curse when it doesn't work like on my Amiga.  |

Do you mean Alt+backspace, etc? The Amiga standard is Ctrl- for characters, Alt- for words and Shift- to start or end of the line or page. _________________ cheers tony

| Yeah, me too - I'd list it as another one of those small reasons that I prefer working on an Amiga, up there with stay-in-front windows and multiple screens. It makes a lot of sense to me, shift+left goes to the start of the line, shift+right goes to the end. Shift+backspace deletes to the start of the line, shift+delete deletes to the end and so on... _________________ RobTheNerd.com | InstallerGen | SMBMounter | Atoms-X

On a parallel universe, maybe. On ours, linux paths are something like
/home/user /bin /mnt/device/
and there is NO initial volume descriptor with double dots anywhere. Maybe you've been fooled by MS/DOS-Windows ones, which are in the form
volume letter:\path\ |

| Getting there.
It would still be nice to cut and paste URLs which it seems not possible to do at the moment.
RA C, RA X, and RA V are standard shortcuts that expected in all Amiga applications. |

That's only because OWB for OS4 was built with a non threaded CURL. Besides this stalling would only occur in particular cases, too, unless your DNS server is really weird. :) |
