Now it is time for a file depot for hollywood applets, sources.
I'm not sure what would be the best way, but surely would be a good move.

Aminet would not be a good place because Hollywood is really multiplatform.

So i can now load a presentation i made on my Amiga and play it on my XP netbook?

Yes, as long as you saved your presentation as "Hollywood Applet" (.hwa)

I've only tried the Amiga 68k and PPC version of the player and noticed some issue:

Pressing Amiga-Enter to go full screen makes the window disappear here and no new screen opens for it. I then have to use Ranger to send it a Ctrl-C to quit when started from WB.
Does it work for anyone? Maybe it's just my beta OS4 or some settings that's borked on my end

Also when I iconify the window with Amiga-H the applet keeps running in the background, IMHO it should probably pause unless it's something which would be expected to keep running like a music player or irc client.
If there isn't one already, maybe a flag could be added to scripts to make them pause when the window is inactive and/or iconified.

You don't need to use Ranger for this. Use the Break command in shell. You can find the process number easily with the Status command.

It is entirely up to the script which can be notify even the iconify action. The example applets just example applets, nothing more.

If started from CLI yes, which is why I wrote "when started from WB" as in that case it doesn't show up in the output of Status.
One could also use Marcin's "SetSignal" from CLI to send Ctrl-C but it's a bit more tedious as the spelling of the process name has to be exact.

Good to know. I haven't had much time yet to play with Hollywood, I still have to read the docs and figure out what kind of application to write that would be worth making for multiple platforms.

You are right. I was a bit misguided here, because starting the scripts from editor it is always shown up in status.

Anything new is worth for our Amigas! :)
