Having said all that, a little snapshot icon on the window titlebar would be a superb addition (something for AROS to think about!)
#Amigaos 4.1 iso mega windows
Part of this comes from what now can seem like the rigmarole of snapshotting icons and windows into position. These days, the desktop picture is the biggest distinguisher of one desktop from another – if I powered up my Amiga 500+ it’s totally my desktop. It makes the experience of using an Amiga far more personal and unique than OSes today, IMO. Once you start really caring about your own structure and your own particular workflow, you start laying things out nicely and snapshotting your windows in an almost OCD way. Even on the classic MacOS there seemed to be a greater sense of enforced structure in the visual file manager. The Amiga was more relaxed about this than any other OS I’ve used. Start mixing apps and folders of documents together by function. If you really want to get into the old-school Amiga paradigm, try forgetting all your modern multi-user knowledge about file organisation. Also, when dragging an icon into a folder/drawer, you would instinctively drag it into exactly it’s resting place. It maybe that you, I and/or other users are much less meticulous and fussy about how we organise files in windows than we used to be.
#Amigaos 4.1 iso mega mac
The classic MacOS never had this and my new Mac can’t even remember to open my folders in list view when I specifically tell it to. If during the course of my task I need to move it to the other side of the screen and make it larger, I know that the next time I open it, it’ll be back where I like it. Moving from Amiga to Mac, I was never struck by the superiority of the Finder’s method. I never found snapshotting a problem, and as it didn’t work for you, it’s difficult to form the snapshotting routine that Amiga users had or have. You need to write down on a paper all the settings you change to be able to restore them after your tests. Now do the same with other systems you know. until you restart the system), just press “use”.Īt anytime if you want to restore the settings before you changed them, you can do so.Īnd when you are finally happy with your changes, just press “save”. If you want to use these settings only in the current session (i.e.

If you change many settings and you want to test them before saving them on disk, just click “test”. You need to tell the system that you want to remember the icon position when *you* decide it is correct and should be remembered.Īnother place where you find the feeling “the users keeps control of things” is in preference programs (the system settings). Would you like the system to remember their position? And I really mean, do you want the system to decide things for you? Let’s say you move some icons by mistake.
#Amigaos 4.1 iso mega software
Yes, back in the mid to late 90s i still used an Amiga, but moved away from it partly due to frustration at being nickle and dimed at every point… They even charged money for a tcp stack and some pretty mediocre web browsers, it was cheaper to emulate a mac (even assuming you bought a legit mac rom set) and run netscape, which was much better than any browser the amiga had.Īlso, most of the software required a fairly heavy (by amiga standards) third party gui toolkit that was crippled unless you paid for it… Although I am partial to the old workbench, the new icons/window borders seem too “candyfied” ugh…. That being said, I still long for the days when I used my first amiga. If anything, you can always count on the Amiga to find new and creative ways to shoot itself on the foot. avi files, I am glad to see they Amiga community is being faithful to the spirit of the platform, both the technically brilliant implementations and in the brain dead marketing decisions which eventually turned it into a marginal platform. Given that they want the few users they have left to pay extra for the “honor” of being able to play.
