Dock software for Workbench 3.1
« on: December 07, 2012, 07:23:09 PM »
I am currently setting up a compact flash under WinUae in order to use it in a real Amiga 1200. Is there a simple to setup dock program which lets me launch programs quickly once WB3.1 has booted from hdd?

Thanks!

I use ToolManager.

Works great.
I wouldn't call it intuitive...
But it is drag and drop config and once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy.

You could try LaunchPad as well.

I also use ToolManager and it rocks on my custom ClassicWB 3.9 installation on my A600 :)



In case you even need a guide of how to use it, you can check one that I wrote some time ago here:

I've always liked the resource friendly ScreenTab.   http://aminet.net/util/cdity/ScreenTab_3_2.lha

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I tried ScreenTab but although it seems to have installed correctly, nothing happens when I run it. :(

Hmm I installed ToolManager following those instructions, it seemed to have installed fine, but on restart, nothing shows :(

Eeeeeek, help :(

Also, when I tried to run the demonstration, it asked me for System3.1 (???) disk!

Running the Prefs gives me a Program Initialisation Failure error.
