Something that personally annoys me in Workbench is that it requires .info file to display an icon and determine which program to use to open a target file. I always found the Windows way of doing more natural; that is that file extensions are used to determine the type of file.

However I am really intrested to know what others thing about it and if anyone favours the use of .info files over the use of file extentions.


You have seriously got to be kidding. You obviously haven`t used an Amiga very much. Windows icons are useless to the extreme and give very little control. If there is one thing I hate about Windows its the lack of functionality and customisation of the icon. The Amiga gives you so many options in respect of both the look and functionality of the icon. Thank goodness for the info file. It is so important to the way the Amiga functions.
