Os 3.2 development preview

@paul1981:

Can you give the LoadWB command a NOWBSTARTUP option?

In OS4, for comparison, this is achieved by holding down a Shift or an Alt key during startup. Maybe something similar could be done in 3.2? (To make life that bit easier for anyone using both ;-))

Is that the same "hack" which is enabled in the OS4 Classic port by creating a Kickstart module called AtapiIsMajik (or something like that)?

@LiveForIt:

This sound like a really bad idea, so everyone that enable that will have there programs crashing when adding WFLG_ICONIFY

If I understand it correctly, it is the programmer who requests the new gadget in his setup code by means of WFLG_ICONIFY.

The same programmer who then of course makes his code ready to receive the new CODE=1 value and react accordingly.

All other programs do not request the new feature and will therefore only receive the already known IDCMP_CLOSEWINDOW value (when the window close gadget is used).

That sounds to me like a pretty solid design.

@Thomas Richter:

IPrefs which lists now the titles of the windows that block the workbench from re-opening

Oh, sweet! Wonder why nobody has thought of doing this before. Guess we just got immune to this old annoyance over the decades.

(Off to write an enhancement BZ for OS4 ;-)).

It seems that Danish has more complicated rules for case-insensitive string comparison as it has a separate function for it, and does not use the generic ANSI comparison for it. I do not know why.

I believe it has to do with where our national letters æøå and their upper case equivalents ÆØÅ are in the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) codeset, which makes it necessary to be more explicit when defining the case conversions and the sorting rules.

It should be easy for anyone to update or make locales that are missing, without having to enter legal contracts.

So why don't you?

Note that he wrote "it should be", not "it is".

I'm guessing the problem is in the "having to enter legal contracts".
