Title: New AFA OS 3.92.1
Post by: unusedunused on February 19, 2006, 06:07:14 PM
Fasticon support. Icon display of newicons/OS3.5/OS3.9 icons with lots colors is ca 5* faster.
new afaprefs Prefs Program. Here you can choose safer exec and Fasticon on or off.

picture_datatype fixed so that Thumb from aminet works and hopefully other programs.please report if you know of a program now that doesn't  work(scalos about pic and OS3.9 background picture scale to screen i know that it not work)

AROS multiview compiled as multiview_afa.Because AROS multiview miss some features(no default setting save) no fullscreen you can choose if thats usefull for you.Or if you are a Coder you can enhance it.source is too in

New Features are the zoom picture features and zoom picture size to window size.This work only with new picture datatype
   
Here you can donwload it

Note: apdf2.2 have a Bug that it trash memory.when you close it AFA exec notice that and bring a error requester
"corrupt memory list detectet in Freemem"
apdf overwrite illegal during run 8 bytes of memory
     
      You can continue with same risc of crash as without AFA when use MCP or other GURU tools and click continue
      Hopeful this Bug can fix in Apdf.

5* faster than what? Faster than a previous version of AFA, or faster than the AmigaOS functions? And would PowerIcons be any faster with this?

5* faster than AmigaOS.Try out Kens Icons or the abondom Icons from OS4 depot
In generell All icons with lots colors are faster.I use photogenics 2 feature that create for every
image a 256 color newicon(same as OS3.9 icon).I have lots of picturesm so i can measure that exact.
 
powericons show them in Fullcolor as before and speedup is a little greater than 5* because the icons
are with powericons in truecolor format for blit and without it the icons must fit 256 color palette
of WB screen.PNG icons are not speedup and also in scalos is no speedup.
Scalos use own routines that are fast.
speedup is in workbench Os3.1 Os3.5 OS3.9 and diropus magellan
