#3434282 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3434282&group_id=43586&atid=2501660)
Details:
When files are being created/deleted from root to any volume, Wanderer's desktop keeps refreshing. Wanderer should only refresh the desktop when tracked icons change.

#3434110 (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3434110&group_id=43586&atid=2501660)
Details:
In Wanderer in enhance mode only the window opened on root of volume will get autorefresh. In classic mode, every window gets autorefreshed.
Steps:
a) open RAM: in Wanderer
b) open shell, go to RAM:, type echo "" > test
c) window refreshes, file is visible
d) go to T in the same Wanderer window
e) in shell: cd T, echo "" > test
f) wanderer window does not refresh
Repeat the same in Classic mode - it refreshes in both cases.

I'm just the PR guy. IE AROS' hacky sack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacky_Sack)
-
Yer bein' a little too modest there, Tim.
One of the reasons why I support MorphOS is because, as a _professionally supported_ AmigaOS, it's better cleaned and polished. (That, and unlike the current options for AmigaOS 4.1, I can afford it.) ;)
This is where AROS, as Open Source, is a little lacking, so I applaud you for the effort of trying to clean it up a little bit. AROS needs this. "No Schedule and Rocking" is both a good and bad thing where AROS is concerned. :)

Details:
"Do not build SFSDefrag because SFS defragmentation is not recommended."
Ref:
http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=60813#forumpost60813
The boot block is not destroyed. The part of GRUB contained in the bootblock is looking for the rest of GRUB at the wrong disk location, because SFSDefrag has moved the GRUB files.
To fix this, SFSDefrag could possibly be altered to call Install-grub2-pc-i386 at the end of its operations.
Alternatively, maybe SFSDefrag should not be included in AROS, since it has been suggested that SFS may not be completely stable on AROS, even without running defrag tools that could make things worse.

#3016027 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3016027&group_id=43586&atid=2501660)
Details:
On FileRequester, when saving a file for example a download from OWB, "File" field is overwritten when browsing directories/files using mouse wheel.
(Ex: If you want to save a file and the filename is added in
requester window "File" field by your program, then if you scroll
directories with mouse wheel, the filename will be replaced with
the directories your scrolling over)
- related to the above issue, if you scroll folders/files with keyboard's arrow-keys
the directories selected are not higlighted, only files are, and again directories and files browsed overwrites the "File" field

#3016022 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3016022&group_id=43586&atid=2501660)
Details:
The current way to copy multiple files in Wanderer is a bit "strange" and un-intuitive:
Steps needed to copy multiple files:
1. Select all files normally with mouse
2. Keep pressing SHIFT key and click on one of the files, it will be deselected
3. Still keeping SHIFT pressed, click on the file you just deselected and keeping mouse button pushed drag-n-drop your files in the destination window.
The same thing should be done just selecting multiple files with a selection-rectangle and then drag-n-dropping them in destination window clicking on one of the selected files.

To manually work around this one could use the command "refresh" in the Wanderer "window" menu.

Details:
http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=61581#forumpost61581
Target OS: Icaros Desktop 1.3.2
Action(s): Open edit and screengrabber, open filerequester and press
parent button many times...
Fault(s): The slash character is appended at the volume edit-field
again and again.
Reproducable: yes, 100%
Suggestion: Stop adding slashes when volume-field is at root or empty
when parent-button is pressed
Remark: Original AOS 3.0 didn't have this behaviour. Faulty behaviour
is in requester-code and is not app-related. And why are slashed added
into the volumebox in the first place
