Title: Productivity on the A600GS and A1200NG
Post by: AmigaOldskooler on September 27, 2025, 02:43:07 PM
Hi everyone,

With the updates I'm finding the A1200NG more and more useful. I can also do work related tasks on the machine now, which is very nice. The in-built web browser has opened up many possibilities in this respect. 8)

Today I transferred a spreadsheet I use for inventory. I tried a beta version of Ignition (I use a newer version of Ignition on AmigaOS 4) which is pretty old, but it loaded up the spreadsheet from my Sam without problems, and I could continue to work on it on the A1200NG. So that works.

Does anyone know of a functional spreadsheet/program like Ignition that will work on AmiBench? I will have a look around to see what I can find, but info is very welcome. :)

Also, I often edit images (mostly cut and crop). Any suggestions for a good one here that will work on AmiBench?

Thought I'd post this here in case others are looking for such programs as well.

Thanks in advance for help!

We want to continue to improve AmiBench - a port of AmiPDF is planned.

For image cut and crop features would you want something like Multiviewer ported over?

That sounds great! Oh yes, Multiviewer would be excellent on AmiBench! :D Cheers!

What does AmiPDF has to do with a Spreadsheet program ?

And why port the outdated AmiPDF ? RNOPDF is working fine on AmiBench and it´s free on aminet ...

I was writing about productivity in general, so AmiPDF is on-topic in relation to this.

Ok, got it, but again, RNOPDF is working great on AmiBench, so why bother with AmiPDF ... hey, every software is a plus for AmiBench but I would like to have some more native apps running on AmiBench/AROS instead of using Linux libs like in AmiBrowser and PlayVideo to achieve that goal ...
