OMG! The peanut gallery stirring up the post again.

Let me guess, the people that are bent out of shape don;t even own a 600GS or 1200NG, they just decided to look at a pdf and interject their opion.

The trolls really need to bounce.

Have you considered the network connection as an issue? If it's wi-fi connected are you able to try a wired connection, or hot spotting off a phone?

Did you get any further reply by emailing them about the lack of Advanced option?

RNOEffects 2.1 released:

- Added a new view mode to display images at their actual resolution in a scrollable window area
- Graphical displays are hidden during window resizing, which improves speed and flexibility on systems that resize windows with full contents
- Added the "Palette editor" tool for modifying, setting, or removing palettes
- Whole directories can be added into the batch conversion list with the Add button or just drag'n'drop from OS windows
- Batch resizing can keep the aspect ratio of an original image
- Added an option to disable redrawing during a batch conversion to speed up the process on lower end setups
- Added a progress gauge in the batch conversion window
- Zoom level can be changed in the Pixel Editor
- Pixels can't be drawn "out-of-bounds" in the Pixel Editor window
- Palette images are converted to RGB images only when needed or requested
- Added a setting to reload saved images back into the editor to reflect changes caused by any image conversion process during saving
- Added an option to convert RGB images to palette images with Quantize effect
- Window title indicates if an image is an (A)RGB or Palette image
- Almost all effects work with palette images now, though some options may not work exactly as with RGB images
- The Clear option detects the image colour format
- The Color Picker tool shows the palette pen alongside the RGB values
- Brush and text drawing can be locked to borders/corners/centre, which makes it easier to add watermarks, etc. to varying image dimensions
- Setting co-ordinates for the Draw effect by mouse over the image can be constrained vertically or horizontally by pressing Shift or Ctrl keys
- The "j" key swaps main and buffer images (as used in DPaint and PPaint)
- Added presets for Amiga WB 1.x, 2.x, Rebel, and PeterK/IconLib palettes
- Added presets for resolutions on Resize and Crop windows, the last applied resolution is shown as the first item in the preset list
- Width and height values can be swapped in Resize and Crop windows
- A cropped image can be copied to the internal buffer instead of applying the effect to the current image
- Buffer changes are refreshed on effects that use the buffer image
- Color Picker and Area Selector tools broke some effects like elliptical crop
- Transparency level can be set on the Background effect
- Improved error handling
- Other minor fixes and changes

Hi folks,

I have an A600GS that i haven’t played with much.

I finally wanted to spend some serious time with it, but have not been able to get the firmware updated.

I am trying to go from 46.1.805 to the currently available 46.2.1367.

I am using the Check Update and Install Update buttons on the A600GS AmiSphere Profile menu page.

The updater runs, and at different times gives me different errors.

Errors I have seen so far include:

- At Step 6 (fetching scummvm.deb):
An error occurred: Error fetching file scummvm.deb
Expected 127017448 bytes got 36 bytes.

- At Step 5 (fetching libcef.deb):
An error occurred: std::bad_alloc

- At Step 4 (fetching avcodec.lhapps):
An error occurred: basic_string::_M_create

- At Step 3 (fetching programs.lhapps):
An error occurred: basic_string::M_create
or
An error occured: Error fetching file programs.lhapps, expected 75038581 bytes, got 36 bytesz

I have run the updater dozens of times. Sometimes powering off in between tries. On different days. Every time it seems to fail at a different spot.

Email support suggest I use “Advanced” updater and go one step at a time. But my firmware version does not have an Advanced item or option anywhere in the A600GS interface or in AmiBench.

I am at a loss. Any suggestions welcome.
