Speaking of bounties, for those who want to see this prosper on AROS, please check out the Wanderer Update bounty here:

http://power2people.org/projects/profile/70


Many of the "broken" features in the AROS port only do not work because of some of Wanderer's current limitations.

As for me, I totally want to see Dopus as fully featured on AROS as possible as I have always used it on my higher end Amigas and still feel it stomps all all desktops from KDE, Gnome, Windows Shell, to the OS X, and the basic Amiga work bench.

On the other hand, Wanderer would not be so bad if this bounty is fulfilled, perhaps not far off from what MorphOS has got going on.
Ahem, I don't know where do you get your information from, but what you say is simply not true. None of Magellan's features are broken because Wanderer's limitations. There is a single (!) feature (Tools menu) which depends on the AppMenu support, which happens to be covered by the Wanderer bounty, but is a workbench.library limitation. I'm not stopping anybody from donating to the Wanderer bounty, if you want to see it improved please do so, but know that it's not related to Directory Opus Magellan II on AROS in any shape or form.

This is just like television, only you can see much further.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the dragging feature was also broken in older AROS distros like the last IcarOS to release, and that the fix for that was in the latest AROS nightly, but not existent in any of the distros yet?

Of course I should have mentioned that there is also a Magellan bounty (which you picked up) that people can still dontate to. Sorry about that.
I've explained in many threads that that one was an intiution.library issue. It's up to the AROS developers what fixes they backport to what branch.

That single feature is a big deal.  Also if it's covered in the wanderer bounty it is related. It may not be directly part of wanderer but it is related to the bounty.
I did not claim that AppMenu support is not important, but that the Wanderer bounty will not directly benefit Magellan apart from a single feature. Again, if you miss that feature, or want Wanderer to be improved (which I definitely do), donate to the bounty. But know that it's about Wanderer and workbench.library, and not related to further development of Magellan.
