Workbench: Icons moving around

[Hodgkinson]

Hi all,
This is probably a really simple question :-D  , but when I "Clean up" a drawer, how can I get the icons to stay where they are? When I re-open the drawer, everything's moved around again. I've messed about with snapshot/update etc and I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Ideas?

 :crazy: Neither seem to work. The icons have moved around afterwards, at least to a certain extent.

And another simple question or two, whats the "leave out" and "put away" buttons do and, what happens if you drag a drawer onto the workbench?

These are all probably newbie questions 'cause im learning Amigas in reverse...

Ah ha. Ta for the info. Will go and try it out :crazy:

Yep, im using show all files. And im pretty sure that most of the drawers have their own icon files. Cleanup/snapshot still doesn't seem to remember the exact icon locations. Stuff still moves around afterwards.

EDIT: Just tried it out again. It seems to be somthing to do with long drawer/file name - Drawers with long names move out of alignment after a cleanup/snapshot.

See the sig ;-)

Virtually all the drawers have icons - Most if not all created via Dopus.

I doubt that the file names are that long, but I'll go and check. Thanks for the advice.

(Heh, 30 character limit - The joys of pulling files from a PC over a network and getting covered in "File not found" errors :-) )

It's better than 8.3...

Hell yeah :-D . And they said in the DOS guides that 8.3 was more than enough to name a file. Duh. :insane:

Anyway, I've just been and checked. Turns out (Doh) that half of the drawers diddn't have icon files. I've been running with "show all" selected and i've never noticed the lack of icons.

Adding icons seems to of pretty well sorted out the problem.

PS. Any ideas how to apply an icon set to drawers and files, without using MUI? Would it be a case of manually swapping each icon?

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.
