Workbench: Icons moving around

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.

The ones with icon files will stay where to snapshot them. The ones without icons won't. What version of AmigaOS are you using?

The only one I can't seem to remember how to keep in position is the CD/DVD icon that appears when a disk is inserted. Floppies are easy as it saves the position information back to the disk icon but CD/DVDs are read only. I seem to remember something about a default icon somewhere but that was with AsimCDFS.

Oooops, missed the sig - I have two little guys rampaging my office right now so it's a madhouse. I can barely,,,,,,,, type anything.

If you have a bunch of drawers that you want to stay put and be viewable all the time, I'd create .info files for each of them. It's as easy as taking the drawer icon that you like and copying it to match the name of the folder.

thisisthefoldername
thisisthefoldername.info

Then use snaphot all, when you have the window/disk laid out like you like it. I believe that I used to have a utility to do this way back in the day that I either got from Fred Fish or off aminet.

Otherwise, use SIDII or DirOpus to copy and rename the drawer icons.
