Is there a click-to-front type utility for OS3.9 that actually works OK?
« on: December 18, 2006, 09:47:44 PM »
In my search for a cdity that actually allows you to do a single click on a background window (either border or body) to bring it on top, I tried many from aminet (some actually did nothing on 3.9), and only found really working on AOS3.9 the "WindowToFront" one.... but even that, after some time stops to work?!!
I was wondering what people use for that purpose on 3.9 setups?

Similar behavior from all window-to-front commodities happened here too. On my system, any time I popped up a MUI help bubble, window-to-front utilities would stop responding. The real culprit for me was MagicMenu. When I killed that, ClickToFront, the plain vanilla commodity, became very reliable.

I couldn't find a decent replacement. After trying a lot of different options, I opted ultimately for functionality over eye candy.

Single click?  Double click to front is one my favorite things about Amiga.  I have tried for years to find something that did this in Windows XP.   :-)

Ioannina is the head city of Hepirus, it is 350km away from Thessaloniky, geographically is near to Albania... the albanian border is 50-60km from here... look it here:



yeah, single mouse click is better, not 2! lol

You might want to try a MCP. It's possible to configure it for the singleclick.

Ah, set the icon to run from shell, not WB.
Then all is a go.

 :-D


Edit:

And on plain old AOS 3.1 there is no option to run from shell. There is a QUALIFIER=LEFT ALT in the Tool Types, just delete this and it starts to work.
