Workbench Auto Cleanup

[SidVicious]

Everytime i have to use Windows>Cleanup becous the icons overlaping each other everytime i start workbench or a new drawer. Is it possible to fix this problem?

After you clean up do a window/snapshot/all from the menu at the top, if any still show out of position they require an icon file, which can be made from any file managing program (how to do that varies depending on the program!)

With Workbench 3.x an icon is automatically created when snapshot is
made, what about 2.x etc.?

Why do old Amiga500 disks have a .info file in a drawer. On Workbench
3.x the drawer is given it's own icon?

Snapshot? The problem is that when is that when i start Workbench the icons is "everywhere", so i have to use Window>Cleanup. Then it okey...for a while...if i close the map (drawer?) that i'm inside and open it again or, restart Workbench, my icons is "everywhere" again and i have too use cleanup again. =(

Only if doing them one at time ... at least thats my experience :-?

In WB3.1 there's a disk.info file for the drive icon, that resides in the drive - maybe 1.3 just did everything that way in the file structure.  Not sure about WB1.3 as it's been a loong time since I used that! I remember having an empty drawer to copy to make new ones though ...

Do a cleanup /then/ a snapshot and it'll remember where you put the icons ;-)

Hold down the right mouse button then:

Windows->View By  ->Icon
Windows->Show     ->Only Icons
Windows->Cleanup
Windows->Snapshot ->All

That should do the trick. If the RAM icon won't stay put then edit
your S/User-Startup with the following...

Copy Workbench:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sys/Disk.info Ram:Disk.info

(Then put a copy of the Ram icon in your Env-Archive directory on your
boot disk - use Directory Opus to copy .info files).
