NAIL that RAM: Icon !?!
« on: December 12, 2006, 04:38:24 AM »
This is the silliest problem ever posted, but it bothers me ever since the 1st time I used the WB : How can I keep my RAM: Icon at the top-left, w/o it being occasionnaly kicked out (well, down) by a CD or a FD0: Icon !?! Rhaa ! It just drives me ***** mad ! :crazy:

How can I be sure than it won't even move by a pixel ?

Thank you for stopping whatever you're doing to solve this very important software issue.

Snapshot the icon where you want, then copy it someplace on your harddrive.
for example:

copy Ram:Disk.info S:Ram.info

 and then add a line to your user-startup

copy s:Ram.info Ram:Disk.info

I believe this can also be accomplished by replacing the def_RAMDISK icon in ENVARC:sys/.  I'm pretty sure this is how I'm doing it on my systems, but I cannot confirm right now as things are still a mess from the move :-(

This only works with OS3.5 and above. And it has to be def_RAM.info. With OS3.9 you can also make ram:disk.info a soft link pointing to envarc:sys/def_ram.info, then you can snapshot the icon as any other one.

Bye,
Thomas

Scalos also offers similar functionality.

The old 'copy S:RAM.info RAM:disk.info' trick went out with MagicWB! ;)

I use the method described on the OS3.9 FAQ, and it works great - it's the softlink method Thomas mentioned.

I used the MakeLink from the Visage archive.

Or you could install MagicWorkbench.
 That's a crappy piece of software, but works :-D

MagicWB uses "copy s:ram.info ram:disk.info", no magic in there.

MgaicWB does not contain a single piece of software, except MWB-Deamon which can easily be replaced by FullPalette. So what is crappy about it ?
