Leaving out icons problem...

[Anonymous MOS]

What would cause the 'Leave Out' command not to work?

Thanks,
Steve

Which version of the OS are you running?

[Bamiga2002]

Forget the standard "leave out" -option, use IconLink instead, it's good.

[murple]

That IconLink sounds pretty useful, thanks.

[Anonymous MOS]

I'm using WB3.1

Are they actually real genuine icons, as in a file on disk called "something.info" or are they pseudo-icons created by the Show All Files menu option?

[Anonymous MOS]

Real .info icons.  Also, I'm using Scalos V1.2 and have it set as a Backdrop, if that matters.

Thanks, I've downloaded that and am going to check it out.  :-)

As you are not using Workbench itself, I can offer no more help.

[Vulture]

try to snapshot the icon after leaving it out and see if that helps.

[Anonymous MOS]

Already tried to snapshot, but alas, after I rebooted, they were back in the usual drawer.

Probably a Scalos bug.

[Anonymous MOS]

Oh, icky.  It requires 3.5 or above.  I only have 3.1

I found out that it has something to do with the drawers being on my 'Work:' partition.  None of the drawers on it can be 'left out'...

The drawers in my 'System:' partition work fine.  They can all be 'left out'.

Baffled,
Steve :-?

Try it on a normal Workbench without Scalos.  If it still doesn't work then open a shell and type 'info'.  Check what status is shown for work:  Read/Write, Read Only, Unvalidated, Validating etc.  If it is Read/Write then type 'list work:.backdrop'.  Make sure the file has the r (read) w (write) and d (delete) bits set.
