Personal Paint 7.1 for AmigaOS 4.0

[XDelusion]

If they want to integrate backwards comptability with old Amiga software, I think one thing they out to think about is adding new features to the File info, for example, if you have an ADF file, and you click on it, it will know to launch up an (invisble) session of UAE, which will auto load into it's own window, I.E. you click on a ADF of Shadow Of The Beast 3, and it loads. But then there are compatability issues to think about, and so you should then be able to right click on the ADF file to goto its info, and set the UAE parameters from with there, close it, and launch and all is well...

 Of course there would have to be a standard default so you don't have to do this every time. Something like a stock Amiga 500 with 1Mb chip RAM or something.

Well, it's good news, anyway.  Even if it's "just" a port.  I hope they do some enhancements to it though to make it more of a useful modern tool.  Of course, sometimes even the simplest of tools is all you need to create something really quick.

:-D  Very good news.

Having been a software developer for more than 14 years now (mostly C/C++), and having seen projects through from concept to release, sure I could do it, but I doubt I'll be working on this port. I've got enough work on my plate.

I doubt Fleecy will port any of it either. I'm not sure of his experience in actual coding, though I know he has done a bit of VP (AmigaDE/Anywhere) coding.

There are other personnel working for Amiga, Inc in various capacities. No, I am not at liberty to discuss who and how.

As for Hyperion, it's possible and they could do it but I haven't heard anything to support that notion. Don't you think Hyperion's guys are busy enough with AmigaOS 4.0?:-)

Well good luck and congrats on getting the deal
arranged. PPaint was one of the only apps I still
used on my old 1200.

Agree! Thanks A inc. Personal Paint is a good program, as i've say some days before when i read the MorphOS port news, i was hoping in a OS4 port...... great it is true!

I'm very exited about it, and also the chipset emulataion is a great news!

Really good news, cheers.  :-)

Good News! I still "floppy" some graghics back to the A2000, to work on in ImageFX, in TVPaint, or in PPaint. I wonder how Screen Resolutions (in PPaint) will be handled? . . . . Maybe just in Window sizing?

Once ImageFX & TVPaint are ALSO running on OS4 it will be so much easier.

"If they want to integrate backwards comptability with old Amiga software, I think one thing they out to think about is adding new features to the File info"

If you want to pass information from the icon to UAE (or any application), isn't this what tooltypes are for?

ImageFX, Cringe winge groan

What Kermit needs to do is rewrite the CRAP!!!
So it is coded properly.
I purchased a new copy at Amiwest 2003, Installed onto a CLEAN 3.9 install. Nothing but 3.9
Bingo NONFUNCTIONING 3.9 OS.
I have purchased EVERY version of imageFX all with the same results worked with the current version of the OS maybe! Would not work in conjunction with other programs installed. New version of OS tits up wait for new version of IMAGEFX. I give up no program is worth this hassle.

BTW I found the problem that kept OS 3.9 from booting. ImageFX loaded a new bezel.gadget
replaced it with one from 3.9 all was well.
Still don't know why it KO'd Warp 3D
Don't care broke CD.

Reinstalled OS with the vow to never ever try to install that garbage again.

Actually I personally never really liked Personal paint. I thought it never held a candle to TV paint. Which I had purchased first and later purchased PPaint. But PPaint never really handled graphic cards well.
