Any program that supports datatypes already does this.
Why does it matter? Most amiga users are not English. A language that reads more like German would be excellent for a change, lisp with operator at the end instead of at the beginning :lol:
I dont agree, the ASL requesters are one of the very few things in AmigaOS that holds water - no-nonsense and to the point.
Sounds to me that OSX is what you want. I'm quite confident that if you were to sit down with AmigaOS 4.1, you'd be disappointed as heck - it really is not much more than old AmigaOS 3.x ported to powerpc and some bling added
Hehe.. nope, they just ramble around on certain websites, like the rest of us.
1. I didn't mean literally english. I meant 'basic' like commands and structure, hmm lets make a quick example, it reads very human-like.
set thefolder to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
set foldercontents to the kind of every file of folder (thefolder)
end tell
result: {"HTML document", "TextWrangler Document", "NeoOffice Document", "Script", "Plain text", "Plain text", "Script", "Portable Network Graphics image", "Workflow", "Plain text", "HTML document", "Plain text"}
2. ASL requesters are crap, can't imagine many people share your love for them as they need some serious work.
3. I already use OSX ^.^.
4. I've installed AROS and taken a look at it and gone through a list of must-haves in AmigaOS.
5. Okay so there is a picture viewer included cool, but I said all-encompassing. Would I have to download datatypes for something standard these days as a Gif?
Thanks for the quick reply, but I am contributing here to advance the AmigaOS with feature requests and set out what I believe should be bundled as standard. I am quite content with my current system specs which are Mac Mini and iMac - both intel.
Like I said elsewhere I haven't been around Amiga for the last 14 years so I don't share many peoples disbelief and disappointments that it won't progress beyond a hobbyist machine. With the right investment and marketing it can still go places.
