Scalos wtf?
« on: January 02, 2011, 09:59:02 PM »
Alright, so I was using Classic WB on my A600 (before my keyboard bit the dust), and was very impressed with Scalos. I decided to try to install it on my MorphOS machine and on my A1200, but after installing and rebooting, I get a screen with Icons for my drives, but not all those drives will open by double clicking them. Also some icons now just say PNG (in morphOS) and...

...when I right click, nothing happens.

I swear this was so much cooler with Classic WB! :)

So what am I missing? The docs told me to install it I simply needed to run the provided script, which I did, but as you can see, the results are less than exciting.

Thats odd, I thought the exact opposite that nobody ever uses ScalOS, now I think about it I've never actually known anyone who did use it... :)

Not the answer you were looking for... sorry... but at least someone posted here... ;)

Perhaps you were thinking of Dopus Magellan?

I used ScalOS for a bit back in the day... It has some nice features like asynchronous copy... But I doubt is has anything to offer the modern user :)

"•100% Workbench replacement - All functions work like the original Workbench ones
•Undo and Redo for most window and icon operation
•64bit arithmetic - Correctly recognises harddisks over 4GB
•Fully multitasking - Every window has its own task. While loading icons, any window function (e.g. Drag&Drop) is available
•Icon imagetypes - All types are supported such as backfill or complement. Configurable surrounding iconborder
•Icon datatype system - NewIcon datatype included. Icon support also visually highlights files which are soft-links in the file system.
•Icon dragging is more stable - And far less flickery on graphics cards. Whilst dragging, icons are displayed with text and they become transparent over anything where they can be dropped! MUI-alike transparency on low colour screens. Real transparency if running at 15-bit or greater.
•Cybergraphics and Picasso96 24bit color support
•Window patterns - Unlimited and easily configurable via tooltypes
•Optimised backgroundpatterns routine - Patterns can be tiled, centred or even scaled to fit into the windows. With the use of render.library, you get full control over the dithering and pen usage of your patterns
•Live updating window scrolling - Supports middle mouse button panning too!
•Drawer windows can be iconified
•Menu preferences - You can enjoy fully configurable menus (includes ToolsDaemon and Parm import), including support for context-sensitive Popup menus
•Application Interface (API) - Anything is possible from outside the program itself
•Custom preference programs - For both palette and patterns. A pen-locker is not required any more
•Nearly all Workbench preferences are used
•Installation is very easy
•Supports PNG icons with alpha channel and real transparency
•Displays OS3.5 GlowIcons even on OS3.1 machines
•Scalable icons
•Thumbnail preview icons for images - Thumbnails can be permanently saved in icons
•Completely confgurable, filetype-specific user-definable popup menus and tooltips
•Plugin system to exchange or add features - It enhances the Workbench and makes it more configurable
•Filetype plugins to display filetype-specific information. - Currently, EXIF information viewer for JPEG images is included.
•Iconborders - Nice looking, Icontext variations (normal, shadowed, outlined)
•Screentitle text - Shows what you want, how you want
•Plugin included for 100% support of OS3.9 Workbench features
•Plugin included for AREXX API compatible to OS3.9 Workbench
•Online update with updater.module"

It's part of that "Amiga in a box" thingy for UAE right? I've used it briefly in that case....had no problems installing the AiaB package on an emulated KS 3.0 A1200 with WB 3.1 ADF set myself.

Maybe you can use that package to install it on your A1200? Don't know anything about MorphOS though as I never use it sorry.

I'm trying to go the Classic WB route, but am having issues getting my SFS formatted drives to show up (which I'm about to make a post about as well).

I usually use Directory Opus, but wanted to try something different on both my Amigas and eMac.
