Your Top 3 Favourite & Most Used Amiga Utils....

[Franko]

What's you three favourite and most used utility programs that you use on your Amiga's that you just couldn't do without...
(PS:I'm talking here about proper utils DPaint etc...  and not things like patches, FBlit, MUI etc... )

For me it's :-

1) DirWork- I spend about 80% of my time on the Amiga doing almost everything from it (much easier and more powerful to use than Workbench), viewing files (docs, guides, html, pictures), playing audio (mods, 8SVX, aiff's, MP3's) editing text files, copying files, copying partitions/ HD's/ floppies/ CD's & DVD's, mounting partitions DVD/CD drives etc... and far too many other things to mention (plus it's a good example of a program that uses a third mouse button and scrollwheel)...

2)ADVDutils- a small set of utils I wrote for burning DVD's on the Amiga...

3)ImageFX - For Gfx/ Photo editing...

Here's a wee video of my customised version of DirWork in action, showing some of the stuff I use it for on a daily basis (even for playing audio cd's and mixing them with the Amiga's audio)...

PS:sorry for the incoherent babbling I was pretty tired when I made that video...

1. DOpus Magellan 2 - WB replacement mode just makes desktop usable and powerful. Nothing beats it and I feel naked and hopeless without it

2. AmIRC - Always on IRC, so pretty much used.

3. IBrowse - main browser still

Those are absolutely the most used ones when counting the time. So I guess I can't select any others now. Of course there are lots of favourites for other things, but as they still aren't used as constantly... for example PPaint, ArtEffect, FXPaint2, AMPlifier (well used much too), CED (used daily too), FinalWriter, MakeCD, AmTelnet (used daily with SSH too!), DCTelnet...

1) PPaint for pixel art Slightly more convenient than DPaint (although this one is better for animations, but that's my brother's department)
 
2) DOpus, for the usual file management. Never seen Dirwork before :| I might as well give that one a try...
 
3) And Maxon for 3D mockups and similar fiddling. The one and only 3D rendering program I figured out on myself without any manual

Seeing you're calling Dpaint a utility.

1. Dpaint.
2. ADF2DISK (really a tool)
3. Directory Opus

BTW. Your're right Franko I couldn't understand nary a word...!  Too many smokes that night?

[Duce]

1 -  DirOpus
2 -  ADPro
3 - Cygnus Ed

OS 4 PPC user here, all work just fine.

1. DOpus 4... can't live without it. Have so many banks of buttons for just about everything.
2. HippoPlayer/EaglePlayer,SmartPlayer... something to play some noise.
3. CygnusED.

Don't know if VirusZ counts cause it's up there too running in the background all the time... SnoopDOS and DiskSalv not used so much but must tools for when things go wrong.

[whabang]

Dopus is a given if you actually use the OS.

I don't, however, so I put PPaint on top.

[Gavilan]

DirOpus 4: 99% of my time spent on the Amiga, i use it. Cant live without it
PageStream: since im a journalist, i like to put my hands on this amazing program from time to time, just to exercise and practice a little
AmIRC: since i live almost where nobody with an Amiga lives, that was/is my connection with other Amigans

[Templario]

1. DM2: Disk Master2.
2. Eye Viewer Final Version.
3. Personal Paint.

[lionstorm]

1) DOPUS4 Do-Everything-Thingy

2) SimpleMail guess for what

3) IBrowse dito

thats on my main machine (AmigaOne running AOS4.1u2 since 2003 !)

This kind of thread is the opportunity for some of us to discover softwares they never heard about. So, of course i use DOPUS, Delitracker, IBrowse, etc, so i am listing here 3 softwares i find awesome but less known than others.

1/ DiskImageGUI: allows to handle as virtual device like VirtualISO on a PC any kind of image file, from adf/ipf to iso. It's more complicated to use hdf though, but it is possible nonetheless. Note that this one is made for OS3.5+ because of the  GUI but it is possible to use it with OS3.0 and 3.1 if you install Classact22 then Classact 33 from aminet and AISS.

2/ iGame: great tool to launch WHDLOAD games, even with screencaptrue available on the internet

3/ Netclock: useful to keep all your miggies to teh correct date and time from an internet server.

Diskmaster 2

Delitracker

ImageFX 4.5

[drHirudo]

I am on AmigaOS 4 and my top 3 utilities are:

1. CygnusEd - Bought the latest PPC version. It's the best. By creating macros I automate much of the work that would need hours to do, including translations from one language to another.
2. DirOpus 4 - copy, delete, archive, lha, zip, lzx, move, examine, preview, comment, protect, edit and all the other stuff I do with my files.
3. IBrowse - I surf the Internet with it daily. Including Amiga.org. I use OWB as well, but more I work with IBrowse because it is faster and I turn off the graphics loading --> even faster.

1. Filer... sometimes DOpus 4 too but Filer works better for most things.

2. TuneNet

3. YAM

[swift240]
