Multiview snag
« on: November 30, 2014, 12:12:11 PM »
I just did a new install of 3.1 on my A2000 (in prep for a new 3.5 install as soon as my "new" CD drive is in).
Problem is, for some reason Multiview is not working. The file is where it belongs (I think) in the Workbench/Utilities drawer. Any ideas why it refuses to work? What am I forgetting.....

Check path in the startup-sequence.
To fix mine I made a copy of it and put it in the C directory so i wouldn't have to worry about the startup-sequence.

Do you know what the assign statement is supposed to look like? I tried putting a copy in C, and still nothing. Thought maybe that copy of Multiview might be corrupted, so I tried another copy - still no go. This is driving me crazy.

It should be Path RAM: SYS:Utilities SYS:Tools (and so on)

Also check if Amigaguide is in the devs/datatypes drawer.

For starters you could check if these libraries are available:
369   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    intuition.library           Ver 37  OK  
 370   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    gadtools.library            Ver 37  OK  
 371   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    graphics.library            Ver 37  OK  
 372   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    utility.library             Ver 37  OK  
 373   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    workbench.library           Ver 37  OK  
 374   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    diskfont.library            Ver 36  OK  
 375   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    iffparse.library            Ver 37  OK  
 376   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    asl.library                 Ver 37  OK  
 377   KingCON DOS-proces OpenLib    icon.library                Ver 37  OK

When you say it's "not working", can you be more specific? Does it just not open when you double-click on it's icon? Have you tried starting it from the shell? Does it give any sort of error message?

IMHO 3.9 is a lot better then 3.5. ;)

It will not run, either from double clicking on a file, or the Multiview Icon, or from CLI. It just sits there - and does nothing, with NO error message at all.
BTW at this point this is just 3.1.
Some else pointed out the Multiview library needs to be installed too, and it wasn't. But with it installed, there is still no action. This is frustrating.
I may try one of the Multiview replacements on aminet......
 
@ Oldsmobile Mike  -  I will not argue that 3.9 might be better. But, I don't have 3.9 (and I do have 3.5) I don't know that I can even afford 3.9 right now. I'll keep an eye out though.

could you copy your startup-sequence here. I bet thats where the problem is.
Also you are using the 3.1 Roms?

Yep, 3.1 ROMS. I'll put the 2000 back together in a minute, and give you all the startup sequence......

Launch snoopdos (or dostrace) before you try - it may show what's missing/searched for.

I just noticed something. I am missing a few libraries:
    intuition.library ,  gadtools.library, and graphics.library. Could this be the problem? If it is, where do I find these libraries?
I never had a problem with this feature in the past. Why now?

Those libraries are all built into the ROM, so they're not missing, and it's probably just a version mismatch. Upgrading to Workbench 3.1 would probably fix it.

Before Iprefs
C:AddDatatypes REFRESH

Otherwise backup the startup-sequence then copy the startup-sequence from your workbench floppy and use that.
I'll try and recreate your problem.

Seems to be 2.x startup-sequence - don't remember what's changed in 3.x. So do check from your WB floppy.
