Productivity on the A600GS and A1200NG
« on: September 27, 2025, 02:43:07 PM »
Hi everyone,

With the updates I'm finding the A1200NG more and more useful. I can also do work related tasks on the machine now, which is very nice. The in-built web browser has opened up many possibilities in this respect. 8)

Today I transferred a spreadsheet I use for inventory. I tried a beta version of Ignition (I use a newer version of Ignition on AmigaOS 4) which is pretty old, but it loaded up the spreadsheet from my Sam without problems, and I could continue to work on it on the A1200NG. So that works.

Does anyone know of a functional spreadsheet/program like Ignition that will work on AmiBench? I will have a look around to see what I can find, but info is very welcome. :)

Also, I often edit images (mostly cut and crop). Any suggestions for a good one here that will work on AmiBench?

Thought I'd post this here in case others are looking for such programs as well.

Thanks in advance for help!

@AmigaOldskooler

We want to continue to improve AmiBench - a port of AmiPDF is planned.

For image cut and crop features would you want something like Multiviewer ported over?

That sounds great! Oh yes, Multiviewer would be excellent on AmiBench! :D Cheers!

What does AmiPDF has to do with a Spreadsheet program ?

And why port the outdated AmiPDF ? RNOPDF is working fine on AmiBench and it´s free on aminet ...

I was writing about productivity in general, so AmiPDF is on-topic in relation to this.

Ok, got it, but again, RNOPDF is working great on AmiBench, so why bother with AmiPDF ... hey, every software is a plus for AmiBench but I would like to have some more native apps running on AmiBench/AROS instead of using Linux libs like in AmiBrowser and PlayVideo to achieve that goal ...
