If you find a bug, fix or work around - let me know and I'll update this list.
| The following only apply to Directory Opus M-II v5.82, they have been
tested and proven to exist.
|
- Installing DOpus to an SFS partition causes the DOpus Update DJinn to permanently appear
after reboot.
FIX: Reboot without startup-sequence and delete <path>Opus5/Groups/Favourites
FIX: Update your SFS version to later than 1.62
- Lockups when changing screenmodes using SYS:Prefs/ScreenMode.
FIX: Remove whatever patches, hacks, CX's, etc you're running and isolate.
FIX: Change the order that you run your hacks, patches, CX's, etc in.
- Copying large files results in corrupted destination file.
FIX: Your MaxTransfer value for your partitions is incorrect, ie. it's too big.
Your MaxTransfer value is both HD and partition specific.
The Hard drive: You need to know how much onboard cache your particular HD model has
got, the place to find this out is the HD manufacturers WWW site.
(eg. www.quantum.com)
Typically, IDE HDs have 128kB of onboard cache, newer have more, older have less.
The Partition: You need to know the block size you formatted the partition with, typically
512 bytes. If you want to make sure, use HDToolBox, (or whatever HD prep tool you use),
and look.
How do these numbers relate to MaxTransfer?
MaxTransfer =
Cache size - Block size
eg. For a cache of 131072 bytes, (128kB), and a block size of 512 bytes, MaxTransfer will be:
131072 - 512 =
130560 or 0x1FE00
This ensures that the HD signals the computer to stop sending data before the HD's
cache fills up and starts overwriting itself.
- 'ScanDir <path> mode icon action' opens an empty Icon Action lister, no path set.
FIX: Use 'ScanDir <path> mode action' instead.
- Inability to re-activate the DOpus reader from the Tools menu.
Work Around: Turn off 'Move AppIcons to Tools menu' setting.
- The dopus_reader loses the last character of a line that has to be wrapped.
Work Around: Use a CLI command to wrap the text before reading it.
eg. Function : AmigaDOS wordwrap -b -i -s20 -l75 <{o} >T:wrap.out
Command FinishSection
Command Read "T:wrap.out" DELETE
Flags : CD source
No file quote
- Text search in a hex mode reader is generally non-functional, (ie. it will be hit or miss
whether the required text is found).
Work Around: Use this function instead:
Function : AmigaDOS type >t:tempfile {f} opt h
Command FinishSection
Command Read "t:tempfile" DELETE
(Thanx to Richard for this one.)
- AddIcon won't work if the resulting icon name is longer than 30 characters.
Work Around: Use my AddIcon module.
- CyberGuard hits when using the Help key while the mouse is positioned over a StartMenu.
- CyberGuard hits when removing all field titles from a lister.
Also causes 100% CPU load on dopus_lister task, (giving apparent program lockup).
- Iconifying a zoomed lister loses the fuel guage when it's uniconified.
- 'Empty Trash' deletes the Trashcan.info file.
- String gadget for titlebar custom string accepting one character too many, (or titlebar not
displaying the extra character). ie. You can enter 120 characters but only 119 get displayed.
- ARexx: 'lister new mode icon fromicon <path>' generates CyberGuard hits.
If used on a directory with no icon, (Disk.info or .info), it will cause 0100000F alerts.
- Stray pixels left after deleting icons when using Shadow or Outline fonts.
- Strange adding of left-out arrow, (or bold highlighting of entry when changed to name
mode), in Icon Action lister after selecting and renaming an icon. Thread 'dopus misteries....'
in Public ML.
- Dead Key sequences are being ignored, (or Dead Sea Kequences :)
- Bringing up the Format Editor in a Name mode lister, selecting Reverse Sorting, selecting
'Set as Default' then Use will cause the lister colours to screw up.
- When scrolling through a StartMenu with too many items to fit on the screen,
entries will continue to scroll up past their end. Scrolling them down works OK.
- The following sequence causes CyberGuard hits:
> Open Filetype editor
> Double-click any filetype
> Press 'Edit Class'
> Press 'Use'
> Press 'Use'
> Press 'Edit', (without choosing another filetype)
- Next mouse event is lost if there is a popup menu open or the path gadget is activated.
eg. Name mode lister, click in path gadget, click close gadget, action is not performed until
you click elsewhere on the screen.
- Menus are not accessible while a Search requester is up.
- dopus_progressbar task hogging when trying to use the DOpus reader to read a file
larger than available memory.
- DOpus won't open a requester for an assign that doesn't exist, ie. It won't ask for the
volume to be inserted - WB will.
- Yes, the icon positioning is strange.
- Icon mode lister popup menu opening any place it likes.
- Lister toolbar background being displayed while being edited but not when actually in use.
- Icons not being placed where dropped.
- MoveAs deleting icon files when 'Perform all actions on icons' is turned on.
- WB3.5 ARexx port unavailable when DOpus is also running.
- Inability to 'let go' of dismounted volumes.
- OpusFTP: Corrupted resumed downloads of encrypted files.
Addendum: Possibly server software specific, need more info.
Addendum: Downloads to FFS partitions seem to be completed OK, PFS or SFS cause
corruption.
- ARexx: The 'dopus refresh' command has no effect on Group windows.
- ARexx: With the fixing of handlers so that they recieve any event, even if launched
synchronous to the handler, you get the rather annoying problem of events being 'reinserted'
into the handler's event stream. eg. You use the Protect event to do something, unfortunately
the Protect event gets reinserted into the event stream, the file it was to action on has
already been done and unselected, so you get an error message indicating there's nothing
to perform the command on.
- ARexx: Replacing internal commands doesn't always work correctly, eg. replacing the Delete
command will not allow the file to passed as an argument when the RMB popup menu Delete
entry is used.
- Reloading the default toolbar into the toolbar editor results in the images being mysteriously
replaced by another image under OS3.5+.
- CyberGuard hits when adding an entry using 'lister add' with a TYPE = 0.
