Here follows almost the complete readme:

Code: Select all

Preferences - 1.53
==================

Preferences is a program that shows a window with grouped icons for launching
the prefs-programs found in "SYS:Prefs/" among others. You may see the
snapshot(s) for examples how it looks. Supports Tooltypes and a number
of languages.


Note
----
This program needs the info/icon (info_dt) datatype to be installed and the
system REBOOTED. If not please install it before, you can find it here:
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=datatype/icon/info_dt.lha

Further, it is assumed that the RexxMast (ARexx) is up and running.


Features
--------
- Groups the AOS4.1 default Prefs-programs into six main categories.
- Uses the same images as the current icons set.
- Supports localization.
- Supports Console prefs in AOS 4.1 FE.
- Supports MUI prefs.
- Supports Granite, AOS4 firewall.
- Possible to open the "Presets" WB drawer.
- Possible to open the "Prefs" WB drawer.
- Possible to open the "ENVARC:" WB drawer.
- Optional group for 3rdParty-program preferences.
- Amiga HELP key (Scroll-Lock) brings up the About window.
- A number of Tooltypes.


Keyboard actions
----------------
- ESC key exits/quits the program.
- Amiga HELP key (Scroll-Lock) brings up the About window.

HELP: If you are interested in translating and want to help out with a locale
to your language, take a look in this thread (http://tinyurl.com/h4bbyh6 ) and
post #2. If the language you have in mind hasn't been translated yet, then
please give me a shout in the thread :)


Installation
------------
First install the info/icon (info_dt) datatype and REBOOT your system. 
http://os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=datatype/icon/info_dt.lha

Then, just copy "Preferences" and "Preferences.info" to anywhere you
like, and start the program from there.

If you get an error when started from WB then use the file RunPreferences in
this archive.

A tip, it becomes pretty nice if it's added to the AmiDock :)

A very nice program Marko, where you get directly all the preferences is displayed sorted.
In my illustration, is U-Boot not displayed, is that right so?

Thank you Andreas! :D


@HelmutH

Thanks! U-Boot is not displayed, but if you have a prefs program for it, then you can add it to the 3rd-party group via ToolTypes :)

Hello marko
How is the correct entry in the tooltypes?
I have try it so:
3rdPartyGroup = YES
3rdPartyPrefs1_path = SYS:/Prefs/UBoot.info
3rdPartyPrefs2_path = Daten:AmigaProg/AmigaAmp/AmigaAMP3_20/AmigaAMP-Prefs.info
also so:
3rdPartyGroup = YES
3rdPartyPrefs1_path = <SYS:/Prefs/UBoot.info>
3rdPartyPrefs2_path = <Daten:AmigaProg/AmigaAmp/AmigaAMP3_20/AmigaAMP-Prefs.info>
and so:
3rdPartyGroup = YES
3rdPartyPrefs1_path = "<SYS:/Prefs/UBoot.info>"
3rdPartyPrefs2_path = "<Daten:AmigaProg/AmigaAmp/AmigaAMP3_20/AmigaAMP-Prefs.info>"
but I get no the UBoot and AmigaAmp Prefs displayed in the 3rd-party group.

Hi marko
:oops: Info in .readme 3rdPartyPrefs1_path = "<path to program, without '.info'>"
Who reads correctly is clearly in the advantage. Now it's works, without .info.
