Can (not) set window position on Ubuntu Linux

I have Ubuntu Linux running on my PC and on my laptop, both Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. You'd think I like Linux, but I think it is a terribly complicated mess. (On the other hand it allows me to browse the internet with older hardware). On the laptop I can set the window position of a RapaGUI window, but on ...

popfile and poppath make output window slow to disappear

On Linux, when I create an object that has a popfile or poppath widget in it and then close the window of the app, the output window of the interpreter only closes after a second or so instead of immediately. The delay does not happen with a popcolor or popfont widget. Not a big deal, but slightly a...

Windows 86

Hi, I am turning into an old fart, using Hollywood for hobby projects so I am not an expert at anything. I have found I don't really need Windows for much anymore and started using Linux which has its pros and cons, mostly pros. But I can't use the APK compiler on it so I keep Windows 10 around for ...

ShowDisplay() problem

Hi, On Ubuntu Linux here, when I call HideDisplay() and then call ShowDisplay(), the display will hide but not show again and the program will hang. It does work on Raspberry Pi OS and AmigaOS 4, unless you unhide the program yourself before the program gets to it. DebugPrint("hiding in 2 secon...

Re: SetFileAttributes() goes back in time

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I just checked in a cmd window and in an explorer window and to my amazement they actually do give different dates for the test file. Is there some kind of work-around then? Because otherwise I'll think of something else for my purposes because I consider this way too...

SetFileAttributes() goes back in time

Hi, When I set the date of a file with SetFileAtrributes(), it changes the date to one hour earlier. testfile$ = "testfile.txt" StringToFile("Hi!", testfile$) time$ = "01-Jan-2000 00:00:00" DebugPrint(time$) SetFileAttributes(testfile$, { Time = time$ }) t = GetFileAttr...

Re: Displays as Backdrop Windows (always behind)

Ok, you convinced me, here it is ;) - New [Amiga]: Added support for backdrop windows; these are special windows specific to AmigaOS and its clones that always stay behind all other windows; to open a backdrop window, just set the new "Backdrop" tag to TRUE in @DISPLAY or CreateDisplay() ...

Re: TextOut() ignoring text format tags

That is a good addition. I was facing this same problem too when I was displaying filenames using TextOut, in some cases these files names might have contained text that would be same as Hollywood TextOut format Tags. While it was easy to fix, main problem is that when a software like that is relea...
