Hollywood forums

Only me then? Well, it's a start.

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I sometimes have files with weird names that contain characters that TextOut() considers text format tags but are not. I want the file names printed as is so I had to write some code to adapt the file name strings. Although that was easy enough to do, It must always happen and it might not always wo...

Not very likely to come because background windows are very Amiga-centric and not available on other platforms. I was looking for the same thing just now. Maybe if I second the suggestion it would become a little more likely? I agree that background windows are very Amiga-centric but I am not sure ...
