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...

TextOut() ignoring text format tags

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...

Re: Displays as Backdrop Windows (always behind)

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 ...

IsMusic() problem

Hi, It appears that IsMusic() has a problem. After it decides that a file is not music (or audio), you can no longer open it for writing. StringToFile() also fails, but deleting with DeleteFile() does work, so I guess you could do that first as a workaround. Example: StringToFile("1", &quo...

Re: APK Compiler fail to compile

Hi matty47, I have almost the exact same problem. I installed the APK-compiler version 4.4 over version 4.1 and that went fine. But maybe I did something wrong, because when I try to compile something I get the same errors as you. I updated and re-installed Android Studio but that did not help. I al...

Re: Display update

Ok, this will take some getting used to, but at least I know now this is how it should be done.
