xad.hwp seems to fail to open any RAR archives on MorphOS with the 3rd party XAD client , even when the same archives can be opened with XADUnFile, XADopus, and Ambient. When trying with xad.hwp it doesn't seem to recognize the archive and a hit appears in the MorphOS debug log. Reproduce it, for ex...

When you create archives with zip.hwp (zip.AddFile/NewName, for instance), it seems to accept only filenames in UTF-8 encoding, for example, when using umlauts. This is problematic, because Amiga/MorphOS programs can't show them correctly and you get typical UTF-8 garbage when listing or unpacking f...

I've been wondering why I get a filename inside a gzip archive as "unnamed.dat" with Hollywood's XAD plugin. Other programs show the name as the archive name, even XAD's own commandline tools. The XAD plugin seems to be only one showing this "unnamed.dat". I hunted it down now, a...

If I unpack an archive with XAD and CopyFile(), all directories inside the archive will get an arbitrary date on them (04-Nov-02 10:30:00). Even if I define a non-existent path as the destination directory, the newly created dir gets this wrong date. They should get the current date or if real direc...

I'm not sure if wildcards are practical with an Exists function... don't you still want to know exact files? But anyway, here's my take :) ; An "Exists" function which works with (MatchPattern) wildcards, and is case insensitive. Function p_Exists(f$) Local d$ = PathPart(f$) f$ = LowerStr(...

Code: Select all

mui.Set("RATIO","Contents","90%")

This works for me on MorphOS. On which system you're testing it?

How about putting the plotting between DisableLineHook() and EnableLineHook()? It should improve performance in this kind of situations at least. Didn't think better yet, but just a quick suggestion

Very useful application. I have created several pages with RNOPublisher already. Cool, nice to hear that! Is it possible to make it more WYSIWYG? I often get an info that my document doesn't fit the page size while it looks to fit perfectly. It's difficult, because Hollywood and PDF (Polybios/libHa...

It's an error in the documentation. Add an I letter there:
numcarpetas=CountDirectoryEntries(1, #COUNTDIRECTORIES)

Does this sound like something a beginning Hollywood programmer could accomplish without too much trouble? It seems to me with my limited knowledge, that it should be very doable, if Hollywood can open a Libre Office document, and then import data into it, though getting the data into the correct f...
