Hi! as on subjet LoView 1.5 was available on OS4Depot... Actually it was an AmigaOS4.x app, but if someone interested I've in project to compile it also for AmigaOS3.x, WOS, and AROS... Any comment was appreciated

Nice job!

I like this new version a lot. (I also like the icons in Mason's new style.)

One interesting bug to report, though. If one presses the button to open a new directory, but then cancels, instead of retaining the previous directory, it either jumps to root (SYS:) or it displays the following error: "Error locking/! File: LoView.hws (current line: 113 - In function: ReadDirectory)"

Mason was a GREAT man!

I cant reproduce the problem here... Can you specify the full path where from do you launch LoView plz? And also if it happens always or only in certain circumnstances?

Thank you!

Simone.

I don't keep the executable in the LoView drawer, but copy it to Utilities. If I start LoView from "SYS:Utilities/LoView", then it ends up directing me to "SYS:" when I cancel the new directory requester. If I start LoView in the root of another partition ("Test:LoView"), then I get the error that I quoted in the previous message.

It looks like the code is trying to do something with the NIL that is returned from PathRequest() when it is canceled, instead of reverting to the previously selected path.

I just downloaded it, but I can't get it to work at all Workbench doesn't recognize the .info file as an icon, and when I try and run it from shell it makes a complaint about not being able to read file LoView in line 2067...

How can I fix this?

mmm..weird! Was a simple PNG dual image icon... Plz try to create a new icon and set Tooltypes as described on the readme... Let me know if it then works...
