`15.Jun.2001` Bjarke Viksoe (ANF)	PC: ADF view The ADF View is a Shell Namespace extension, which opens up the .ADF file extension. ADF files are Amiga Disk Files, or image dumps of AmigaDOS formatted disks. These files are used by most Commodore Amiga emulator software. Because ADF View is a namespace extension, it is integrated right into the Windows Explorer. Double-clicking on an ADF file brings up the familiar folder view, where you can copy, move, delete, recover and rename files as you would usually do with normal PC files. You can also drag'n'drop files from any Windows folder to an ADF folder, and back. ADF View works with Amiga floppy images and hard disk images. It even detects Amiga hard drives attached to your computer and adds a new drive icon to the "My Computer" folder under Windows NT/2000. New and empty disk images can be created using a Wizard under the Shell New commands (The File/New sub-menu in the Windows Explorer). Download: adfview.zip - 96 kB (ps) [News message: 15.

`14.Jun.2001` Christoph Meier (ANF)	Heise: mp3PRO: MP3 Successor joining the Race »Since today, 14th June, the first official demo version of the designated MP3 successor mp3PRO is available for free download on Coding Technologies' website. The "RCA Demo mp3PRO Player/Encoder 1.0" plays Mp3(PRO) files as well as wav-files. The latter can also be converted to the new mp3PRO format at a non-varying bit-rate of 64 kbit/s. The new and downwards compatible format augurs a substantial better quality of sound at low bit-rates, due to "spectral band replication" (SBR). « Complete article (German) under the title link.

`14.Jun.2001` Christoph Gutjahr (ANF)	New Screenshots of the AmigaDE GUI Under the title link there is a posting by Fleecy Moss (AmigaOne mailing list) along with several pictures attached to the mail. Matt Chaput (together with other people) in deed has been authorized to design the new GUI. Fleecy explained that "of course these still are prototypes and eventually will be 'skinnable' (configurable with skins). But the pictures should give a good impression of where things are going". Update: (08.08.2012, cg) Added the two screenshots mockups that could still be found on the net. (ps) [News message: 14.

`13.Jun.2001` Christoph Gutjahr (ANF)	Matt Chaputs notions to GUI-design for AmigaDE Under the title link you can find a document called AmigaUI Look. It was created by Matt Chaput which is the GlowIcon-designer. Looking at the first paragraph you can only suppose that Matt concerned with the GUI for AmigaDE at least in October 2000. In section "Work" of his website you can also find the site Amiga GUIs which contains some screenshots of his notions: Screen mock-up #1 Screen mock-up #2 Single window- and control elements If Matt Chaput did it on behalf of Amiga Inc or just for fun and if he concerns with it today is unfortunately not known.
