`04.Feb.2007` Rudolph Riedel (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: DiskMaster 2.7beta10 Rudolph Riedel is making available another beta version of his file manager DiskMaster 2.7. Changes since 2.7beta9: Now, after opening own screen, a ClearScreen() takes place If a key is pressed, then the display jumps to the first entry that starts with the corresponding character Clicking on the window border changes the directory level If the left or right SHIFT key is pressed when selecting directory entries, then this causes the selection/deselection of all entries between the one selected before and the one currently selected (cg) (Translation: cad) [News message: 04.

`04.Feb.2007` MorphZone (Forum)	Graphics Program: SView5 2.10 Andreas Kleinert has released an update to his graphics program SView5 for AmigaOS and MorphOS. The included version 10.1 of the SView5.library now recognizes a total of 103 formats. Compared to the previous version, which was released three weeks ago, the improvements in SView5 2.10 itself include, among other things, that it is now possible to select rectangular areas of a picture via the GUI, that is, with the mouse, and apply any SVOperators on the selected area only (and namely for so long until the selection is canceled or changed). In combination with the (unlimited) undo and auto-preview function, which is also quite new, one can experiment to one's heart's content (for example, processing only the red eyes on a photo). In a similar manner, a color selection, too, can be carried out graphically (for example, an alpha color or the transparency in GIF/PNG). Likewise, it continues to be possible to specify the particular selection pixel-exact, or, alternatively, color-exact, as integer/hex values via requesters. The remaining improvements concern minor changes with respect to user-friendliness more than anything else. A detailed English listing of the changes in version 2.10 of SView5 (improvements in the SView5.library not considered) is found in the accompanying AmigaGuide file: PNG-Box: Updated to libpng 1.2.15 Increased minimum sview5.library requirements to V10 Increased minimum sview5support.library requirements to V3 Updated date and copyright information JPEG-Box: Increased minimum sview5.library requirements to V10 Increased minimum sview5support.library requirements to V3 Updated date and copyright information Added two more checkbox gadgets, one for the Save button and one for symmetry (yet always disabled) The checkbox button besides the Save button now activates the automatic generation of the default file extension (e.g. .ilbm/.png/.jpg) when opening the file requester prior to saving a file; note that it is still possible to just ignore this recommendation and change the file name not to have an extension; ARexx is not affected by the checkbox setting Opening any file requester now causes a busy mouse pointer Added new ARexx command "AREASELECT" for selecting an SVOperator action area via Arexx (instead of the GUI) Added support for new "AREA" .cpinfo data type, which allows to select an area visually and pass the rectangle coordinates as ControlPad parameter to SV#? modules in form "SV_AREA=left,top,width,height"; e.g. as parameter to Cut/Crop SV5Operator; NOTE: This works on a real graphics visually only, in case there is one loaded (otherwise manually entering a string is required); any previously selected "global" area will be released, then; selection of a global area on the other hand will overwrite (delete) a previous local SV_AREA in the .controlpad Added support for new "COLOR_#?" .cpinfo data types, which allow to select a color/component visually and pass the result as ControlPad parameter to SV#? modules e.g. as parameter to AddAlpha SV5Operator; OR when e.g. selecting the transparent color of a GIF/PNG image prior to saving it (cf. GIF-Box5/PNG-Box5) NOTE: This works on a real graphics visually only, in case there is one loaded (otherwise manually entering a string is required) Results of SV5Operators which result in de-facto size changes will be rejected for area operations now (size mismatch error) SV5Operators which have the -new- "size change" flag set, are rejected for area operations (size mismatch error) The 4 CTA commands for ASL file requester dimension settings have been replaced by a single new one (you will have to redo your settings) After using an ASL file requester the first time, size and position are not remembered (and saved into the configuration in case it is saved afterwards); no more need to manually hack it into your configuration file the first time The default file requester size/pos now is always determined from the screen size using a simple formula Added new CTA command VISUAL_PREFS for controlling the new visual area/color selection mechanism (on/off - default is on) The SV5Driver settings are no longer globally changed for all programs, but only locally within SView5 (regardless whether changed on the GUI, via Config or via Arexx) Increased minimum sview5.library requirements to V10 Also updated the .guide file regarding sview5(support).library minimum requirements Further minor changes Included sview5.library V10.1 (see there) (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 04.

`04.Feb.2007`	PowerUp Registration: Updated numbers Matthias Münch, who is calling owners of PowerUp hardware (PPC cards as well as corresponding graphics cards) for registration for some months, has updated the number of recorded boards under the title link. The goal of the research is to obtain an approximate idea of the number of editions actually produced and the cards still in circulation on the basis of serial numbers.

`03.Feb.2007` Timo Kloss (ANF)	AmigaOS 4: software sampler Phonolith 0.4 Timo Kloss released today a new version of the software sampler "Phonolith". New are the peak meters in the mixer and the audio settings. Phonolith is a program that receives MIDI via the CAMD library and plays the notes as samples. It can be used e.g. with the MIDI sequencer "Horny". As a specialty there's the possibility to import EXS24 instruments from Apple's "Logic". (snx) (Translation: wk) [News message: 03.
