`13.Jan.2002` Amiga Future	JPEG: exif.library 1.1, pfDirectoryView V13.1 On 13 January 2002 updates were published on the web sites of Steeple Software (Paul Huxham) for "exif.library" and for "pfDirectoryView". The "exif.library" supports the selection of the EXIF-data of a JFIF-(JPEG)-image file. It was developed to gain useful information from image files as saved by most digital cameras. Example programs and a single image with EXID-data are included in the library. In this version a bug in a language string has been fixed. In the "pfDirectoryView V13.1" module for PhotoFolio 2.2 a bug has been fixed in connection with loading locale catalogs.

`13.Jan.2002` Amiga Future	Scalos: Updates for DefIcons, Persistent Windows und WB39-Plugins On 13 January 2002 new versions of DefIcons, Persistend Windows and WB39-Plugins for the Workbench alternative "Scalos" were released. DefIcons Plugin V45.6 This can be used as a replacement for the filetypes-plugin. It can display a default icon for files without icon, depending on the type of the file. DefIcons requires AmigaOS V3.5+ Persistent Windows Plugin V39.16 This plugin records all the directory windows a user opens and closes and keeps a record. Should a reboot or a crash occur this data is used in order to open the windows automatically so that the former condition is restored. Note: If you had previously the SnapDesktop beta installed, it is necessary to delete the old files completely before this new plugin is installed. WB3.9 Plugin V45.21 This plugin is for AmigaOS 3.5/9 users only. It provides Scalos with some missing functions that will now allow some other software to work correctly, e.g. AmiDock. It also offers an integrated volumegauge for AmigaOS 3.5+ users. It now loads in OS3.5+ volumegauge preferences as set in the Workbench preferences. There were also further system checks added so that this plugin is now more stable. Note: Users who use this plugin don't need the volumegauge.plugin. If it was previously installed, it must me removed. Download: Scalos-Plugin_DefIcons.lha (12KK) Scalos-Plugin_Persist.lha (20K) Scalos-Plugin_WB39.lha (24K) (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 13.

`13.Jan.2002` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: Interview with Gerd Frank (AmiATLAS) Olaf Köbnik writes: In November it finally happened. A new version of the travel planner "AmiATLAS" was published for the first time since 1998. It was developed by Andreas Regul and then Gerd Frank took over and developed it further. Within a short period of time he created a piece of software of the highest quality - AmiATLAS 6. The Amiga Arena talked to Gerd Frank about the development and future of AmiATLAS and about the question why some of the planned features were not finished for the release. Just a personal remark I can only appeal to all of you. Whoever wants good software for the Amiga will destroy its future by using pirate copies which are unfortunately also available from AmiATLAS. Many people don't seem to be aware of the fact that every registered and sold unit counts! Just now that we are about to have the chance to get an up-to-date software it would be a shame to ruin ourselves and also the future of the platform Amiga by using pirate copies. I take this interview as an opportunity to once again draw attention to this issue! Olaf - Amiga Arena (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 13.

`13.Jan.2002` Czech Amiga News	ProStationAudio: ALPS-Update and WinUAE-Benchmark On 12 January 2002 an update of the plug-ins for 'ProStationAudio Titanium' as well as early DSPSpeed benchmarking results for WinUAE- JIT (0.8.17 R3) were released. The ALPS update makes sure that the plug-ins APS-1 and APR-1 (Stereo Phase Rotator) are compatible with 'ProStationAudio Titanium'. The benchmark tool 'DSPSpeed' measures the performance of a computer system with AmigaOS which runs 'ProStationAudio' in real time. Here the reference system is AmigaOS/68 on a 68060 with 50MHz. To this system the index value 100% was allocated. The result page for this benchmark has now been extended with early results for WinUAE-JIT (0.8.17 R3) on a Celeron Coppermine with 1000 MHz. At this benchmark WinUAE runs at approximately half-speed than Amithlon and still provides high acceleration for 'ProStationAudio' compared to the reference system.

`13.Jan.2002` Timo Kloss (E-Mail)	Graphic Adventure-Developer Kit: Inga-Engine Version 0.9/5 Timo Kloss writes: Once again there is a version which is really almost totally finished! Of course the Audio-CD-Support is still missing. Compared to the last version the most outstanding difference is the following: the plug-in system has been removed!!! What's all this about? All the features offered by the plug-ins of late have now been firmly integrated (sound-/ language and MED-music) and can be activated by using normal script commands. Accordingly, Inga has been prepared to be ported to other platforms. However, a complete compatibility of all versions would be endangered by a plug-in system. Consequently, it has been removed! Further information can be found in the compendium under "LadeSound", "SpieleModule" etc. Besides the following improvements have been made: You can now also talk to the characters even when you can't run to them all the way (because of the run card). However, it's still not possible to give them anything (that is to say "WennBenutzt" works but "WennBenutzt-Mit" doesn't work!). The destination of the run towards the characters is now better calculated. So far it has only been possible to run either on the left-hand or right-hand side (only provisional). Small mistakes have been removed: If animated characters appeared for example only from the left-hand side and if they bent forward, it was impossible to find a suitable representation. Inga-pictogram information now enables the features "NOSOUND" and "NOPLAYER" as a substitute for "DISABLE" at the plug-ins. You can find further information in the game instructions. The speed of the characters can now be changed. (Consult the compendium under "Laufschnelligkeit" (speed)). InutilisGraphics Version 1.04 For this you can also find an update with two improvements: Even for small graphics a big screen now opens up so that it is possible to control the characters from a point outside the graphic. 24-bit-pictures are now recognised and activate a warning message while previously the program got stuck.
