Post subject: My MorphOS - Ambient
This will probably be the last post in this forum with an Ambient compile. Im thinking about setting up a small webpage.

The Ambient programming team is introducing new functionalities (that is not to be seen in MorphOS or a 'Amiga-like' system before) making the Ambient a lot more better and useful desktop tool. Using of filetypes in the system, including an editor for the purpose of editing filetype scripts. Now by the development of 'My MorphOS' giving access to your computer, and to hide/show drives on the Ambient desktop using a easy to use menu choice. Read the two last days changes below, it is a lot of changes.

Please read the following very carefully before you download and consider using this build.

 - debug.c/h, actioneditclass.c, menus.c
   Added new MIMEACTIONED debugclass and added debug into actioneditor. (chaozer)
 - images/def_mymorphos.png
   Added to repository. (chaozer)
 - deficonpool.c, makefile.objs
   Added a default "my morphos" icon... It can be replaced by putting
   "def_mymorphos.info" into the deficons directory. (chaozer)
 - prefs_desktop.c/h: previous hiddendrives.c/h. (itix)
 - iconio.c/icon_read(): added new tag ICONTAG_IsAssign, with this flag the function
   can load proper icons for assigns too. (itix)
 - shortcuts.c: now remembers icon positions too. (itix).
 - actiondispatcherclass.c
   fixed names merging code (list iteration). no more hits (prolly:). (kiero)
 - toolbargroup.c
   drop indicator seems was broken for some reason.
   changed looks to normal buttons for now. (kiero)
 - toolbutton_spacerclass.c
   added image to setup window. (kiero)

 - contextmenu.c
   adjusted to work with multiple views using same view class. (kiero)
 - Enhanced disk position saving: now position is removed for removable media too
   (like CDROMs). Icon position is remembered by device name (like CD0:) so all
   subsequent disks appear to same place always. Changed settings a little so users
   might get devices re-appearing again. Choose "Put Away" from context menu to let
   them go away again. (itix)

22.01.2006

   and it is possible leave shortcuts to assigns on the desktop. (itix)
