Hi,
there is a guide for online ztools or something that delves into the topic
Thank you.

@zzd10h

yo my friend, finaly back to using your belowed utils again:)

been using fastview alot for screen grabbing and loving it off course, but i have found a issue. at installation it ask if i want to rotate using left & right or up&down. i choose up&down when installing. but, it never was activated, it still up&down.

i did change the settings and "applyed" it.. but it wont change.

just reporting:)

How do I fix Amistore's update program which consistently crashed out with ELF library errors and out of memory errors?
I am using WinUAE with A4000,Cyberstorm PPC and 128MB of memory.

Hi,

zTools 3.2 is available on AmiStore and in updater
The very vast majority of changes were made by Javier 'Jabirulo' de las Rivas in the various dockies.


If you used FastCompress, FastView or FlipPaper in your contextual menu, you should have to reinstall these tools since OS4 update 2 have certainly removed it.

* Added : AmigaOS 4 FE Update 2 support in System tab
* Fixed : Support for undocumented NGFS filesystem in Devices tab (Drakken)
* Fixed : Public IP determination in System tab
* Removed : Network bench as it is no more working


RAMDock 51.3

* Version totally reworked by Javier 'Jabirulo' de las Rivas
Added new tooltypes: INFO_WINDOW_AUTOSAVE, WINX and WINY
Removed INFO_WINDOW_ADJUSTEMENT and INFO_WINDOW_DISPOSITION tooltypes
Added USED_RAM_SLIDER tooltype
Created RAMDock_Guide.txt with installation and tooltypes information


GFXDock 51.6

* Version totally reworked by Javier 'Jabirulo' de las Rivas
Added new tooltypes: INFO_WINDOW_AUTOSAVE, WINX and WINY
Removed INFO_WINDOW_ADJUSTEMENT and INFO_WINDOW_DISPOSITION tooltypes
Added GPU VMEM to history (1 pixel black color line).
Created GFXDock_Guide.txt with installation and tooltypes information


CPUDock 51.2
* Version totally reworked by Javier 'Jabirulo' de las Rivas
Added new tooltypes: INFO_WINDOW_AUTOSAVE, WINX and WINY
Removed INFO_WINDOW_ADJUSTEMENT and INFO_WINDOW_DISPOSITION tooltypes
Created CPUDock_Guide.txt with installation and tooltypes information

See Changelog for the complete changes


Thank you Jabirulo for all these changes :)

That's awesome. Thanks for the update, and thanks to Jabirulo for all the hard work.

@zzd10h
Long time no see. How are you doing?

@zzd10h

Hey welcome back!
How long time .. are you ok?

@zzd10h

Thank you for the updates!!!

I would really love to support and buy...but AmiStore won't let me.

Openi Browser doesn't work and eMail seems to be handled manually, still haven't got one

Halleluya!!! X-)

Hi, so if you guys have some problems with dockies, please post here and will try to help/fix if possible.

great news ! Thx to zzd10h and Javier for the update.

sadly there is still no support for p50x0sata.device in the IDEtool tab.
I told zzd10h years ago (in 2018 actually) about it and he said he can not do anything because ztools relies on IDEtool so if this program does not support the device, it is a dead end !

CPU/RAM/GFX
- One click info window doesn't work as designed.
If i click on one, it opens, close it again, go to another docky and try to open it there's a 50% chance that the window will flicker (it opens shortly and is immediately closed again) - try CPU first, then GFX (75 % chance)

edit: all three windows should open at "-1"

NET
- One click open window doesn't work at all.
I have to click four(!) times to make it open, sometimes two imes to close it again

FR
If i may, please add the same info window setting functionality like it's done in NET to the other dockies
INFO_WINDOW_DISPOSITION = AA e.g.
and let the user set the adjustment.
That is by far easier and less time consuming than to find out the x/y positions for all the info windows.
-1 (under the mouse pointer is not very intuitive, since i have to click the docky to make the window appear and once it does it covers the docky and i have no means to move the window out of the way, so i'm stuck with the window. (At least i haven't found a way to move the window)

CRASH
I get a crash in either docky (gfx, ram, cpu) once two windows are already open and i click on the next docky to open a third one.
It's always the same output with differing dockies, so i only attach one GR log

@Raziel

CPU/RAM/GFX
The double click "detection" uses the Input prefs "double click delay", so if you have a "long" value (1.5sec) AmiDock thinks it's a double click. I have it set to 0.50sec

FR
To move dockyiwndow:
-Click on docky to make the window come up.
-Press CTRL+AMIGA (Right or Left).
-Hold those keys and click anywhere into that window with LEFT mouse
button and mve it around.
AFAIK this is a feature of all Workbench/OS4 windows.

NET
Haven't touch Net.Docky, couldn't compile on my system, so didn't update like other 3 dockies.

CRASH
Will try to rerpduce such crahs/freeze THX.


THX for feedback

@jabirulo

Well, is there a chance that NET gets updates too?
Are you trying to make it run, rewrite maybe?
