One thing I can't get it to do is run native programs by double clicking them in a lister. I added 'or' and 'match $7F454C46' to the filetype but no luck.
Edit: Seems to be working today, weird...
I do it for now like this: - settings/filetypes/add: name: os4binary id: os4bin Or Match $7F454C76 use - mark "double-click" action, and there: command: amigados {f} use/use/save
And then can run any binary
@all I currently ask Olaf, and he ask GPSoft if we can upload to Files section 2 ISOS: 5.8 one, and 5.8DopusPlus (i have them already in original ISOs), so, everything will be in place and co.
kas1e: the dopus archive you linked to misses a lot of default configurations, buttons and filetypes etc etc.. I can send you a more complete package if you want to?
Thank you everyone who helped resolved the issue that was preventing Magellan from working on OS4. It is FANTASTIC to finally be able to use this great piece of software again. I've been missing it ever since I bought my Sam460.

Double-clicking on the background to bring up a lister works for me. So far I have found almost everything works as it should, ignoring minor glitches (window resizing not looking very clean, text in titlebar not very nice, etc). Occasionally, I'll bring up a lister, click on a device and get an invisible listing. I can still select the lister's content and perform actions on the items, I just can't see the actual list of files.
So far the only real issues I have had is with button-banks. Everytime I load a button-bank I get a DSI but they're ignorable and the button-bank still works afterward. However, using a "Workbench" function for a button doesn't seem to work; I have to use an "AmigaDOS" function instead. The other oddity is that, if I try to create a "new" button-bank, it starts me with 11878 Columns and 28526 Rows, which I cannot change. Previously saved button-banks can be edited without problems, however.
Double clicking on the desktop doesn't work for me either. might be a beta os4 problem. does anyone who is not a betatester have this problem?
@mpiva
I've not had invisible lister contents, I do get graphics corruption when dragging icons which are not rendered properly as they're 32 bit. I've not had the problem with the big numbers when creating button banks but do have the run from workbench problem, trying to use amigados with wbrun causes a DSI as well.
The biggest problem is the palette, using it on workbench screen only gives me 8 colours and if I try setting them and saving, when I restart they've changed.

@Spot,Severin I am also beta-tester, and dbl-click on background to spawn a lister works for me. Its all about settings imho, just can't say which ones, there is a lot.
But there is full archive with all toolbars, working dbl-click on background, bank of buttons as from dopus4, and so on:

That also strange, i setup big enough, save, and all is fine. That big archive which i point out have all palette numbers big enough.

Strange, i never meet with such visuall glitches error, but i heavy plays with buttons banks. But one or two times i meet with DSIs when works with buttonbanks, which lead to reboot. Check my archive as well.

I have now Dopus5.8 PLUSCD: 400mb of all kind of addons for dopus5, so no needs for :) But if you have original english ISO of dopus5.8 ..
@all For me currently there is real problem is that i can't start/quite from dopus5 fast more than 1-2 times, as it bring me DSIs. But if i quit, and wait a bit, then it starts ok. Seems related to bad closing or co, but for all that bugfixing native builds also need it.
I also found that mouse wheel not works for scrollbars (that is expected, as we have new way of handle wheel on os4), and i even know where and what kind of code need to put to make it works right now, just again need native build.
Hope Jens and Itix will sort that stuff in next weeks.
ps. did anyone remember/know where and what i need to write (i assume some startup scripts) to make dopus5 on start open those listers which i need, in position which i need, and those buttons which i need, with position and size i need ?

Just get everything as you want it and use save layout from the settings menu.
Edit: downloaded the archive and found the thing to popup a new lister, it's a script, the double click option, just set it to command & DeviceList.
If any of you have it dig out your glowicons CD and try the dopus toolbar images in there, looks a lot better and bigger for modern screens...
Edit2: Turning on 'use custom drag routines' in icon settings fixes the graphical glitches.

Can you upload somethere those images ? They looks nice. At least while we didn't have native build and can't use AISS ones, those ones seems ok.
ps. maybe you know how configure dopus5 to make it going inside of archive ? I.e. in dopus4, i just dbl-click on archive, its going inside, then select everything, and copy (so it automatically extracts)
@Andy What you mean ? If you mean dbl-click for listers, Severin already found that it was script, and all works together with installed filer (tested already)
I don't think so or there wouldn't be anything on aminet to do it. I've checked the manual and there's no archive functions I can see.
I did find some useful ENV vars though:
setenv save dopus/IconGridX 24 setenv save dopus/IconGridY 24 setenv save dopus/IconSpaceX 8 setenv save dopus/IconSpaceY 8 setenv save dopus/ShowUseDatatypesFirst 1 setenv save dopus/UseWBInfo 1 setenv save dopus/WorkbenchTitle 1
The last one fixes the ugly titlebar :)

ps. more i play with dopus5, the more i understand that we will never code something like this from scratch. Its just a lot-lot-lot, and writing something like this from scratch just unpossible in todays realms.. Really good that we got sources.
