The Jack for AmigaOS news thread

New main Calendar window:

With a smaller interface the dates of the month need slight adjustment before public release.

So what's hiding behind the Dashboard button?

Hope you like!

So who exactly needs a Start Menu?

My latest addition to Jack, an Application Launcher for AmigaOS4 which actually works closely with AmigaOS4's AppDir functionality.

Starts Applications, Search through Installed Apps, Show (Application) in Drawer, WBInfo, Filename to Clipboard what more do you need? Apart from colour icons that is... still haven't figured how to do this yet as Hollywood unfortunately (right now) does not support loading of AmigaOS4 icons - grr. Perhaps 'PEB' behind the IconEditor can help?

It will almost remove old links to software that has long-since been deleted from your computer by managing the AppDir list directly. Plus you can also Add Applications to the list as well, i.e. those has yet to be run once.
Hyperion discourage Applications being install to the System Partition/Drive so I've even added a checkmark/toggle for that too.

Not bad at all

After over 5 months of redevelopment Jack 4.0 for AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS is on the verge of being released.

New features in 4.0 include a complete refactoring of the interface to take full advantage of MUI, redesign and streamlining of the Calendar/Commodity window, a new Dashboard window giving quick access to not only the unique features you already gfamiliar with, but some new ones too. The dashboard has a Application launcher with search and add capabilities, an online search interface for of all the popular search engines and social media sites, a bookmark tab of all the popular AmigaOS centric websites and more.
Jack 4.0 also comes with the AppStore as before, but has been given a massive facelift and brings much to the table as would be expected of any modern AppStore.
Watch this space.
