Amistore launch day today. Any signs?

Neither

It's a missing feature in URLOpen.

Workaround is as following:

Create a text file with this in it:


save it as OdysseyURL.rx to S: or REXX: or wherever you want

Next open up URL prefs
Change Odyssey's "Client Path" on all tabs (except mail obviously) to "Yourpathto:OdysseyURL.rx"

Save and enjoy

@ddni

Odyssey works here with AMIStore when set in URL Prefs:

@amigakit

How do we send bug reports to the authors of different software ? Using the comments place in AmiStore. Or trying to find their websites/emails ourselves ?

Thanks Raziel.
Thanks amigakit.

For HTTPS, I had "URL=*"https://%s*""
I changed it to "*"https://%s*""

It works now.

@amigakit, I note you have"*"http://%s*""
Does it matter that you don't have https?

IMHO always report bugs to te authors of the software, don;t spam comment systems with them, the authors may not even read the comments, at least not after the intial rush after an upload.

That goes for os4depot comments too.

@amigakit

thansk A-Eon/Amigakit for giving us a centralized 'store'

btw, how come no official news release on all major sites for this beta release?

@amikit

I did buy Radeon-HD driver previously for my SAM460 ex
It seems i was entitled to updates to V1.0.

Were these updates installed automatically ?

Seems not: i checked installed version with Sysmon : 0.57 (thanks
pseudaxos)
My other questions stay open:

The site shows V1.2, when i click upon it i am confronted with a proposition to buy V1.0

Is V1.2 not yet out ?
Is it not yet out for SAM460ex?
Is there an upgrade price from 1.0 to 1.2 ? (Which)

@JosDuchit,
You can easy check your radeon driver version with Sysmon in configuration.

AFAIK 1.2 is not out yet.

Just downloaded Amistore this morning and all went smoothly, already bought Personal Paint, Z tools and Candi.

Donated to the author of Z tools a while ago and have been using most of his tools for ages so for the price been asked to me it was a no brainer to get the complete package and support his work

Am loving the animated backdrops of Candi.

The only problem I had was when paying it opened Netsurf instead of Odyssey but that was a setting problem on my side . Would have continued using Netsurf but for some reason I get a blank page when being redirected to paypal so have changed it to Odyssey.

So far I'm pleased with Amistore and looking forward to it maturing.

Hmm, I've used PayPal with NetSurf recently. It might be worth toggling the Javascript option and trying again, unless it's something odd that Amistore is doing (haven't tried it yet).

@ddni

V1.2 was uploaded yesterday to AMIStore. If anyone cannot download it for free and you have bought the v1.0 driver in the past, pmail me with your user ID and I will look into it for you.

@Chris

If you need any info from me for NetSurf, please let me know.


@eroom

Many thanks :)

@amigakit

Thanks.
Haven't been on the amiga since 10pm last night. If it went live after that I wont have seen it yet.

Just checked. I can't see the 1.2 version. PM sent to amigakit.

@AmigaKit

Still some bugs unfortunately :

So I paid for the program and I cannot download it ??

This evening i registered at amisphere and tried out Amistore for the first time. After logging in, i bought Personal Paint (cause that was the program i used to play with when i had a "classic amiga" 1200 which i transformed into a "killer machine" in those days) and netsurf redirected me to paypal, where i successfully bought this little gem. At first i was a little irritated, because i couldn't find the download link for my purchase. Then i realized that i had a positive balance and downloaded it directly out of the shopping list. The download and installation worked really nice, even on my "OS4.1"-Machine: A MacbookPro with the latest dev-version of FS-UAE on OSX "Yosemite". Amistore worked flawlessly, but due to the emulation bottleneck a little slow, but acceptable. Can't wait for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition. If things go well, there will be a new NG-Amiga user next year! So count me in

@miggymac

Excellent! Welcome.
Hope you get a new NG machine!

Well, that saves me testing it

I have spotted a problem though - the AmiStore download link isn't providing the correct filename. I suspect it's just missing a Content-disposition header with the correct name in it (I can download and extract it, but it's called "index"!)

Hmm... and after running the installer it downloads something, tells me it is complete but all I have is a drawer with this in it:



I extract that lha file and it works fine, but the installer clearly isn't doing quite what it is supposed to do.

@K-L

Ok, thanks to Davebraco I could finally download my purchase.

I hope it will become simplier in the future

No that does not sound right at all.

It should be:

3 Since you haven't got the money, you will be prompted to put the software in the Shopping Bag
4 Go in the shopping bag
5 Click on checkout
6 You browser opens on Paypal and you can pay (with VAT and so on)

8 AMIStore will start to authorise the purchase
9 My Purchases/Download window opens automatically where you can download the item.

I am fixing this bug right now... stand by.
