Software News : Jack 1.9 - The Big Commodity Update

Posted by djrikki on 2011/9/16 11:45:43 (1280 reads) News by the same author

Two updates in one week I hear you cry!? Yes, here is another update of Jack before I head off to Spain tomorrow for a well deserved week in the sun.

So What's New?

Jack 1.9 is now designed to belong in your WBStartup as this is a refinement of major features into one place, the Commodity window.

So yes... the Welcome Window has disappeared.. never liked it anyway!
And... the Quick Access bar from the file manager has been removed.

The Commodity window features all the great features both of those previous windows into one great interface.

Brill...iant!

What's more the Commodity Window features a 5-day Weather Forecast for your area.

(And there's more!) I have also added (not 1, but...) 2 Drag n Drop areas. The first accepts files and will attempt to display them for you the second accepts images or volumes and allows you to browse through in (glorious :p) full screen mode.

Also (fingers crossed) IamSonic's missing Curl error should be gone.

I hope you enjoy this new release. :)

Quite a regular Joined: 05/16/2010 From: Grimsby, UK Comments: 950	Re: Jack 1.9 - The Big Commodity Update Hi Samo, Thanks I tried to fix the AmigaDOS requester appearing sometime ago, but it seems whenever I try and check a file exists using the HW command on a volume that isn't available this requester immediately opens up. Initially when developing it would continually ask in a constant loop (!) so yeah not great - but satisfactory. So yeah a little 'annoying'. As for LibJasper... I suspect this is because its got a double-extension name. I had some difficulty initially getting these uploads to even parse correctly without corrupting the entire read process. I will look at this after I return from holiday and see if anything can be done.
