Applications / Re: LarsenCommander - new test version
« Last post by Martin Iturbide on Today at 09:10:17 pm »
Hi Andi B.
I understand the problem for people with high resolution screen usually found in modern Notebooks. But I think it should be possible with current version to set all controls to the needed bigger fonts. This setting should survive restarts. I'm I right Martin?

If yes I think it's not high priority to invest much time in this and so there's nothing which I can do in near future. F.i. the (rare) crashes and some leak in currently unknown system resources are more important IMO.

I just wait on Martins response and if there is no real show stopper (f.i. some controls can't be changed to usable fonts) I'll create a ticket with all the valuable infos from Rich. Maybe some time someone finds the time to make a more elegant solution for that.
Like you said, this is not high priority. For me it is a "nice to have", it is not a bug. If there are no resources to do this, I think it is fine just to document it with a ticket.

Regards

Applications / Nomacs Image Viewer
« Last post by Bernhard Pöttinger on Today at 02:46:53 pm »
Hello,
I have tried nomacs image viewer, downloaded from netlabs. The newest OS/2 version 2.4.6. When I try to start the app a get an error the the file jasper1 is missing. The jasper1.dll is called from raw15.dll in the nomacs directory.

Does anybody know where I can find this dll. "yum whatprovides" commando does not show anything and searching the web does not bring some light to me.

BTW version 2.4.2 does run well.

best regards
Bernhard

It works great..  Can use all the Office 365 web apps in it just fine and anything else I've been able to throw at it.

-m

I think I'll give it a try, even though I really want a modern OS/2 browser.

there are 5 entries [...] and you map them to your categories.

FWIW... you're not limited to just the 3 default fonts. Rather, you can use these entries as guidelines for setting the correct size of your preferred typeface. For example, if lcmd uses 'Helv' somewhere, you can get the entry for the category (say, "menu") but only pay attention to the size (use 'atol(...)). If 'Helv' has that point size, use it. Otherwise, go up or down at point _or_ substitute WarpSans (non-bold).

Do all this during init and save the results so you don't have to duplicate a lot of code. (Note: the default values in 'os2.ini' will never change during a session - they're only updated during shutdown - so there's no need to check for  new values.)

I would like to have something that saves me some time grabbing by default font size (as XWP shows as default), but I understand that it is not easy to implement for each component described in the Font settings of lcmd.

It shouldn't be particularly hard: there are 5 entries under 'os2.ini->PM_SystemFonts'  [see below] and you map them to your categories. For example, 'PM_SystemFonts->Menus' maps to lcmd's 'AppWin.MenuBar' and its other menu settings.

DefaultFont: System Proportional - if this entry is missing/empty, assume 10 point SysPro

IconText:  WarpSans - this is mislabelled, it should be "Folder text" since it also is used for Details view
WindowText: WarpSans - standard dialog text

Menus: WarpSans Bold - both menubars and popups
WindowTitles:  WarpSans Bold

The key to using defaults while still allowing customization is *never* save the default value. That way you don't get stuck with a value that _used_ to be the default but isn't any longer.

Comments, Suggestions & Questions / Re: Hobbes (Files) Reoganization
« Last post by Martin Iturbide on April 22, 2024, 09:40:56 pm »
Hello

At the end Nathan accepted the changes and now we have a directory for Win16 and a different one for Win32.

I would like to eventually populate that directories with software tested on Win-OS2 and Odin under ArcaOS, but I think I will request some help on a different thread.

For now, I think I'm done withe Hobbes directory structure, I don't see any other idea on this area.

I guess the strategy now will be to find and upload any OS/2 Freeware/Shareware/Open Source/Public files that may be missing on the site. 

Any other suggestions for Hobbes Archive are welcome and I will check them out with Nathan.

Regards

Hi
Does this not work for your on one of the controls?

Though I for myself rarely had the need to change my fonts the last decade or so as I still use monitors with 94-105dpi (most of the time).
Yes, it works for me with the usual way of changing the fonts with "Font Palette". But In my case I would like to adjust the font size a little bit bigger. I would like to have something that saves me some time grabbing by default font size (as XWP shows as default), but I understand that it is not easy to implement for each component described in the Font settings of lcmd.

Programming / Re: Dive: Why does not this work

I wonder then, how SDL work then. There is not one mention of WM_VRN*. It just blits the whole SDL surface to the buffer (no direct VRAM access).

Cairo does the same. A comment in the code,
Code: [Select]
* This function uses DIVE to write those portions of the surface identified
* by @rect directly to the screen buffer.  It only supports 32- or 24-bit
* full-color video modes.  To avoid painting overlapping or child windows,
* it must perform all of the visible-region calculations that GPI normally
* handles.  Despite this, it provides a significant improvement in speed
* compared to using GPI functions.
