If you've activated xwps Turbo folder setting then it's in XWorkplace - Workplace Shell - first notebook page. There are the filters and associations.

Although many of us are actually using this fork:
https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2
A few people have reported problems with this. AFAIK Jiri did a lot of work to extend C++ compatibility but this all lacks proper testing and debugging. So OS/2 programmer I know stick with the official 1.9 for good reasons.

Frank regularly builds whole package from the perforce repository and runs the regression tests. Unfortunately the openwatcom news server is down since a while. But I can look for the link if needed.

Applications / Re: XWorkplace 1.0.10 b3 - problems with auto-focus?

Thanks for feedback. Summing up in my own words -

1) xwp1.0.9 with current FF and sliding focus works
2) xwp1.0.10 (all versions) do not

I'm pretty sure 1.0.10 (beta1) did have the same code which disables sliding focus for Mozilla/FF as beta4 but will check again.

All 1.0.10 versions (starting with beta1 - xwp-unofficial-1-0-10.exe) do have a lot of changes compared to 1.0.9 in different places. So it seems the difference is somewhere else than the particular 'sliding focus' code I thought.

We should remember these findings until AN releases the new 1.0.11 and check again.

...back to 1.0.9 w/ shutdown fix...
XWP 1.0.9 with sliding focus and CURRENT FF works? Or did you backlevel FF too?

As the XWP build environment automatically installs the current build version, I had sort of not planned self test.

Some entry fields in Seamonkey do not work. One, maybe created by javascript, where I should input my password, never gets the focus regardless what I did. So no chance to log into that site.

Beside that even Chatzilla is not usable as you can not type in anything. Seems the same as what I've seen in 2012 - totally unusable with Seamonkey. And perhaps some other ported software. Remember the first exceptions beside WinOS2 and xcenter (IIRC) where OpenOffice.

Yes please...I'd love to give the "one-off" version a try...
You can get it from here - ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/wlan/xwp-4_Dariusz.unofficial-1-0-10.exe

I've not tested it. But as I remed out only one line I guess it works as expected.

Now regarding VisualSlickEdit (as I occasionally use it here myself), I find that as long as I do not specifically select the Menu all is good...however, once the mouse click is present on the menu then all other selections (sub-menus, etc) become automated, so it's as-if the sliding focus was on anways...is this the behaviour you are seeing as well?
It seems it depends on how you start VS. When I start VS with my xcenter object all works well - no auto-focus switching. When I start a second VS instance (start p:\util\VisualSlickEdit40\os2\vsa.exe e:\vs_empty_project.vpj +new %1 %2 %3...) from a cmd file it still does switching focus automatically. I see no difference with xray though. Have to install xwp debug build to find the reason.

Currently, I am using SHMEMMON (from JVW) to measure the low free shared memory, but it seems that the shortest sample time is 1 minute, which is far too long to capture what is happening in real time.
I think I've suggested this REXX script for watching memory a few times. Direct link -

'above512watch.cmd' uses above512 (included in the .zip) and prints the memory values every second. For people who understand German the whole thread is here -

...... ie scanning to a network folder. ....
My HP Officejet Pro X476dw MFP is a similar device but inkjet. Scanning to folder (samba share on my eCS machine) works fine. Even email translation of incoming FAX messages works. Only problem I see with Alex PSPRINT Generic PostScript driver is, minimum margins on A4 sheets are at least 12mm which I think is not correct for this printer.

The unforked version is still at 1.9 which lacks Steve Levine's debug and high memory updates and lacks wipfc.
Is this still true for the nightly builds from the current perforce repository? I don't think so but I'm not sure.

Frank regularly builds whole package from the official source. Last drop is from May 28, 2016. It is called 2.0 too.

The unofficial fork at sourceforge does have some nasty bugs and is not very well tested. So I don't want to recommend it but the official one build by Frank or by yourself from the perforce repository instead.

Did you put your %unixroot% directories (x:\usr\lib;x:\usr\...) in front of you LIBPATH? Even before '.;' may be necessary if you've old dlls laying around somewhere.

If it does not help, did you follow ArcaNoas wiki for yum/ANPM? Especially https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/anpm/ and https://www.arcanoae.com/wiki/anpm/non-updated-systems/

The elegant solution for apps with sliding focus problems would be a user editable list where the user can define window names by himself for exclusion from sliding focus processing. But that's way to much work for me to implement in xwp. And as there where also a few exceptions implemented in this way by someone else I only added my problematic window classes.

Additionally a user would need a feedback of the name of the window which the mouse is currently hovering over. Currently I do this with a xwp debug build and looking at pmprintf output.

I don't know if FF17 does have any problem or not. It's so ancient and I never used it. At least SM suffers from sliding focus problems for more than 4 years. Probably all 2.x versions. Cant remember details but think you could not enter text in some field or you had to place the cursor exactly into the field (not enough within the SM window) which made it unusable to me. If you need a special version which does not exclude "MozillaWindowClass" it's no big problem to build.

Here's the relevant code in my xwpdaemn.c

Code: [Select]
            || (!strcmp(szClass, "SALSUBFRAME"))        // V1.0.8 target is Open Office non-frame window
            || (!strcmp(szClass, "MozillaWindowClass")) // *@@changed V1.0.10 (2012xxxx) [AB]: added disabling sliding focus for Seamonkey / Mozilla
            || (!strcmp(szClass, "Visual SlickEdit"))   // *@@changed V1.0.10 (2012xxxx) [AB]: added disabling sliding focus for Visual SlickEdit
            || ( strstr(szClass, "vs_"))                // *@@changed V1.0.10 (2012xxxx) [AB]: added disabling sliding focus for Visual SlickEdit drop down windows
            || ( strstr(szClass, "vsapi"))              // *@@changed V1.0.10 (20141129) [AB]: added disabling sliding focus for Visual SlickEdit windows
            || ( strstr(szClass, "Win32"))              // *@@changed V1.0.10 (20141129) [AB]: added disabling sliding focus for Innotek Virtual PC
            || ( strstr(szClass, "MRED_"))              // *@@changed V1.0.10 (20151029) [AB]: added disabling sliding focus for MED
It must have been 2012 when I first enabled sliding focus with XWP and since then found problems with some applications. As you see SM was the first app which does not work well. In fact this was one of the reasons why I decided to distribute my own XWP builds. The above changes most probably will never make it into the official version. No need to open a ticket about this at xtracker - PR most probably will close it immediately with some kind words if he even cares about ;)

Martin, maybe the newer cups2.x.x and GS which I use are in the exp repository only and cups1.4.3 and older GS are in rel repos. I don't know offhand. I read your mantis ticket ....

Quote
1) Use cups/ghostscript from the RPM repository. Which according to Andi B. it is possible.
It is for sure with cups1.4.3 (I mentioned in another thread her long ago) and for current cups2.1.3(?) maybe only if you have setup netlabs-exp repository. As exp repos is not recommended for general use by the maintainers I do not recommend it to you. But if you want to give it a try....

Quote
2) Set CUPS to work as a PDF Printer to generate PDF files from NewView and QPDFView ( I never did that on the past).
QPDFView needs cups to print pdf files. No need to create another pdf file for QPDFview. If you wanna extract some pages from a PDF then I would recommend GSView/GS. When I need to create PDFs from NewView or any other non-QT application (except AOO) I print to ePDF package (which in turn uses a standard PS printer which prints to a .ps file which GS afterwards converts to a PDF). There is no cups involved here for this.

Cups for creating PDFs may be necessary when you want to print from another QT application. I did not try that until now.

I've running the rpm cups 2.x.x, ghostscript, .... since a while. I never had installed gs or cups on c:\ but on my dedicated program partition p:. Anyway I moved out of the way the eCS/warping versions and all of Pauls gs versions I ever tried and cleaned up to use only rpm version which is btw. the first version which works reliable and satisfactory for my needs. My needs are printing mostly pdf files or parts from them via qpdfview to my postscript printer. This never worked reliable with big files before but with the latest rpm verison.

I've installed the ePDF package too and occasionally I create a pdf from applications. Currently with the rpm gs package. No problem so far but not tested very much.

All in all I would say you can get ride of all older gs/cups installations and simply use the rpm version. At least for me this works better than the version before I'm fighting with.

But I use PS printers connected via LAN only. YMMV with other types of printers or connections. Read I never tested the gutenprint or libusb part.
