QuoteIn other words, just change the 'DEFAULTVIEW=' setup string of each drive object. All directories on the drive should pick up the change.
I can find nothing that says DEFAULTVIEW=, in each drive object. Care to be a little more specific? Where do I look?
If you mean the Default action, in the Open As menu, yes, I can set that to Tree View, but then every directory also tries to open in Tree View, when they used to open in Icon View (which is usually what I want). I can change each directory to open in Icon view, but it could take days to change all of them.
QuoteThis is a known issue at the present time.
Okay. If that is the case, I would suggest that Split View should not be the default setting.
So, I now have a better install. Now, I am trying to figure out how to get the Drives folder to open drives in the Tree view (actually, I know how to do that), then how to get the Tree view to open directories in the Icon view, as it did before (I know how to do that too).
As noted, I know how to do both, the question is how do I do it globally, without having to change the properties of every drive, and directory, that I have?
I don't mind the new way of displaying data, BUT, if I go to a directory, and select a file that I want to COPY to another directory, I can't do it without opening an icon view in at least one of them. That seems to be an extra step that I shouldn't need to do. I also tried Pickup, and Drop/copy. The WPS hung, and wouldn't restart from CADH (it said that it did restart). I had to reboot.
Anybody else seeing this? Anybody know of a better way to do a copy, or move, using the Split View? Did I miss a setting somewhere?
As regards installation: needs a little bit of work I think.
1] DOS was deselected but there is a populated \os2\mdos directory and DOS drivers loaded at boot.
2] JAVA was deselected but I discovered that java11 gets installed anyway in \os2\java\java11
4] What happened to the options to "use pretty clock" and the good search tool pmseek.exe - did I miss them somewhere?
This 1 is my fault: I accidentally installed the "enhanced file dialog" thingy. How do I get rid of that and reinstate the old file open/save dialog?
My Asus M4A78LT-M boots to a desktop, the Intel Pro/1000 nic is seen and used and I can get to the internet BUT there is no way that I can do anything with the drives on the machine - every time I try to open a drive it gives a windows like message that the drive isn't formatted (they are HPFS and JFS). As a demonstration that is useless.
I do have one question though, why does an eCS install default to using %bootdrive%/programs and %bootdrive%/home?
Thanks for that bit of information Alex. When you say view them do you mean just getting a list or actually extracting them - in other words do we now have a fully functional 7z?
Likewise Doug, all my applications are on one partition and where possible the data produced is on yet another. The boot partition has OS/2 and that is it.
Must it be on the boot partition or can it be on another and if on another will it allow multiple boot partitions? That is the question that must be answered!
At the moment there appears to be a move towards emulating windows with everything being placed in the boot partition. As far as I can see this is a retrograde step and should be resisted.
Thanks for all the answers, but I still have no idea about my questions:
1. there is a minimum space of 6GB required for a "full" install of eCS 2.2? +
3. has YUM/RPM to be installed on the boot drive or is it possible to install it on a seperate drive?
(as these depend on each other)
2. will the installer quit if there is less or deselect RPM/YUM applications (JAVA, ODIN, QT I guess)
4. or do one have to have two partitions for the installation (one for OS one for YUM/RPM) allways?
5. If it is necessary to install YUM/RPM on the bootdrive - does it will go in a seperate folder or "mess up" the whole boot drive with the needed folder structure?
Sorry, but I am not able to find the answers to that - "simple" - questions.
As far as I understand the whole YUM/RPM is needed to install ODIN and QT - as JAVA and Flash are not ready....
The most important questions of these are to me:
Does YUM/RPM hast to be installed on the Bootdrive and will it go in a seperat folder?
Might it be possible to answer this easy question with an easy YES or NO? - > Thanks in Advance!
