Melf, what release version of 7-zip are you using successfully? I'm using the 9.x beta and under each button I'm only getting the "@" symbol, but this is a marked improvement over having the buttons not drawn properly/moving around as in prior Odin builds.

Also, minor issue with this build. It does not includ OdinTool & OdinGUI 1.9 so I'd avise that anyone interested get both tools. OdinGUI simply for ease of running applications and OdinTool so you can set your NT Level and other settings.

Speaking of, I do believe OdinTool should be updated to allow us to put in more NT Levels. For instance, many of my apps check NT Level to make sure that it is at least XP Sp2 level which Odin Tool does not currently set.

Anyone play with this yet?

I've found it to run more programs than the previous build but it still hits many of the same limitations of the old ones. MSVCRT dlls, GDIPLUS dlls, and DirectX dlls (audio/input/etc).

However, it looks very promising. I'm going to keep tweaking with it to see if I can't get some important (to me) apps to run.

I believe the DHCP client is set to renew its lease on an hourly or bi-hourly rate. I'd have to re-check though. The DHCP Client tool in Settings\Network\??? should tell you. It'll also show you all the requests, etc if you turn to to the verbose mode.
#21
Well, it doesn't look like anything is sharing in the low IRQ range.

Do you have UniAud installed for sound driver?
#22
IRQ conflict should show up in the Hardware Manager.
Or check IRQMon v1.1, it is what I was using to track down issues on an install.

You don't happen to have GenMac/Xwlan installed do you?

I seem to remember hearing that they exhibited similar issues.
#24
Yeah, Marty has some pretty cool things planned for the GUI so keep an eye out :)

I'll see if I can't keep some constructive encouragement on him as well. I've also got some ideas that we're throwing around too.
#25
I think I may have seen this issue before...
Run down your hardware and software specs for me please.
#26
HAH! ChromeOS is a sad, sad joke. Android has more power/market.
#27
True, but the new versions of solaris (OpenSolaris) are just Linux with Gnome or KDE GUI, so easily distinguishable.

However, stuff like Sparc 7 or so do look very similar to OS/2 especially at a quick glance.

Sounds like for the King Kullen ones that they were running an old version of Solaris.

Here is the standard Win File Open/Save dialog.

You have the standard window navigation controls (previous/next folder history).
You have the standard URI bar (here, Breadcrumb style).
You have the standard File System Index/Journal search field.
You have the Organize Button (replaces standard File text Menu, as well as enable Details Pane).
You have the standard New Folder button (or right click -> New -> Folder)
You have the standard File System Tree view.
You have the View options button (Extra Large Icons, Large, Medium, Small, List, Details, Tiles, Content).
You have the Preview Pane toggle.
You have the help button.

I don't see what is lacking in the functionality of this dialog. I never suggested straight porting of Win code, merely that this dialog (IMO) is incredibly functional and flexible. What I suggested then as now is that something akin to this dialog would be VERY useful. Even if we never get a proper Index service, simply having the OS/2 Search command built into the dialog could prove pretty helpful.

That is all.
#30
Certainly the aesthetics of the control dialog aren't the only thing lacking. I've previously suggested something more akin to the Windows or XFCE file dialog and got flamed out about M$ fanboy this and that and other (seemingly) requisite bullshit.

Seeing as I've already fought that battle, I figured I'd just comment on how its just simply ugly right now.

Pair that up with Eschemes, PNG Icons/Sunny Icons, etc and you have something that will look out of place if all it uses are the standard ugly 16 color icons. That is all I'm saying.
