Galileo File-Manager and Workbench replacement. This is a GPL fork of the 2012 APL release of the legendary Amiga file manager and Workbench replacement by GPSoftware.
Re-licensing to GPL by permission of Dr Greg Perry, Managing Director of GPSoftware.
First, a word of warning: This fork exists mainly because I chose this code-base to as my training-ground for my latest attempt at finally learning Amiga programming. Even-though I will make an effort to keep them confined to my local copy of the source, stupid errors will be made. Use at you own peril.
Secondly, another warning: The version numbers are set to 0 for a reason. There will be backward-compatibility breaking changes until the versions are bumped to 1.
Also, I would have wanted to do more testing before this upload. But one of my backup disks died, so the upload was expedited in fear further data-loss. Thus not all parts of this fork have been tested further than that it compiles. This goes for the FTP and recyclebin module, among other parts.
For a (almost) complete list of changes since version 5.82 see "ChangeLog.txt". Some of the highlights are:
- Included XADopus renamed to XADbrowser. With lots of bugfixes and enhancements. Now requires xadmaster.library version 13.0.
- Plugged multiple memory leaks.
- Fixed popup menus over inactive windows in WinUAE with "Install virtual mouse driver" enabled.
- Fixed multiple issues with "Preform all actions on icons" setting.
- Fixed bug with screen sometimes failing to open when set to "Workbench:Clone"
- Fixed issue with main library open-count making it sometimes impossible to flush it from memory.
- Changed "Copy", "CopyAs", "Encrypt", "MakeLink" and "MakeLinkAs" to single-destination commands. And added new commands with prefix "Multi" that preserves the original behavior.
- P96 is now the only supported RTG-system.
Build instructions:
For compiling, SAS/C 6.58 with y2kfix is required. Also, AmigaOS NDK 3.2 needs to be correctly installed/assigned.
The build system is set for fastest possible compile time, and thus maximum memory usage. If you do not have large amounts of ram, you might want to go trough all "scoptions" files and change "MEMORYSIZE=HUGE" to "MEMORYSIZE=LARGE", "MEMORYSIZE=MEDIUM" or "MEMORYSIZE=SMALL" depending on the amount of available memory.
With this in place, these are the steps to compile and install:
- Unpack the Galileo_Source_..lha to your preferred directory.
1b. (Optional) Copy move the directory GalileoDist/Build to another location. And change the variable "$builddir" in the script GalileoDist/buildme accordingly.
-
Open a shell and cd to the GalileoDist directory at the location where you extracted archive.
-
Run the script "buildme".
-
Unpack "GalileoDist/Basedir.lha" to where you want the program installed.
-
Copy the contents of "Build/Binary/" into the Galileo directory at install location.
5b. (Optional) Rename c:LoadWB to c:LoadWB_Old. Copy <install_location>/Galileo/LoadGB to c:LoadWB. Add "Assign Galileo: <install_location>/Galileo/" to s:User-Startup.
After installation you will have in your "Galilo/C" directory the command "IFFtoGalileo". This can be used to convert filetypes and button banks to/from a previous install of the original version 5.82. It takes wildcards, but will not enter sub-directories. WARNING: It will convert files in-place, overwriting the original files.
For "Play" command to work with mod files, you will have to acquire inovamusic.library from elsewhere and place it in "Libs:" or "<install_location>/Galileo/Libs/".
Special thanks to Roman Kargin kas1e@yandex.ru, Szilard Biro and Mathias Heyer for letting me use their code in my GPL-licensed fork. As a thanks, special permission is hereby given to the corresponding projects for using any of my changes to this code-base in their APL-licensed versions.
Also a special thanks to all the nice people at eab.abime.net for answering all my stupid programming questions.
