Re: [D5] Workbench icons
Hi Enrique,
ERMS>>> 1. The icon for the RAM disk isn't the one that should be
ERMS>>> displayed so I wrote a line in my user-startup to copy it to RAM:
ERMS>>> as disk.info and works, but it always appears near the center of
ERMS>>> the screen and doesn't remember the place were I snapshot it every
ERMS>>> time I boot; all other icons do. Can you help me to fix it?
TS>> Have you copied your snapshotted icon back to the location that you

TS>>
TS>> That's usually the simple fix to that problem.
ERMS> Thanks Tim, I'll try copying back the icon.
That should work, assuming that you're giving the RAM disk an icon in the
usual way people do that.
Of course, if you snap shot the RAM disk icon, the position is stored in
that icon. If you replace it at boot time, you're replacing the position
information too.
ERMS>>> 2. Don't know if this has something to do with dopus but I put
ERMS>>> ClicktoFront in my WBStartup drawer but it doesn't seems to run
ERMS>>> when the machine boots. When doubled clicked either in the
ERMS>>> commodities or wbstartup drawer then it works. Any ideas why is
ERMS>>> that so?
TS>> Perhaps the order in which you're running things from WBStartup? Are

ERMS> As for the patches, right now remember having wb2fast and another
ERMS> patch for faster AGA which name don't remember. Also the Matrix
ERMS> screensaver and clicktofront. I'll have to check at home if there
ERMS> is anymore.
I'm unfamiliar with all of them, so I don't know if any interaction ought
to be expected.
Open up the WBStartUp directory, and read the icons for each program. One
of the tool types that you can use is StartPri (for start priority). This
picks the order in which Workbench will launch each program. The range is
from -128 to +128 (0 is the default value). The program with the most
positive value is run first.
Try giving your click to front program something like -50, so it's bound
to be run last, unless you find something else that has to be run after
it.
If you give them all a wide separation, it's easier to shuffle things
around.
