To All Coders,
Congratulations on your work so far. I am writing this eMail using the
OpenBeos StyleEdit.
I downloaded the build farm's binaries last night and have been playing
with them and I am impressed.
I installed the PDFWriter Printer and the used the OBOS Printers
Preference Panel to add a printer. I have successfully printed a few
text documents; although it died on when printing the Personal Edition
Start Page.
I will be using a second install to test OBOS. I would like to know
which OBOS components are ready for user testing. Specifically as
replacements of the Be Supplied ones.
I would also like to know which ones are from external sources and
essentially unchanged.
As well I would like to request that all components provide a version
marker (and an B_ABOUT_REQUESTED handler if possible) so I can be sure
what I am testing.
For example an attribute OSBOS:MARKER of the form "[OpenBeos - Author]
Name - Qualifier (VersionNumber - BuildDate)"
Some applications are "better".
* Media Preflet successfully accepts None Out for my system.
* ShowImage is more capable and I like the slide show feature.
But is it bloat ?
I encountered a few problems so far.
* FileType Preflet closes without doing anything.
* DriveSetup Preflet starts with a window too small and with the
title bar off screen (800x600).
* Network Preflet opens its window and the dies of a segment
violation. Probabley cause of the BeOS networking I'm running.
* StyleEdit complains of an "Unknown Error" when saving to a
drive that does not support attributes, but saves the text.
