There are a few more pieces in beta that you can play with.
Media Kit
Translator Kit
Print Kit (IIRC)
BFS (***BUT*** follow Axel's directions - DO NOT USE IT FOR ANY DATA
THAT YOU CARE ABOUT!!!)
Some oldies but goodies:
MDR
OpenTracker/OpenDeskbar
Sikosis and/or the Preferences website can give you individual app status
As far as ShowImage, the bloat vs non-bloat has been discussed at length
offlist. The long and short of it is that the file size between R5, Dano
and ours is nearly nothing. If we can implement more features in less
space, well, I think we have done OK. :-) Believe me - there is no one
who supports the "less is more" approach of BeOS than the admin team. We
don't want another Windows or Linux.

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.
