- How to use AmiDock
-
- There are two ways to use AmiDock:
-
- 1) From the the CLI enter 'amidock' and the prompt and press return.
- This will cause AmiDock to look in the DOCK: directory that you assigned
- before you ran AmiDock (usually in the startup-sequence).
- AmiDock will also use the DOCK: assignment if you ran it from the WorkBench
- by double clicking on its icon, or under WB2.0, placing it in the WBStartup
- drawer.
-
- The assign DOCK: must be made so that it specifies a directory where a
- dock.config file is located and must be done before you run amidock in this
- way.
-
- example: assign DOCK: dh0:dock/interlace/maindock
-
- For this example to work a dock.config file must be in the directory
- 'dh0:dock/interlace/maindock'.
-
- 2) The second way to run AmiDock eliminates the need for the Assign DOCK: stuff.
- All that you need to do is to give the path to the dock.config file as the first
- argument to AmiDock when you run it from the CLI. This method only works from
- a CLI (or shell). It will not work from he WorkBench, to run AmiDock from the
- WorkBench see #1 above.
-
- example: amidock dh0:dock/interlace/maindock
-
- Remember a dock.config file must be in the directory dh0:dock/interlace/maindock
-
-
- NEW for version 1.4:
- When you run AmiDock and it cannot find a dock.config file AmiDock will put up
- a error message stating that it cannot find its dock.config file. If this happens
- be sure that the dock.config file is in the directory specified as a argument or by
- the assignment DOCK:.
-
-
- To run AmiDock from the startup-sequence add the following lines to your
- startup-sequence:
-
- assign DOCK: <path to dock.config file - see above>
- amidock
-
-
- To run more than one AmiDock from your startup-sequence add these lines:
-
- assign DOCK: <path to dock.config file - see above>
- amidock
- amidock <path to another dock.config file>
-
-
- You can run as many as you want to like this, just remember that each different
- AmiDock needs its own dock.config file (put them in separate directories) and each
- brush used by a particular dock needs to be located with each and every dock.config
- file that uses it.
