AmigaOS 4: What it should have
--------------------------------
By MiGGYBYTE READERS
After the press release on the PowerAMiGA, a lot of readers wrote in
asking for more information and also sent there suggestions for the
future OS etc. Here are a few of the common suggestions.
O Seperate Palette for Backdrops and Icons
No longer would you have to 'share' the palette with the icons and the
backdrop.
O Multitasking Workbench Environment
When you perform a workbench function, such as rename you cannot open any
drawers until you finish renaming.
O Reqtools library licensed, replacing the ASL
This was the most common suggestion, having a more effiecient requestor.
O Multiview/Datatypes speeded up possibly in ROM
Interesting.....
O Ability to change gadgets etc like MUI
This would be fun to have in the OS without 3rd party support add ons
like MUI.
O TCP/IP/COMMS.. more comms stuff in ROM for easier use
Agreed....
O A comprehensive help facility for beginners
This would be good, but we dont want 15 million help files about the
place.
O Memory Protection/Networking
This is being done by AmiTech anyway no worries there.
O Abilties to open screens as windows like other OS'S
That means playing your favorite game on workbench if you want
O DUAL MULTITASKING.. abitliy to use two uses two mice
on workbench so you can do your work, whilst your
friend plays a game, both at the same on the same machine!
WOW!, this would be kewl!, but I dont think this is possible or is it?.
O All requesters centered or mouse sensitive.
This was the most popular suggestion to date!, 90% of readers said that!.
Well there were many more, and we may include them in the next issue if
theres any time left.
