Third time's a charm!
4 messages in this thread
Mike,
when I use showiff24 on my Firecracker in overlay mode, the Amiga display stays
on. Is there a command line switch to tell showiff24 to turn off the Amiga
while the 24-bit image is being displayed, and restore it when showiff24 quits?
I tried various combinations of aon, aoff, boff, and showiff24, and came up
empty.
P.S. Third time's a charm!!! I finally got Imagine, through regular mail no
less. I have no idea what happened the previous two times, which didn't happen
this time, but I finally have 3.0 installed on my hard disk. Niiice cover pic;
has an Arabian Nights, Magic Lamp, Your Wish Is My Command look to it.

Blaq,
I heard that there was some problem with the FC24 and IMagine, but I
have not tracked it down, when I do, I will let you know.

Mike,
ummm no, I didn't say that Imagine 3.0 had problems with my FC24; so far, they
seem to get along as well as ever. My problem is with ARexx. I'm trying to
create a script to view an IFF24 image on the Firecracker, and 'showiff24'
leaves the Amiga layer on. Yes, I know I could switch cables in the back to go
into a dual-monitor setup, but I'd have to turn off my Amiga every time, and I
don't want to do that. Besides, you guys wrote those nifty 'aon', 'aoff' and
'boff' utilities for a reason, eh?
Anyway, the question is open to the floor. Folks, how can I fix the following
script?
/* Program to make Forge dump current 24 bit preview window to FireCracker 24
*/
OPTIONS RESULTS
Address "FORGE.1" SHOWSTATUS """Dumping Preview…"""
Address "FORGE.1" DUMPPREVIEW "RAM:picprev.iff"
IF (rc=0) then DO
address
"Work:FC24/Light24/showiff24 -p ram:picprev.iff"
"delete ram:picprev.iff"
Address "FORGE.1" SHOWSTATUS """"""
END
Blaq!
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh Glad you FINALLY got yer Imagine 3.0
Look forward to your thoughts on it
