#Amiga 2000 Trashcan
5 messages in this thread
I was over at a friend's house today to help him set up his
Amiga 2000 workbench disk, and I discovered that the
Trashcan icon as provided by Commodore was a DRAWER instead
of a GARBAGE type, which means that the Empty Trash item will
remain ghosted and can't be used to empty the trash can.
So, if you have trouble, this is why.
I'm going to try and fix the icon without ruining the
double-image effect of the trashcan lid opening
(iconed only seems to load the first image.)

Mike:
You can change the type of the Icon very easily by a nice little utility
written by Larry. It's in the DL's…..and it's called ITYPE.ARC or ICTYPE.ARC
Nevertheless, if you want the original templates for the Trashcan or Drawer
Icons I can supply you with the original brush files or you can DL My Icon ARC
in DL 16. Those two are included in the ARC. CBM altered the Trashcan a bit
but such is life! <grin>

Thanks. I found that itype utility, and have it fixed.
Would it be ok for me to upload it?

Mine has a ram disk in workbench that does not go away if I trashcan it or
if I reset the amiga. Is this normal. As far as the manaual is concerned, its
not.

I don't think you can trashcan a disk or ramdisk.
The way to tell if your Trashcan icon is messed up
(DRAWER instead of GARBAGE) is to single click on the
Trashcan icon, and select the Info item from the
Workbench menu. It should show the type as
GARBAGE.
