You can fix the method for any drawer and volume using the Snapshot gt Window and Snaphost gt All options Once Forever Wanderer onl Wanderer allows the user to choose whether to use show all files or icons only by default This setting however can be over ridden using the show gt all files only icons options in any specific drawer To change default view mode in Wanderer open Prefs Wanderer go to the Appearance tab and click on the Advanced button for drawers Then look for the Default view mode option of this panel Click OK and save Default view mode All files Warning Before Icaros Desktop 1 4 default view for volumes without a disk info file in their root was show all files mainly good for PC CD ROMs and pendrives This is not true anymore but it can be changed using the Default view mode option as explained in the gray box above 1 8 AmiStart AmiStart is Icaros Desktop toolbar and docking application well every serious operating system has one a o Q ES 2 ag wrraver ES Senza Titolo 1 2d V simplemai 0 32 G Menu dock section task list gray hidden orange active clock AmiStart behaves somewhat like Windows task bar There is a starting menu placed on the left a dock section to quick launch your favorite applications a task list on the right and a digital clock on the right The dock section is really easy to customiz
13. You can disable it showing only borders while moving windows but this will block temporarily their update 3 5 4 Enabling disabling FKey Windows like shortcuts Windows but now also most other operating systems use Alt tab to browse between open applications Icaros Desktop does this too with FKey but since some users might find it not enough amigan they can disable it Please notice that this option also enables some advanced shortcuts for calling Scout the file finder and so on see the first chapters of this guide for a better explanation This option won t affect Wanderer and Magellan specific shortcuts that will go on working 3 5 5 Enabling disabling FTP server file sharing There are many ways to transfer files from to AROS The best one is Icaros Desktop embedded FTP server YAFS which runs automatically when network is enabled and DHCP is disabled If you don t need it however you can turn it off Turning on file sharing will enable networking too 3 5 6 Enabling disabling AmiStart AmiStart is the nice dock toolbar sitting on the bottom of the screen It helps Icaros Desktop being a user friendly operating system since it is really fine for browsing files and executing applications On rare occasions AmiStart creates glitches and interferes with other applications for example DirectoryOpus and AmiBridge so maybe you d like to disable it Users of Icaros Desktop with old hardware will prefer disabling
14. for instance the new settings in the x86 environment will not be reflected into the 68K one nor the 68K preferences will affect in any way the x86 ones Every time the M68K environment will be brought up 68K preferences will be overwritten If you wish to avoid that and keep two different profiles for x86 and 68k preferences you can click the Shared prefs key It will let you enable or disable this feature O ur County Language timezone Country Language Available Languages Preferred Languages Country Language Country Available Languages Preferred Languages Clear Languages Default character set Not specified Y coherency mode these are x86 and 68K locale prefs Can you spot the differences 8 3 Running AROS 68K Starting with Icaros 1 5 AmiBridge doesn t need manual configuration of screen mode anymore Oliver Brunner Janus UAE coder provided a nice new tool which chooses the right resolution when AROS M68K starts up Once again this only works with AROS M68K From the user point of view it s like M68K guest windows are running in the X86 host desktop space If you re familiar with VMware or VirtualBox product just think about their Unity and Integration modes The cliboard will be shared between host and guest while parts of host filesystem will be accessible also from the guest So running the 68K environment with AROS is just matter of launching this script from AmiStart s AmiBridge menu
15. gt AmigaApps menu or by double clicking on the icon of an ADF file Notice differently from AmigaOS programs ADF files may sit anywhere on the hard drive To keep things clean however we warmly suggest you to place ADF files in extras AmiBridge adf which has been created for this purpose from day one Every time you add a new ADF disk to AmiBridge two files will be created in the AmigaApps Floppy directory a launch script with a custom name you ll be prompted for and a setting urc one with the same name of the ADF file but with the urc extension added automatically For instance if you decide to add to AmiBridge the file myamigadisk adf and you enter my game as game demo name at the end of the procedure you ll spot two new files in AmigaApps my game gt the launch script for E UAE myamigadisk adf urc the E UAE configuration file for that ADF disk A different urc file is used for every added ADF so people can easily tweak emulator settings for that ADF file only 7 1 1 Adding a single disk game demo You can add ADF files to AmigaApps menu as well either running the new ADD_ADF GAME script from AmiStarts My Software gt AmigaApps menu or by double clicking on the icon of an ADF file In the former case a file requester will ask you to locate the ADF file Let s add for instance Mr Beanbag a funny platformer freshly released of classic AGA machines A1200 A4000 Minor Choose an Amiga
