00:00:02 wegster zerohero: I just need some screens to make some points re a help type system.
00:00:26 zerohero wegster: ok..?
00:01:20 wegster zerohero: can you do one (ok, two) more, one changed to the remaining two tabes, and one just type in 'fonts' into search and hit enter?
00:01:34   -!- * wegster promises to not give foody your address if you do.. ;-)
00:04:23   -!- * wegster nudges zerohero

00:05:15 zerohero argh
00:05:20 zerohero at least use x-chat
00:05:36 wegster zerohero: ? Yeah that works, although looks like your build index is busted too, no apps listed in search criteria
00:05:58 zerohero wegster: seems so...
00:06:21 wegster oh well, good enough, was hoping full index was working for you, but again, seems common problem exven across distros
00:06:25 zerohero wegster: no apps with fonts in the name
00:06:39 zerohero wegster: i get apps using other keywords tho
00:06:58 wegster but the search ccriteria limitee doesnt show 'applications' only man pgs
00:07:06 wegster or does it and you limited it?
00:08:00 zerohero ah, found the build index button even, waaaay down at the bottom :P
00:08:06 zerohero and yes, it does seem broken
00:08:13 zerohero same as menuitem, btw
00:08:55 wegster gotcha, ok, no probs.
00:08:57 wegster thx

05:03:07 nicomen me neither
05:04:09 wegster maybe a new virus? We 'need' some excitement ;-)

05:17:30 number6 yep. I am lost without magellan....
05:17:49 freaks i can dream about nice listers..
05:18:00 freaks cleaning hd easily..
05:18:03 number6 no kidding
05:18:40 freaks other filer don't make it
05:19:35 freaks i tryed lots of em.. The_filer4, diskmaster2, Ordering, dopus4, classaction, ro, and some other i can't think of
05:20:25 number6 class action has much power in file recognition features.
05:20:50 freaks greg perry finded the very good mix.. separate listers with customizable toolbars..
05:21:44 number6 Theoretically we could/should have a better file manager than any other platform.
05:22:08 freaks i don't care about the rest of the features but this.. ftp client, and other goodies were cool, but i'm mainly looking for the listers
05:22:26 number6 Same here. I'm dyin' without them.
05:22:31 freaks indeed, i tryed tons of em on linux too,
05:22:42 freaks there's even a dopus4 clone called worker
05:23:00 freaks emelfm and mc etc ..
05:23:12 number6 Anything good in that bunch?
05:23:13 freaks on linux so far, the best is plain good old MC
05:23:17 freaks shell mode
05:23:32 freaks all the other filer a big fat slow crashy stuff ;)
05:24:40 freaks yes , mc, it's a two lister filer, in shell mode, with color and ascii graphics, it does ftp, and other stuffs among text editor
05:24:54 freaks and etc..
05:25:06 freaks gnome's nautilus is a piece of shit
05:25:13 freaks kde's conqueror too
05:25:20 freaks though i prefer gnome
05:25:27 number6 I need 4 listers at minimum.
05:25:34 freaks xfce filemanager sucks
05:26:10 freaks i need to open listers at will, 1 , 2, 20... on demand
05:26:17 freaks :)
05:26:19 number6 yep
05:26:58 freaks i wonder how greg perry does it on zindoz now
05:27:14 freaks with dopus 7 or 8? can remember the version
05:27:31 number6 nor do I
05:27:36 freaks wanted to try, but that would invole touching windows, which is too painful ;)

06:28:59 nicomen ok, not that much in average though
06:29:09 nicomen but still most of it is just spam that gets rejected
06:31:04   <-- number6 has left #amigadev
06:33:51 freaks dirty spam :(
06:33:53 wegster some psam for ya ;-)
06:33:55 wegster "A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.
06:33:56 wegster The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are and how you are my hero" The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
06:33:56 wegster The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
06:33:58 wegster The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want." Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back into his pocket.
06:34:01 wegster Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
06:34:04 wegster The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool.""
06:34:20 wegster nicomen: what percentage ya think? (spam vs deliverable)
06:35:13 freaks in my case 90% spam, 10%real mail.. i get over 200 spam per day :(
06:35:33 freaks on the 2 mail account i use atm

06:35:58 freaks snot funny
06:36:03 freaks ;)
06:36:21 jahc freaks: why are you being an arse on the forums?
06:36:24 wegster sounds about right, I see about 130-150/day.
06:36:35 nicomen wegster: no idea, close to 90%
06:36:50 wegster nicomen: what about numbers? Trapping relay attempts as well?
06:36:51 freaks jahc, i don't i shout when i think i have to
06:37:04 freaks now i'm happy ;)
06:37:29 nicomen wegster: sure, but i don't count them really
06:37:31 jahc did you see my poll? :)
06:37:32 wegster freaks- ya better get over to MZ and pitch a fit there about 'censorship' then ;-)
06:37:47 wegster (aklthough I highly doubt it was targan anyways)
06:37:50 jahc wegster deleted it :(
06:38:00 wegster heh
06:38:02 freaks wegster i already did, that 's why i left morphos community
06:38:07 freaks i sold my peg
06:38:12 wegster when, recently?
06:38:33 wegster jahc - go ahead, tell him your poll's name.
06:38:35 freaks because of their politic, secret, censor, user made fools
06:38:48 freaks wegster no it was 3years ago
06:38:56 nicomen freaks: you think there isn't that in amiga community?
06:38:58 freaks i had a peg1 with mos .1.4
06:38:59 nicomen ;D
06:39:03 wegster they = who exactly? Not sure I'd lumpo 'everyone' in that.
06:39:13 freaks nicomen, a bit less i think,
06:39:27 freaks nicomen hyperion are frank and honest i think
06:39:54 nicomen but puuliz, try to stay on topic here, use #trollwars or something for mos vs aos etc.
06:40:25 freaks nicomen i left morphos few years ago, i don't particulary support it yet
06:40:42 nicomen and btw. you are on display: http://irc.utilitybase.com/amigadev/2006-02-15.txt

06:40:58 nicomen I don't care if you are green with pink dots
06:41:08 freaks :)
06:41:16 nicomen as long as you find coding for amiga clones fun and wnat to learn or share knowledge I'm fine with it
06:42:20 freaks why did you showed me this http://irc.utilitybase.com/amigadev/2006-02-15.txt ?
06:42:35 freaks it's just a log of our current chat
06:42:52 nicomen yes, yes, don't get offended
06:43:00 nicomen it was not aimed at you in partcular
06:43:05 freaks no i don't i just try to understand :)
06:43:23 freaks why did showed me this ? i don't get the point :)
06:43:39 wegster freaks: b/c nicomen decides to log the channel after several said they didn't like the idea? ;-)
06:43:47 nicomen just, that it would be nice i people in general left any political disagreements outside and that if one fails to, be aware that others might react outside the channel too
06:43:58 nicomen wegster: who said they didn't like the idea?
06:44:07   -!- * wegster coughs
06:44:26 wegster eh?
06:44:44 wegster oh, line by line? gotcha.
06:44:57 nicomen anyhow this channel is meant for educational purposes mainly, so logging it is meant to help that too
06:45:07 freaks nicomen i don't understand well, but i don't hide, what i say cause be logged, used, and whatever, i say what i think, so i'm not affraid or any thing in particular?
06:45:19 nicomen freaks: didn't say you where
06:45:23 nicomen were
06:45:28 freaks cause = can
06:45:48 freaks yes, so we agree ;)
06:45:52 nicomen good
06:46:19 nicomen my main point was that:
06:46:39 nicomen mos/aos/elephants bashing is not considered on-topic
06:46:54 freaks i don't care
06:46:55 nicomen and that if one still wants to go there, the statements will end up public
06:46:56 freaks :)
06:47:09 nicomen nothing more
06:47:10 freaks if i decide to walk off the road, i can
06:47:24 nicomen sure
06:47:42 wegster nicomen: but I don't like elephants ;-)
06:47:44 nicomen but I'd rather keep the political chit chat to a minimum to increase the usefulness of the channel
06:47:46 freaks it's not because highway exist that ppl stop walking on the grass.. i'll speak just what about i want to speak
06:48:25 nicomen sure
06:48:36 freaks iwhat's that strange attitude latly to try to "clean" amiga forums, irc, etc ?

06:49:09 wegster Ami603[w0rK]: btw, what was that screenshot from last night/today?
06:49:19 Ami603[w0rK] wegster: a OS4 native raytracer from a MOS friend ;)
06:49:21 jahc freaks: nicomen's point is that #amigadev is for development chat
06:49:29 nicomen freaks: I agree, but to a certain extent, if a forum decides to keep it clean one should at least accept it. If one can't find any place to be "unclean" there is noone stopping one from setting such thing up
06:49:34 freaks jahc ohhh :)
06:49:38 jahc freaks: we stray sometimes... I'm guilty of that.. but hes just trying to say, stay on topic

06:49:56 wegster Ami603[w0rK]: looked cool either way, was it on os4 or a mos shot?
06:50:01 freaks yes, i'll focus on topics
06:50:05 Ami603[w0rK] it was from the mos shot
06:50:08 freaks i can agree with that
06:50:42 freaks but, on the other hand, i could not tolerate my thought to be moderated because of i dunno what ;)
06:50:43 Ami603[w0rK] have to get the updated sources soon, but i already compiled a previous one with no problems
06:50:52 nicomen jahc: of course, if there isn't anything going on, I doubt anyone will get offended because wegster throws out a joke or I talk about my inner emotions regarding the abuse of ants by mountaineers
06:51:09 jahc hehe
06:51:10 Ami603[w0rK] cya later guys

06:59:16 freaks yes, i plan to learn chine (mandarin) and korean
06:59:29 freaks man, you need to know korean fOOD ! O_O
06:59:30 wegster grin@nico
06:59:34 freaks it's delicious !
07:00:19 freaks well, i've learnt japanese in few years, i think i can try either korean or chinese... trying with one, to see
07:00:37 nicomen they are similar yet totally different, no?
07:00:37 freaks korean food is: spicy vegetables grilled
07:00:44 freaks and fine meat grilled
07:00:48 freaks with cold beer
07:01:00 freaks lots of grilled meat, small chunks
07:01:10 freaks you grill yourself
07:01:18 nicomen yeah, love oriental food
07:01:21 freaks there's a grill inside the restaurant table
07:01:41 nicomen not so fond of spicy food, but combined with sour condiments, they even eachother out
07:01:51 freaks and you grill grill it's hot and spicy and then you have the cold beer .. oh mY O_o
07:02:00 nicomen hehe
07:02:08 freaks drool
07:02:23 freaks nicomen,
07:02:45 freaks i would like if it's possible to do some"advertizing,
07:02:59 nicomen getting a new girl?
07:03:06 freaks i would like to push os4 in the way to support asian language,
07:03:08 freaks nope
07:03:11 freaks ;)
07:03:25 nicomen hehe, do you need advertizing for that?
07:03:26 freaks so, i offered rogue to do the japanese translation of os4,
07:03:30 freaks yes,
07:03:36 nicomen yeah, well, talk to ATO as I said ;)
07:03:47 nicomen that translates into tactica@ really
07:03:52 nicomen -@
07:03:56 freaks he said, he will to check os4 support already present for thoses matters
07:04:12 freaks then answer me
07:04:15 nicomen true, but those guys work all day long and get 20 proposals every day
07:04:23 nicomen they don't even have time to say no to people ;)
07:04:41 nicomen I have no idea how the japanese support is today
07:04:45 nicomen what is needed nor what
07:04:47 freaks and i would like you all ppl to say to rogue how it's important for os4 to have multilingual support, internationnal support ;)
07:05:01 nicomen currently I guess you need a proper font and to use a kanji keymap/charcode?
07:05:30 freaks what i can say, is amipdf already support and display correctly japanese characters
07:05:44 nicomen freaks: they know it's important but I think they want to add unicode everywhere making it easier to add japanese, chinese, korean, greek etc..
07:05:56 freaks and, there's an opensource tool called jkff that enable me to diplay japanese with os4 already
07:05:57 nicomen yes, but it's independent from the system
07:06:14 nicomen you will also see unicode support in Ibrowse 2.4, but also independent from system afaik
07:06:17 freaks yes, unicode would be perfect
07:06:25 freaks yes ! yes ! yes ! :)
07:06:28 freaks great
07:06:41 freaks that's cool for os4
07:06:46 freaks and for me ;)
07:06:55 nicomen yes, but it's cooler if it's integrated into the system
07:07:02 nicomen then the various apps don't need to add it themselves
07:07:22 freaks well.. i just wanted to say that.. remembering i can do the translation, just in case someone need to know
07:07:46 wegsterOS4 nicomen: hrm, where was *nix style find available from for os4?
07:07:50 freaks and that jkff exist already in the case of japanese, but if unicode arrive then it's even better
07:08:11 freaks wegster conext menu > find ?
07:08:19 freaks context
07:08:34 wegsterOS4 freaks: naah, sane unix style cli find, not hoke aos find ;-)
07:08:49 nicomen wegsterOS4: one o the #?utils I'd guess
07:08:56 nicomen aos find is just fine really
07:09:08 wegsterOS4 nicomen: ahh right, prolly coreutils, didn't move that stuff back over..
07:09:19 freaks nicomenright, but i thought it was the contrary: ibrowse will use os function, unicode is done by the os, ibrowse just use what exist system wide
07:09:23 nicomen # dpkg -S `which find`
07:09:23 nicomen findutils: /usr/bin/find
07:09:29 wegsterOS4 nicomen: I don't recall aos masking and it seems even aos shell with 'allow * as wildcard' doesn't work properly
07:09:48 nicomen freaks: not 100% sure about the status of unicode in amigaos, I'd guess it's minimal anyhow
07:10:07 freaks on ibrowse website, they said so iirc
07:10:14 freaks when they spoke about 2.4
07:10:20 nicomen wegsterOS4: correct as * is used in the globbing, ie translation from shell to command, and not in the matchpattern() call from inside find
07:10:23   <-- jahc has quit (Client closed connection)
07:10:24 nicomen (I'd guess)
07:10:36 nicomen freaks: ok, could well be, maybe the reason why it's not out yet ;)
07:10:44 freaks they said, ib will use os4 unicode function to support multilingual websites
07:10:50 freaks yes
07:10:51 nicomen ok, good
07:10:55 freaks iirc
07:11:11 freaks i can make sure
07:11:12 nicomen wegsterOS4: I could help you translate the unix find sytax to amiga one if you want
07:11:22 wegsterOS4 nicomen: sure go fir it.

07:14:12 wegsterOS4 or guessing like xrags plus string manipulation for cmd?
07:15:12 nicomen try %m or %p in combination
07:15:20 nicomen %n seems to be the filename alone
07:15:31 nicomen I'm looking for a doc on the syntax

07:17:20 wegsterOS4 ok, but piping to execute doesn't work here anyways.
07:18:37 nicomen seemed to work in your output?
07:18:54 nicomen find name #?.a lformat "list %p/%n" | execute in:
07:20:22 wegster ahh ok, path = *nix dirname equiv
07:21:02 wegsterOS4 the | execute IN" doesn't
07:21:36 wegsterOS4 actually the pattern match seems hokey even:
07:21:38 wegsterOS4 find name #?.a lformat "list %n" | execute
07:21:40 wegsterOS4 ehh
07:21:50 wegsterOS4 11.Workbench:> find name #?.a lformat "list %p/%n"

07:21:58 nicomen oops
07:22:03 nicomen remove the slash
07:22:11 nicomen and it's "execute in:"
07:22:17 nicomen as you see your first attempt worked
07:22:44 wegsterOS4 ahh interesting, doesn't like the double slash
07:25:05 wegsterOS4 ahh hell, ans simple redirects even hokey? dump above output to file?
07:25:08 wegsterOS4 nicomen: ?
07:25:21 nicomen ?
