Short: *Fix* for SViewIV and Library 25.x Author: Andreas R. Kleinert Uploader: info ar-kleinert de Type: gfx/misc Version: 9.31 (6.1.2008) Replaces: gfx/misc/SvIVFix930.lha, gfx/misc/SvIVFix930b.lha, gfx/misc/SvIVFix930c.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.4; ppc-morphos >= 1.4.5 *** Fix & Extension for SViewIV *** *** also applies to ImageEngineer, PMPro, et. al. *** This is a fix & extension for SViewIV V9.30, which solves the following issues: - enforcer hits caused by "About" window under MorphOS and maybe OS4 (bugfix applied in autogenerated code) => patched SViewIV binary V9.31 - SView5 and SViewIV cannot be used together under MorphOS (and maybe OS 4) which also affects PMPro and its PPC modules as well as ImageEngineer. (***) => put SVInit to s:user-startup - SView-Library (thus SViewIV et. al.) loader modules may still contain various bugs not fixed so far. Workaround: use SView5 loaders (not savers) also from within SuperView-Library. (*) (**) => install SView5.svobject - Long loading times. => install updated superview/support.library with increased priority Also includes the former V9.30 fix (locale folder with spanish translations for SViewIV). (*) original SV 68k/PPC loaders will only be used for saving then, or for device operations (print, scan, etc.) - operators and display drivers are not affected in any way. (**) these two libraries are not compatible, so this is not different from e.g. using Datatypes from within SuperView-Library; just here another library is used instead... no additional benefits; file type information gets lost. (***) Looks like a bug in MorphOS Exec or JIT - but I really do not want to waste time with debugging this any further. If SView5 is loaded first both work - otherwise SView5 works only until SViewIV is loaded. Obviously something is trashed badly, but silently. I have tested this with and without SViewIV PPC modules. WARNING: NO WARRANTY/RELIABILITY FOR ANYTHING IS GIVEN/TAKEN. IF IT DOES NOT WORK, PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN BUT UNINSTALL AGAIN. PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS PRIOR INSTALLATION. ------------------------------------------------------ Installation Instructions: What to install: 1. First install SvIV-1.lha to SvIV-8.lha (V9.30) 2. Then install included SvIV and SV-Lib fixes. 3. Optionally install SVInit (SV-Lib folder). How to install: 1. Copy the included SViewIV binary (68000 or 030) into your installed SViewIV directory as SViewIV, also the updated spanish locales if wanted. 2. Update superview/support.library in your libs: folder with the included one (either 68030 or normal version). 3. Copy the included SView5.svobject into your libs:svobjects/ directory. (Skip this step if you do not want SuperView-Library to utilize SView5-Library loader modules.) 4. Copy the included SVInit tool to C: and add it to your s:user-startup as follows: SVInit >NIL:
