Short: Random Backdrops Picture with DirOpus Author: gene@stardate.westfalen.de(sebastian eichholz) Uploader: gene stardate westfalen de(sebastian eichholz) Type: util/dopus Architecture: m68k-amigaos Insert this (shell-only) command into your startup-sequence and enjoy the random backdrop-picture :-) It selects a random file from a given directory and simply copies it to the given destination-file (your backdrop-pic). In fact, you can use this command for the original Workbench as well (if you do not prefer DirOpus). Usage: RandomPattern {source-dir} {target-file} source-dir: A directory where you have stored all possible pictures, e.g. "iff:backdrops/" target-file: THE file you have selected in DirOpus (or WBpattern) as your backdrop picture, e.g. "Dopus5:backdrop.pic" My startup-sequence contains this line: random.exe iff:backgrounds/ dopus5:g_background.jpg (well, in real it is in the user-startup, you can place it in your startup-sequence OR the user-startup) The programm was written with BlitzBasic in a couple of minutes... Please write any bugs (are there any in this really SHORT program?) or suggestions to me. Have Fun!
