Fuelgauge

The last "manually" should be automaticly.

You have to add your partitions manually either using VOLUMES tooltype or using the GUI. It doesn't find any partitions manually.

It doesnt show me more than my two first of my four partitions on OS4.1.2!

Hi, I transalted it to spanish but can get your email, so I can send .ct/.catalog to you.

When you switch screenmodes/gui etc, you need to close down fuelgauge. There is no workaround for this other than killing the commodity?

Nice tool. You could include an alternative to not display a gauge below the disk icon itself but colour the icon from bottom to top as if you would look into a bottle that is 3/4 filled.

Thematic

Thanks for pointing these things out. These are fixed now.

If you set this commodity "inactive", it will start to hog cpu cycles. Or at least, upon removing it, general slowdown vanished.

Also the maximum update interval of 5 seconds is somewhat low, when the disk(s) are not being accessed. ty for listening

great!, i know Haymigga has wanted this for ages and heh its not like i will not use it as i love it so it will stay for sure!.

Keep up the good work.

thanks for update, hope you find time to work further on it as it's really everyday usefull

I found that font tooltype bug and it's fixed now. (I had a wrong command in the code.)

@Tuomas

I launched FuelGauge with Snoopy running and from the output I can tell that it has some hard-coded "FONTS:Bitstream" strings somewhere because it shows:

FuelGauge: FAIL = Open("FONTS:Bitstream .font",OLD) = [0x00000000] FuelGauge: FAIL = Open("FONTS:Bitstream .otag",OLD) = [0x00000000]

Looks like it doesn't handle the string passed by the FONT tooltype correctly as buffer still contains parts of the hard-coded string.

If you need a hand, email the source or at least the related lines to AmigaOne at theworld dot net and I'll check it out.

I have 14 partitions, 1 displays correctly, the only difference is the icon image. it might be the png icon plugin, I'll create some double image icons and see if they work ok

snapshoted mine 4 drives with no problem here... works like a charm

I've been missing this a lot! Thanks for making it as none of the old programs that did this on os3x works on os4.

perhaps add pop-up on gauge to display MB Free/Used

Tuomas:

Yes, all icons have been snapshot-ed, I noticed they didn't display the guage in the right place unless you did...

I just verified that snapshot thing.

I found out that my programs can't use DejaVu fonts and I don't know why. I'm using IDiskfont->OpenDiskFont and ta_Name=(STRPTR)FontName (<=char [1024+1]), ta_YSize=FontSize (<=uint16), ta_Style=FS_NORMAL and ta_Flags=FPF_DISKFONT.

Severin: Do you have snapshotted all your icons ? It might be that icons must be snapshotted otherwise my program can't read correct coordinates. I'm reading icon coordinates from DiskObject.do_CurrentX and DiskObject.do_CurrentY.

I hope somebody can help me a little bit.

AlexC & Tuomas:

I tried to use DejaVu Sans Condensed as the default font and it wouldn't accept it, just kept popping up an unable toload font message, I even cut'n'pasted the font name from an ASL requester to make sure I had it right :-(

Neat proggy!

The default font should probably be set to DejaVu instead as it replaces Bitstream Vera

For the commodity example, checkout AmiSnap_FX.lha as the 1.0 AmiSnap.lha doesn't show how to intercept a second launch. Though in your case you're running multiple instances so you'd have to make quite a few changes to monitor multiple volumes from a single instances, but it can be done :-)

Tuomas H:

it's a single image png icon http://www.am1ga.net/disk.info

Grab a copy of AmiSnap, the full source is included and is a commodity, so should show you how it's done...

Severin: What type of icons have you which have problems ?

I think I would make it as commodity but I want to finish some other projects first and I must learn how to make commodities first.

Quote: "This is a losy descriptopn of the file" I think losy == lousy and descriptopn == description !? It's not easy to think good descriptions and my English skills aren't good. Good suggestions are welcome !

with a few updates this one will be one of "the keepers" for sure.

Rebooted again just in case, error is still there, screen grab here: http://www.am1ga.net/iconerror.jpg

Found a bug... It doesn't work with all icon images, I just replaced mine and the guage that is set to the right is being displayed UNDER the left hand side, even after a reboot :(

Nice idea, it needs a few things though...

Either 2nd run quits or detect if the tooltypes have been changed and update itself.

The reaction is excellent but needs a way to set the width, having it the same as the icon is way too big, a quarter or eigth would be better.

This is a losy descriptopn of the file..
