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's a bug in Intuition. Iconify it. Click one of the gauges and select 
"Iconify" from the menu. No need to close it down.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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 :(

By: Severin (83.67.70.55)

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.
