Workbench prefs in Amiga OS 3.2 and 3.2.1 don't work #60

Open HVR88 opened 1 year ago

Workbench Prefs will not work if installed with hstWB.

Examples of what doesn't work: Turning on/off icon borders - they will always be ON Set MagicWB colors - does nothing Screen Title Format - doesn't work, text entered is never used in title

I will look into the issue and make a fix for next release

The issue is caused by BetterWB overwriting C/IPrefs with an older version than the IPrefs provided with Amiga OS 3.2+. HstWB requires BetterWB is installed, which is why BetterWB is involved.

Copying IPrefs from Amiga OS 3.2 Workbench adf or uncompressing IPrefs from Amiga OS 3.2.1 Update3.2.1 adf with command gunzip -d df0:c/IPrefs.Z -c >dh0:c/IPrefs fixes the issue. Gunzip can be installed from https://aminet.net/package/dev/gg/gzip-bin.

After restoring IPrefs, turning borders on/off, set magicwb colors and changing screen title format works again.

Next release of HstWB Installer will include a fix for BetterWB that excludes IPrefs from being installed.
