Not sure what "Support standard .info files" means? Aren't those already supported by icon.library? At a first glance and in my humble opinion, those parts are (each) actually really a few lines of code to add to Workbook: - snapshot icons and windows - copy/move files represented by icons - leave out/put away [To be useful, the three previous ones need that icons can be graphically moved on the screen with the mouse (ie drag & drop), which is a lot more code to implement] - make new directory - delete files and directories - rename files and directories (to be added to the bounty) So at the end of the day and if I'm correct, the most important work needed by the bounty in its current state is: - support graphical move of the icons on the screen (graphical part of drag & drop) - implement list view (not sure if we don't have already got some code of that kind in some GadTools example somewhere) About "View/edit file information/tooltypes": currently this already works in Workbook as long as the corresponding tools from Wanderer are installed in the system, and as long as Zune is also present. So as I understand it, the bounty means that such a tool needs to be implemented in the Gadtools way... correct? If so, this is quite a few lines of code to implement too, but still doable.

Everyone knew it was impossible. Along came a fool who did not know and he did it.

Like Pascal (and like on AmigaOS) I prefer the original - which is Wanderer for me. Magellan may be the deafult-desktop on Icaros Desktop, but in fact you have the choice between Wanderer, Workbook and Magelan in preferences. And as I understand it right, on ARIX (the distribution) you will have Wanderer (2.0) as default desktop, too. So only AROS Vision is using Magellan as default AND only desktop at the moment.

Exact my opinion. BTW: Keep on your good work on Wanderer, I can?t wait to see Wanderer 2.0 (hopefully on top of the ARIX-kernel )!

@phoenixconsole - go ahead, good luck :)

IMHO there's merit in making the few small additions suggested to Workbook to make it more useful on basic m68k hardware. It also doesn't sound like it would be a huge amount of work or increase the size very much. On the other hand, Wanderer will probably always be larger, being MUI based.

hmm.. Why don't just scale down png icons and reduce colors ...
Trust me it will free up a lot of ram. Don't use any theme!!! And you are done (now)... No critic but if you would try you would see that you can reduce the ram and CPU need drastically. Just using always a alternative and pointing to it as solution is contra productive... Now I am somehow motivated to proof it : )

I welcome a less buggy and more functional Workbook, I will be satisfied when AROS can comfortably replace OS 3.9 on my Minimig ;)

The reason that Workbook was created was for the Kickstart replacement bounty. It needed to fit in the AROS ROM. Present versions of Wanderer are neither small enough nor completely ROM residentable, AFAIK. If Kalamatee's Wanderer enhancement slims down enough to meet the criteria, it would make a Workbook bounty unnecessary.
