Customisation

Modifying files in ENVARC:mosaic

Once the basic setup is up and working, you may/will want to add your favorite picture viewer or whatever. If you do then the files in ENVARC:mosaic WILL have to be altered!

mime-types

This sorts out what type the file is, ie a jpeg or sample, and sends on a type format to the mailcap.

Example entry:        audio/x-8svx        8svx 8SVX

This assigns type x-8svx to any file *.8svx or *.8SVX.

mailcap

This matches up a file to it's relevant viewer etc.

Example entry:        audio/*; SYS:Utilities/Multiview %s PUBSCREEN=AMosaic

This says to use Multiview, it will popup on the AMosaic screen and enable you to hear any (the '*') audio file that you have a datatype for. If you want to view amigaguide files with multiview but any other text files thru ppmore then one way would be:

text/x-aguide; sys:Utilities/MultiView %s PUBSCREEN=AMosaic text/*; sys:utilities/PPMore %s

prefs

This sets up some basic prefs of mosaic, such as:

          a) download directory.

          b) RexxMacro menu entries.

NOTE: The format of this has changed slightly in v1.3beta for hotlist operation. they are no longer 'RexMacro1 or 2'. Use the following instead.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- AddToHotlist "address command 'run <>NIL: amhotlist quickadd'" JumpToHotlist "address command 'run <>NIL: amhotlist'" ----------------------------------------------------------------------

c) Cache size for images

d) Wether to download inline 'icon' images or not.

e) What 'Home Page' to use.

There are more, but RTFM. AMprefs is a useful way of modifying this file.
