  1. Is it true that RAWBInfo doesn't work correctly with OS 3.5 as was mentioned in the original Amiga Inc. OS 3.5 FAQ?

  2. The picture viewer Visage doesn't work anymore when started from the icon with OS 3.5. It shows "Buffer overflow, too many arguments"?

  3. After installation of OS 3.5, the news reader "New York II" suddenly fails, can it be fixed?

  4. Why is it that drag & dropping icons onto the "Information" window requester in OS 3.5 will not work once you've run Directory Opus (or still have it running) even with the latest v5.82 patch?

  5. ImageFX and Aladdin hang during the loading process. What causes this, and is there a workaround?

Q: Is it true that RAWBInfo doesn't work correctly with OS 3.5 as was mentioned in the original Amiga Inc. OS 3.5 FAQ?
A: No. The latest RAWBInfo works fine with OS 3.5 and supports all of its features, plus a lot more that you may recall from the old "SwazInfo" utility.
2.
Q: The picture viewer Visage doesn't work anymore when started from the icon with OS 3.5. It shows "Buffer overflow, too many arguments"?
A: The cause of this problem is unknown, but just load the icon into OS 3.5's new IconEdit and save it back; that fixes the problem.
3.
Q: After installation of OS 3.5, the news reader "New York II" suddenly fails. Can it be fixed?
A: The SYS:Classes/Gadgets/getfont.gadget file has changed in OS 3.5 (which New York II is unaware of) and is the cause for the crash. Until Boing Bag 2 is available, replace getfont.gadget with an older ClassAct version and New York II will work again. [Gregory Donner/Finale Development website]

Q: Why is it that drag & dropping icons onto the "Information" window requester in OS 3.5 will not work once you've run Directory Opus (or still have it running) even with the latest v5.82 patch installed?
A: This is caused by Directory Opus patching workbench.library. GPSoftware is aware of the bug but have no plans to fix it. [Gregory Donner]
5.
Q: ImageFX and Aladdin hang during the loading process. What causes this, and is there a workaround?
A: This happens if the "AmigaOS ROM Update" isn't installed correctly. Without it, chooser.gadget v44.5 will cause ImageFX to hang when loading (it stops at the "initializing interface" part). Using the old chooser.gadget (v41.103) fixes things with ImageFX, but then ReAction programs complain that they need the new version. A correct install of the "AmigaOS ROM Update" file in DEVS: eliminates this problem. [Jody Tierney]
