This message is mainly chatting, and I already answer (hopefully) some of my problems myself.

For some reason I cannot run the Designer with AOS4R4. Previously with R3 it showd only 1/3 of the graphics, and I read somewhere that the graphics.library were the cause. But now it is completely blocked...

The error message is "Cannot open screen, even when I previously opened it on my WB. I presume (have not had time to test) I must remove the prefs file, which still remembers the R3 settings, which are not the same as now.

But as the first message to this group, I'd like to ask if there are much things I cannot do with the older Designer, that are available with Hollywood2 scripting?

I know one answer to that as well: RTM. But I don't that much time to use, as ... gotta work again... Read you more later.

Hello ehaapani

This message is mainly chatting, and I already answer (hopefully) some of my problems myself.

For some reason I cannot run the Designer with AOS4R4. Previously with R3 it showd only 1/3 of the graphics, and I read somewhere that the graphics.library were the cause. But now it is completely blocked...

Update4 again changed the screenmode ids. If you do not want to reinstall Designer, you could edit Designer.ini with notepad to change the Screemode manually.

Here is a fragment of that file:
You can see, that my config has a $50041102 screenmode id which is Radeon 1280x1024 resolution.

You can find out screenmodeids by the os3.x getmodeid command (as far as I know it is not included with os4) or with Scout from Aminet.

But as the first message to this group, I'd like to ask if there are much things I cannot do with the older Designer, that are available with Hollywood2 scripting?

To create a quick presentation it will do the job even with the old scripting.

If you see only a part of the screen under OS4, do the following: Go to SYS:Prefs/Screens and set the first "Apply" cycle gadget in the window's right hand to "Never". Then you should always see the full screen.
