#City bus 15 update
The lovely icons that you will normally see are missing, so it would be lovely to be able to see this within a future update of Workbench Explorer. It turns out that WHDLoad programs can be run from within Workbench Explorer however you will need to click on the slave file to run the game which I guess is what threw me at first. So as it stands in this current version of Workbench Explorer, WHDLoad files are not yet supported and perhaps we may see this added in a future updated release?
Sadly one limitation that I have found thus far and certainly where WHDLoad games are concerned, is that if I go into a drawer which contains a WHDLoad game, I am unable to see either the executable game file or its associated icon. If I go into my OS4 games folder for example and look for Wings Battlefield some nice icons are displayed. Or you have the option to view via icons. The drawers can be viewed in a different format by right clicking the mouse button and amending the view style to thumbnails as per the example below. Your various disk partitions are displayed in a tree like format on the left hand side of the screen and clicking on one of these partitions will then display the contents of that folder in subdivided screen on the right hand side. Workbench Explorer makes use of the Reaction GUI (Graphical User Interface) which I am a fan of as it has a nice clean look about it.

Opening up Workbench Explorer for the first time we are greeted with the following screen which can be adjusted to full screen by pressing F11. The icon resembles an open folder with the letters WE for Workbench Explorer on it. In terms of starting Workbench Explorer, you have the option to place the program in your WBStartup so this starts automatically when AmigaOS 4.1 is switched on, you also have the option to add the program as a commodity so that the keyboard shortcut of CTRL+Left Amiga+E will open this up, or you can have this sitting on the Amidock like I have below and you will see it is the third from the left on the bottom row of icons. Mark himself admits, he is not too big a fan of writing up manuals, however it is worth having a quick read of this as there are a number of useful keyboard shortcuts that you are going to want to use. The documentation comes in the Amiga Guide format Once complete it is just a case of opening up the program folder where you are greeted with the program file and also some instructions. The installation will take all of about 15-20 seconds to complete.

It is recommended that you install this on the same partition as AmigaOS 4, so DH0: however you do have the option to change this. The file is a nice and small 2MB in size and when you unpack and install the program file, you will see the installer utility. This version is numbered 1.6 and as per the previous updated version, this is very much a work in progress.

Version 5.91 also exists via a link from and users of Amikit will find a similar version sits on their Workbench, however truth be told, I am not exactly a fan of this particular update as on AmigaOS 4 especially, I find it took primitive looking, even more so than its previous version.Įnter Workbench Explorer which comes to us from Amiga X5000 user Mark Ritter and is available to download here from OS4 depot. AmigaOS 4.1 actually comes with a copy of Directory Opus 4 which I have to say is great for un-zipping multiple files I have downloaded from elsewhere and then having these unpack all the same folder, it certainly does save you time. Today I am going to take a look at an updated version of a new file browsing tool which has appeared on AmigaOS 4.1 over the past few months, Workbench Explorer.įile browsers serve an extremely useful purpose, they can be used to locate files which you may have misplaced within your Amiga and for those who are no exactly adept with Amiga DOS commands, some file browsers take out the hassle of having to remember the entry copy Work: to DH0: which of course will copy the entire contents of your Work partition to your AmigaOS 4.1 partition.įile browsers come also in different styles such as the more primitive Filer, to Diskmaster 2, to the most well-known program Directory Opus which has long been considered the King of file browsers on the Amiga.
