I have now done this. The version 1.24a RunImage now uses DrWimp 5.02 and
/seems/ to work OK.
I haven't been able to test exhaustively that all the buttons on all the
error boxes will do the right thing, but it should work sufficiently well
to see if the DrWimp library was a contributory factor to the failure on
the BeagleBoard.

If Chris or anyone else manages to get the other components up to speed,
please get in touch, and I'll make a new version to use as the latest.
I'm really pleased that people apart from me are still using Pic_Index and
wish to continue to do so on their new machines!

Yes John, it's really important for me - and when I add an Armini or
similar.

Just tried on my ARMini, and this version still doesn't work I live in

OK - this version has the DrWimp library updated /and/ incorporates Chris
Johnson's modified bits with which he successfully processed an album of
photos.
Available at:
http://petit.four.free.fr/picindex/download/index.php
Needs testing thoroughly on the BeagleBoard/Armini and also other machines
- just in case I've made an error in the updating of the library calls!
Fingers crossed!
John

I think you can uncross them! It's running here on ARMini, RISC OS
5.10, though I won't have time to do anything useful with it for a few
days, as there's a lot going on here at present.
Many thanks,
With best wishes,
Peter.

Absolutely correct. The optimal dose of caffeine hadn't reached the
relevant brain cell :-(

Thank you John and Chris for all the work you've done on getting this excellent utility up and running on ARM Cortex A8 Beagleboards. This is a fantastic achievement. It was only when I opened the Pic_Index directory and realised its complexity (DrWimp and all the support utilities) I had some idea of the task you guys were facing. I haven't done exhaustive testing but like others I have been able to generate a thumbnail group and used the Comment editor without problems. Again many thanks. Best regards Richard

I'm not sure what you mean here Steve - I thought the latest version of DrWimp (5.02) was ARM7 compatible. If you click DrWimp's MyApp (containing the library) it loads into Tasks without error - I've probably misunderstood so please enlighten me? Regards Richard

It is, but Pic_Index is using v. 4.40 from 2005. Since DrWimp is entirely Basic then in principle it should be ARMv7 ok anyway. The problem is that earlier versions of DrWimp are not fully compatible with later versions of RISC OS 5, due to not strictly following the PRMs for certain SWI (SYS) calls, which ROS 5 has been tightening up on, and for not handling high memory correctly, eg. Basic integers are treated as signed, ie. they take +ve and -ve values with bit 31 being the 'sign', whereas (virtual) high memory on a 512MB or 1GB machine may give pointers larger than Basics maximum int value of &7FFFFFFF, appearing to be negative instead. This can give problems with comparisons. This has given rise to a number of 'bugs' in the DrWimp library which were not noticed before. Whether these bugs are 'seen' in an app using an old DrWimp library will depend whether or not the app actually makes use of the particular bugged FN/PROC from the library, and on how much memory is fitted to the machine. -- Chris Johnson

I have had Pic_Index happily running on the ARMini this afternoon with AEs on. I successfully created an Album - process seems a bit slow, but that could be down to ChangeFSI which may be invoked. I used ARMv7 versions of the two jpeg utilities, the latest intergif, and to get Pic_Index to start up it is necessary to comment out the line in !Run that runs TestAlt. That shouldn't affect normal running. There are some other utilities that are probably not ARMv7 but they were not invoked making an album from jpegs. If anyone would like the various modules I used let me know. A past user would exercise the app a lot more than I have so far - I had to RTFM to get anywhere at all :) -- Chris Johnson

I should add that was using the original !RunImage which was linked to DrWimp 4.40. -- Chris Johnson

As in my other message, I can't run it here. I have a few busy days
coming up, but I'd like to try with these modules sometime, please.
With best wishes,
Peter.
