AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

  +
* Copy softlinks as softlinks by recreating the softlinks on the target.
  +
* Copy softlinks by following the links and copy the files and directories.
  +
* Ignore all links completely, including hardlinks.
  +
* Specify sub-directories that should be excluded from the backup.
  +

  +
  +
CPU Watcher is a simple tool to monitor CPU usage, free memory and network traffic.
  +
  +
It works by launching its own idling task (called "Uuno") at priority -127. Task's execution time is measured and the system load is determined, based on how much time "Uuno" got during a time period (which is 1 second).
  +
  +
Current features include:
  +
  +
* Displays the last 5 minutes of CPU usage (green graph)
  +
  +
* Displays the percentage of free public memory (red graph), virtual memory (blue graph) and video memory (light blue graph)
  +
  +
* Displays network traffic (activated with 'n' key), upload speed (upper, red graph), download speed (lower, green graph), current Kilobyte values are shown in Screen's titlebar as well as graphs show the current / peak * 100% value.

NoWinED is a MUI-based TextEditor that can handle more files simultaneously, using different "pages" for each file. The fact that it is impossible to find a MUI TextEditor on Amiga powerful enough to be used instead of Notepad/Editpad and other editors does not have a reason.
  +
  +
Features:
  +
  +
* Handling of multiple files through tabs that can be managed via titleButtons, a list, and/or an useful context menu which you can open if you click with right mouse button on right scroll titlebutton (this one appears when it's necessary)
  +
* Context menus
  +
* Search and replace module
  +
* Search into opened files module
  +
* File Drag & Drop: dragging one or more files on the NoWinED list the files will be opened in new tabs, dragging a file on a page will open it on the current page. Finally dragging more files on a tab will open the first file in the current tab, and the others in new pages (AROS lacks Drag & Drop)
  +
* Basic texteditor features (C&P, select all, Undo, Redo, etc...).
  +
* Usage from keyboard supported
  +
* UTF support (you can load UTF files and export UTF with/without BOM or ASCII)
  +
* CR/LF/CR+LF support (you can load any kind of txt file and export text with LF/CR/CR+LF)
  +
* Wrapping process of your text at the column you want
  +
* Backup of all opened files (you can set time between a backup process and another one)

* AutoSave of current file (you can set time between a autosave process and another one)

AmiCygnix is a fully featured release of the X Windows Environment.

The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on Unix or Linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is split into a server and in a client part, which is typical for Unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows.

What is the advantage to have this on an AmigaOS system? It makes it easier to port open source software to AmigaOS, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes.

With AmiCygnix you can use applications, such as AbiWord, Gnumeric, Gimp and Pidgin. Many more applications are also available which run under the AmiCygnix.

AmiSystemRestore

Image Source: OS4Depot webpage












AmiSystemRestore aims to give AmigaOS4 a similar ability to Window's very useful System Restore. What it does is create Restore Points, which act as snapshots of your SYS: partition (where the OS is stored). If anything changes on your SYS: partition, then you can roll it back to the time of the snapshot.

Why would you want to undo changes to your SYS: partition? Well, if you install a new program (or update an existing one), you have no idea if any new libraries (or other changes) will have problems that may break existing programs. A badly written installer might even replace libraries (etc) with older versions! AmiSystemRestore allows you to undo ALL recent changes (whether or not they were done by the installer), and return SYS: to an earlier point in time. Knowledgeable users can be more selective about which changes are undone, with the warning that they need to know what they are doing!

If you are installing something using AmiUpdate or the official Installer system, then AmiSystemRestore will automatically create Restore Points for you (and Ringhio messages should notify you of this).
