I recently acquired a full version of your distro and noticed that despite recent update to v8.0 AmiSSL was not updated to latest 5.19 (AFAIK you still have 5.18 in your distro). https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/AmiSSL-v5-OS3

Also why using ancient version 2.0 of Picasso96? There is free official release 2.1c or updated 2.1e, also free.

There is also newer DOpus 4.17 available.

Can you update at least AmiSSL and Picasso96 in next release please?

Also adding new themes is not clearly explained. I had a problem to figure out how to do it. I've noticed that import function can only add one theme at the time. Can you make it accept multiple themes to be added? There is currently 45 additional themes. It would be nice to be able to add all of them in one go, not one by one.

Thanks for your input..

AmiSSL was released just when I already gone to next stage in testing/preparing a distro release, you can just run the installer your self, it won't hurt the 32se in anyway.

~~I don't think the newer Picasso96 adds anything useful, it has support for more gfx cards, but I'll check it. Don't liked it before cause it's not official.~~

I now remember why I stick with Picasso96 2.0, the hacked versions does not run well... try run SysInfo...white screen

I think I tried one or several betas of Dopus before and they not stable or had bug, I'm 99,99% using filer,

more modern but lacks some nice functions that Dopus has ...and Filer better in some areas ;)

I've looked in Instructions on Theme import, it does need some more clarification. install many Themes at same time..I'll think about it

TIP.

You don't need to wait for me to update 3rd party apps, you can install/update them yourself if you are in need for them

Thank you for prompt answer.
Picasso96 2.1c and 2.1e is not "hacked" but "updated" versions. Anyway I've already installed 2.1e with no issues.
Didn't noticed sysinfo problem either with winuae nor real Amiga that I'm using your distro. (I'm not using winuae that often really).
I've already updated AmiSSL and added RoadShow to be able to connect to internet and your distro works quite well under 68060 and PicassoIV gfx card. Even big themes like "star wars" or "back to the future". Only needed to add faster datatypes (WarpDT) to speed up decoding process of background pics and now it works perfect.

I still have some issues trying to configure dock - is there any separate config app or config text file for dock?

Keep up the good work. And please consider adding possibility to import many themes at the same time.

thanks, select user guide in dock menu and you can from there access settings file, it's linked in AmigaGuide, just remember to save it and reboot
