- The following bugs have been fixed since Indigo Magic
- Desktop Release 6.3:
-
-
- +o In the IRIX 6.3 for O2 R10000 release, it's possible to
- not be able to turn off the screen power saver from the
- ScreenSaver customization panel. This has been fixed
- in IRIX 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE. To work
- around this in IRIX 6.3 only, edit (as root) the file
- /_v_a_r/_X_1_1/_x_d_m/_X_s_e_s_s_i_o_n._d_t and change the definition of
- ssssssssaaaavvvveeeerrrrrrrreeeessssoooouuuurrrrcccceeeessss from $_H_O_M_E/$_d_o_t_d_e_s_k_t_o_p/_0._0/_S_c_r_e_e_n_S_a_v_e_r
- to $_H_O_M_E/$_d_o_t_d_e_s_k_t_o_p/_S_c_r_e_e_n_S_a_v_e_r. On your subsequent
- login, you may need to press the Esc key once to gain
- input control.
-
-
- +o When an application has exclusive use of a device (such
- as a CD-ROM drive), the device's icon now indicates
- that it is busy.
-
-
- +o In previous releases, it was possible occasionally for
- a program to run at the same time as the visual login
- program _c_l_o_g_i_n(_1). The possibility of this happening
- has been greatly reduced.
-
-
- +o It's now easier to share (via NFS) or change
- permissions of a file or directory whose reference icon
- is on the desktop.
-
-
- +o In the Disk Panel, the "Mount every time the system
- starts" option now works properly.
-
-
- +o Applications that link with the old IRIX 6.2 desktop
- libraries now can use these additional features
- (incorporated from patch 1652): Images viewed in
- gallery mode will update as soon as the underlying
- image updates. Zooming in a dirview will center around
- the (first) selected icon or around the center of the
- dirview. A single image may be associated with an
- arbitrary file. The default open behavior for directory
- icons is Open in Place (Alt-open will open the
- directory's contents into a new dirview). Iconbook and
- searchbook no longer create files with 666 permissions
- under the $_H_O_M_E/._d_e_s_k_t_o_p-`_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e` directory.

-
-
- +o Some performance enhancements were made so it takes
- less time for disk icons to appear on the desktop and
- for disk information to appear in the Disk Manager and
- Disk Panel.
-
-
- +o The desktop now mounts and unmounts option drives with
- an EFS filesystem.
-
-
- +o Some problems that could cause the Desktop Message Bus
- (DMB) to hang are now fixed. (Typically clients would
- see messages like this: "dmb[12345]: authChannel:
- failed to receive reply".)
-
-
- +o A problem that sometimes caused Eject not to work for
- tape drives has been fixed.
-
-
- +o The remote toolchest no longer presents entries for
- changing sounds or logging out, as those options do not
- pertain on remote systems.
-
-
- +o The _t_e_l_l_d_e_s_k_t_o_p(_1) ooooppppeeeennnnddddiiiirrrr command now works with
- pathnames containing embedded spaces. The syntax is
- tttteeeellllllllddddeeeesssskkkkttttoooopppp ''''ooooppppeeeennnnddddiiiirrrr """"////_n_a_m_e _w_i_t_h _s_p_a_c_e_s""""''''.
-
-
- +o In the screensaver panel in IRIX 6.4, only three GL
- savers were available. The full list has been restored
- in IRIX 6.4 for Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE.
-
-
- +o When a script is running, its icon now indicates that
- state.
