    Yes, sure it was insolvency, they filed some Chapter ??. To my knowledge Eastman Kodak was/is? a conglomerate in imaging and they killed off branches doing imaging among other things, if I recall correctly. As a side note, I was at our local photoshop here in Uppsala some weeks ago and a guy was buying analog film and the staff said, sorry, Kodak has ceased to produce that type of film.....

  • TrayApps und OpenWith

    Zitat von MeyerK

    To be honest - I have no clue how to do this. Where the Clock or TrayApps app end up (left or right) apparently depends on which app loads faster.... I have no clue how to work around this!

    Interesting. I tried to change the order in Geos.ini, but it did not have any effect, but maybe I am misunderstanding?

  • TrayApps und OpenWith

    I don't like to be a grumpy old man, when you have done such a nice piece of work, and put your hard effort into TrayApps. ;(


    Is it possible to change the position of the digital clock on the taskbar, so it will be to the right on the taskbar?

    Many thanks for your hard work!

  • Motif Redux (Beta)

    Great description! Now it works for me. Thank you, Locke!

  • Motif Redux (Beta)

    Zitat von MeyerK

    Actually, I couldn't reproduce the problem. The settings you mentioned work fine with Motif Redux (for me....)

    Okay, that sounds great! Maybe it is some unzipping error of Geos in Freedos? I have noticed that in raspberry pi. I will check the settings again in Geos. Let it be set as solved in Github

  • Motif Redux (Beta)

    How do I use Tray Apps in Motif Redux? I have tried to set it, but failed. Tray Apps shows in the Task bar, but no icons and nothing else happens. Can someone help me with the settings, preferable explained in "idiot mode" as I have probably made some mistake(s). Thanks in adva ce!

  • Motif Redux (Beta)

    I have made a mistake. I have set the KR-09 error i reported in Motif Redux as solved at Github by mistake. I replied in the case, but for some reason (ignorance?) I clicked it as solved. Is to possible to reverse this? I am not sure that it is solved.

    Just referring to what happened at Breadbox regarding the registered trademark GeoSafari. GeoSafari was licensed to NewDeal and it was Gene Anderson who worked with it at NewDeal. Frank was hoping that the license would be transferable to Breadbox, no it was not, and to avoid a dispute he asked the owners of the trademark, and they said no. Frank made the decision to change the name to GeoExplorer. As far as I know, the content files was okey to use. They were part of the Kodak Eastman bankcruptsy, and the images used in the content files was some sort of contratual work sold to Kodak Eastman and there was no traceable copyright of the images, if I recall correctly. Frank went on a shopping spree to buy the GeoSafari cards, to scan them and make them gameable in the GeoSafari Geos version. I think there are math games, and geography games. I don't know if Frank was able to finish the games he bought. He showed some to me and John. This is what I remember, regarding GeoSafari. I have also thought of the name and the icon. Why not calling it GeoQuiz and use the owl in the game and create an icon from the owl image?

    It is a problem with GeoSafari. The name "GeoSafari" is a brand name of products for kids. Geoworks is not affiliated with the name at all. Frank at Breadbox discovered this when we worked with the game. Frank contacted the company that holds the registered trademark "GeoSafari" and Breadbox was asked to change the name and the icon of the product. We changed it to "GeoExplorer" and the icon was changed to a rocket. I guess it can be changed again?

  • 11 pt setting in Preferences?

    Well, if this is a big issue, then we can push it for the future or even forget it😩

    I have changed it manually in geos.ini, but it seems that when I put it to 11 pt, it shows 10 pt size. I have compared it with 10 pt size, and I can't see any difference. Maybe this setting is by design, and there is no 11pt size, or there is no visual difference, that is why there is no 11 pt setting?

    I think we can leave this, at least for the moment, it is better to put the German version together and patch up Geos with the easy updates for a final release.

  • Possible to create a GlobalPC solution for the testing of ensemble?

    Is it possible to create a GlobalPC like solution for the testing of Ensemble? It is both time consuming and nagging to install the apps that is third party and not part of Ensemble, like for example Rainers apps, and all other good developer here. I think of having a type.of GEOS2000 folder for the third party apps including the necessary help files and so on, with the pointers in geos.ini in the ensemble folder?

    Yes I am lazy :)
