well the Alladin forum threads don't show up on the main page for some reason so hopefully this gets some attention

I wouldn't mind hearing about an updated version too.  I know there is only one programmer working on it so it will take some time, but it would be nice to have a new version.

The latest classic Amiga version runs great and never crashes even on newer versions of Workbench and RTG screens.  The only thing I'd like to see improved is the ability to control the aspect in the "layout" tool.  It seems that Aladdin was ideally designed for the Amiga's native screenmode "non square" pixels.  When using square pixel RTG screens, things are squashed vertically somewhat.....i.e. start up Aladdin 4d and use the Make Arc tool to create a 360 degree arc (a perfect circle).  If you are using an RTG screen the circle will be squashed vertically slightly (therefore will appear eliptical).  If you switch to a Native chipset screen (i.e. NTSC laced) the circle will look proper (no distortion).

There is an aspect setting which should fix this but it doesn't actually seem to do anything in the layout mode.

This is the only slight niggle I have with what otherwise is a great and well written application.

Note: the aspect distortion mentioned above is only apparent in the "layout" view....the actual rendered result looks fine (and there is also an aspect setting for the rendered output that will allow you to control the pixel ratio and set things to your liking - you can even make it match the slight vertical squashing of the layout screen if you want a perfect WYSIWYG setup).

Just have to say there is no such thing as "a perfect circle" :)

I would love to give you a screenshot but DiscreetFX Labs is still developing it. Amiga OS 4.x version is not far enough along yet for a sexy interface pic.

@ Pyromania

ok, can you then please give us a brief update of where the status of v6 for AmigaOS is at this point of time? (We already know from back in January that over 3000+ hours has been put into the code so surely there must be something that can be added to that statement now...& hopefully not that here has been 3001 hours now spent etc.:razz:)

Updated info when available will be posted here.

http://aladdin4d.blogspot.com/

Another 300000000000000000000000 hours have gone into it since Jan.

Just kidding!

The release pace is not exciting for me either but still lots of work for DiscreetFX Labs to do before it's ready.

well i just heard a rumour that Alladin v6 for AmigaOS4.1 will be ready by Christmas THIS YEAR!

seeing that we haven't even seen one screen shot to date I am very suspicious but hopefully DiscreetFX can confirm this here.  If no news then I've given up hope and will ask for a refund on my purchase from over 2 years ago !
