I've just seen that Kalamatee has started to implement window positionning in Wanderer!

THANK YOU!

Such .info files with no filenames aren't described on RKM (libraries) and I didn't see any of them on original Amiga disks (Workbench and so on...).

But this book states that "If the icon is associated with a directory (WBDISK, WBDRAWER, WBGARBAGE), it needs a DrawerData structure to go with it. This structure contains an Intuition NewWindow structure [...] Workbench uses it to hold the current window position and size of the window so it will reopen in the same place." (page 352)

And page 346 you could read that "for a directory, the icon is stored in a .info file at the same level where the directory name appears (not in the directory itself). The icon type should be set to DRAWER. The icon for a disk should always be stored in a file named disk.info at the root level directory of the disk. The icon type should be set to DISK. (The icon type can be set and the icon imagery edited with the IconEdit program.)"

So it is clear that an Amiga disk named "foo" contains a file named "disk.info" at the root: here is the imagery of the icon of the disk (seen on the main Workbench window and associated with the name "foo"), and here is also the coordinates of the window to be opened when the user double-clicks on it. If the disk contains a drawer named "bar" with an icon, you can use "C:List foo:" to be able to read the content which should at least include "bar" (which is the drawer itself) and "bar.info" (which contains the drawer icon imagery (seen in the foo window on workbench screen) _and_ the coordinates of the window to be opened when the user double-clicks on this bar icon). Of course it is possible to have disks without icons, and drawers without icons: in such cases, Workbench can provide default ones (and always do for disks).

My previous post shows a way to read those informations in original Amiga icons.

Also - what will those values be if the window is unpositioned? ie when workbench should position it using defaults.

OK great - but _where_ is the drawer in questions icon that contains the info? the *.info in the parent of the drawer - or is there a .info inside the drawer?

And what about volume icons - which of ".info" and "disk.info" is the correct one to use?

AFAIK Amiga icons are handled like that:

Open them doing something like
struct DiskObject *icon = GetIconTags(PUT_YOUR_TAGS_HERE);


and then you can for example read the coordinates of the icon by
printf("Icon X coord. in drawer/on WorkBench: %ld\n",icon->do_CurrentX);
printf("Icon Y coord. in drawer/on WorkBench: %ld\n",icon->do_CurrentY);


and if it's the icon of a drawer or of a disk (then the info file contains a DrawerData structure), you can read the coordinates of the window to open when double-clicking on the icon:
printf("Left Edge position of drawer's window: %d\n",icon->do_DrawerData->dd_NewWindow.LeftEdge);
printf("Top Edge position of drawer's window:  %d\n",icon->do_DrawerData->dd_NewWindow.TopEdge);
printf("Drawer's window Width:                 %d\n",icon->do_DrawerData->dd_NewWindow.Width);
printf("Drawer's window Height:                %d\n",icon->do_DrawerData->dd_NewWindow.Height);


If it's a drawer (or disk) icon designed for OS2+, it contains Flags and ViewModes in DrawerData structure that store the way icons are shown in the drawer's window: you can read it by something like:
switch(icon->do_DrawerData->dd_Flags)
{
    case 0:
        printf("Default");
        break;
    case 1:
        printf("Show only icons");
        break;
    case 2:
        printf("Show all files");
        break;
    case 3:
        printf("Show all files");
        break;
    default:
        printf("Only values between 0 an 3 should be found here");
}
switch(icon->do_DrawerData->dd_ViewModes)
{
    case 0:
        printf("Default (inherit from parent)");
        break;
    case 1:
        printf("View as icons");
        break;
    case 2:
        printf("View as text, sorted by name");
        break;
    case 3:
        printf("View as text, sorted by date");
        break;
    case 4:
        printf("View as text, sorted by size");
        break;
    case 5:
        printf("View as text, sorted by type");
        break;
    default:
        printf("Only values between 0 an 5 should be found here");
}

How does the icon tooltype get stored? Couldn't you just use the same location for the information?
