@sleuthgames But I was strictly referring to the Workbench file management interface: slow at loading icons one at a time, no docks to launch apps, blocking file copying, limited options for selecting files... This is why alternative file managers were created.

@dirkdierickx @beryl_david And it's still actively developed! I'll try it out.

@dirkdierickx Yeah, the complete UI redesign was also hard for me to get used to.

I stopped using dopus4 after I configured dopus5 to open new lister windows by just double-clicking on an empty area of the workbench screen.

I wish it had a way to "bind" two listers side by side, to sort of recreate the dopus4 experience. I would usually arrange two windows this way.

@bjonte @didier WAT? Are we still talking about MUI, Magic User Interface?

Directory Opus, an awesome file manager, progressed from shareware to boxed commercial software. The author was Jonathan Potter, an Australian developer.

Directory Opus 5 could fully replace the old and slow Workbench interface.

You could use MUI for free, but customizing the appearance required paying a shareware fee (or a crack).

I registered MUI and many other shareware tools even when I was still a student because I believed in supporting the ecosystem of freelance Amiga developers :amiga:

Magic User Interface (MUI) was an advanced GUI library with fully resizable layout and advanced theming. Similar features came to Windows and MacOS several years later.

This is the original Workbench 3.0 disk set which came with my Amiga 4000.

I couldn't find the user manuals, which were probably in Italian :-(

You can load pizza al taglio with all sorts of delicious ingredients, but when the dough is good, my favorite cuts are the simplest: margherita and marinara, which is vegan.

This time, I tried that one with zucchini and tomatoes on the left of the marinara 😋

So many varieties of "pizza al taglio" 😋

Literally, it means "pizza by the cut". It's commonly found in bakeries, but this is a specialized shop.

@penguin42 but I'd be ok with that 🙂

@tagomago I was the kind of kid who'd sit in a corner while everyone else is dancing at the disco 🤓

The outdoors market of San Lorenzo.

Various types of crostini with truffle 😋

Seen at Mercato Centrale in #Firenze #Italia

I bought one with "pappa al pomodoro" and they're warming it up with a kitchen knife jammed into the grill to keep it open 😂

Also inside this market, I found this fantastic shop of cheese and cured meats.

They have various types of Pecorino Toscano, my favorite cheese. I like it more aged, like the one in the front middle-right.

This particular one is described as "impagliato" (covered in hay), something I had never seen before.

The second floor of the Mercato Centrale is a food court with small outlets specializing in pasta, pizza, panini, wines, aperitifs and so on...
