Python program: Pymod plays Amiga modules
The Python program Pymod, released in version 1.1.1, uses PortAudio (via PyAudio) to connect to the respective audio hardware. The emulation of ProTracker's behavior goes so far that even its bugs are optionally taken into account when playing music modules.
Thanks to Python's "import" function, Pymod can also be used by other programs to play modules.

Debbie Harry portrait by Andy Warhol and picture files resurfaced
Following the discovery of further computer graphics on the Amiga of pop art icon Andy Warhol ten years ago, one of the presumably only two copies of the Debbie Harry portrait that have been printed back then has resurfaced now, created at the presentation of the Amiga 1000 in 1985 - the other one is owned by the Blondie singer herself.
Jeff Bruette, a Commodore technician at the time, who lives in the US state of Delaware and taught Andy Warhol how to use the computer, is going to sell the painting that has been hanging on his wall for almost forty years now. It also includes an original floppy disk with pictures created later by the artist.

AmigaOS 4: File manager "Dir Me Up" V4.00
Press release: Five years after its last update (amiga-news.de reported), the modern explorer for AmigaOS 4, Dir Me Up, is back in version 4... with more than 130 new features, optimizations and fixes! More than ever, it will be your faithful companion to explore, copy and transform your data...
Dir Me Up now has a new graphic theme, Retro, which smells of the original Workbench. The standard theme has been completely redesigned and redesigned accordingly. And of course, AISS aficionados will still be able to use it. The software is now also available in Portuguese, making it accessible in nine languages!
Dir Me Up now has a cache to store thumbnails in order to greatly speed up the display of photos, even in very high resolution (such as 4000x3000 for example). You can of course choose the reserved disk space, purge it or disable it if necessary. Other optimizations have been made to the icon view to make it even more pleasant to use. The internal viewer has also been extended with zoom or full-screen display options. As you can see, the visuals have greatly improved!
Copying has also been optimized, especially for small files: the gains observed range from 20 to 50%. The replacement confirmation window in the event of a conflict now allows you to replace a file only if it is more recent. Favorites management has been improved with the ability to give a personalized name to each location. The preferences window has been extended and redesigned.
The list of new features is far too long to mention them all here, but you can read an (almost) exhaustive list under the title link.
Dir Me Up is, of course, compatible with the brand-new A1222+ from A-EON Technology!
As usual, this update, free for all registered users, has been put online. To install it, just run Dir Me Up.
You can download a demo allowing (only) browsing or purchase the full version for 19,99 Euro. Dir Me Up, enhance your Amiga!
