Standardized buttons for OS-level preferences or settings dialog boxes through 'Save', 'Use', and 'Cancel' provided a simple and consistent means for short- and long-term settings use. Much like the 'File' and 'Edit' menus became standard on most GUIs, Workbench implemented the concept of a 'Settings' menu designed to standardize the location for all options within an application. Also, stripping an 'application' from its counterpart icon file ('application'.info) will not render this application useless it still remains executable, it will run, only missing the (required) options and arguments delivered from workbench via icons 'tool types', e.g. For example, if you add a tool icon to a text document file, AmigaOS will tell you the file 'is not executable' or 'is not of required type' as it has no 'e'-protection-flag (AmigaDOS: Hold, Script, Pure, Archived, Read, Writeable, Executable, Deletable) nor does it have the startup header of an executable. While an icon may represent or suggest a file type, the type of the related file is specified by its very own properties, along with the restrictions(AmigaDOS: protection flags) given to thi file. App Icon: An icon which will be used as (part of) the GUI for an application Of these three file types, only 'App Icons' currently are used by any part of Workbench/AmigaOS. Device: designed for displaying information about attached devices. ![]()
