Iconbar module fails to initialise at system start when a Territory other than UK is configured
| Reported by: | Dick Tanis (1648) | Severity: | Normal |
| Part: | RISC OS: Module | Release: | |
| Milestone: | Status | Fixed |
Details by Dick Tanis (1648):
When configuring the machine to another Territory (for example the Netherlands, *Configure Territory 34) at system start the initialisation of the Iconbar module generates the error: File ‘IconBar:Messages’ not found and becomes a dormant module. Reinitialising the module later in $.!Boot give no errors. This problem has been introduced when IconBar was put in ROM (RISC OS 3.6 or higher).

Checked the source of the Iconbar module and found the bug. Look like the function objmodule_ensure_path is case sensitive when another territory is set and the modules are initialised at system start. So the easiest solution is to change the char b in the string Resources:$.Resources.Iconbar to a capitital B in line 182 of the file IconBar.c.main. Can some from the rool team change this? Thank in advance.

- Status changed from Open to Fixed
As ‘Iconbar’ is its registered SWI chunk name I went with changing the resourcefs directory name to be lowercase. There are 3 cases to consider
- Old ROMs with ‘IconBar’ => still wont work!
- New ROMs with ‘Iconbar’ => should now work
- RAM loading modules => should still work since they register local copies of their messages at run time
Fixed in BuildSys-5_99.
