Summary: Wait for the next release


I also have MiAmiga File.  It is seriously broken under V1.2 of the
system software.  A mouse click just about anywhere will freeze the
system.  This happens under all the alpha releases and both beta
versions.

I have contacted SoftWood about this; they haven't tested it under
V1.2 and were previously unaware of any problems.  In fact, they
suggested I make sure I send in my registration card in case they
find some bugs at a future date.  Hmph.

It is of course possible that V1.2 is messed up and not MiAmiga File,
in all fairness to SoftWood, but I have noticed (under V1.1 of the
Amiga OS) that MiAmiga File does some things that Intuition doesn't
do, so maybe the package is emulating Intuition to some degree.  I
am relatively certain that MiAmiga File is putting itself ahead of
Intuition in the input handler chain.

I suggest you wait for the production version of V1.2 before you buy
MiAmiga File.  If the then-shipping version of MiAmiga File works
under V1.2, see if you can try it at your dealer's first -- it
is a very friendly program but may not be as sophisticated as you
need.
