CBM-Command 2010-05-09 - Now Copies Files!
in [Commodore]

From: Payton Byrd on 9 May 2010 02:22 CBM-Command is rapidly maturing and is now fully featured as a file manager with the ability to copy multiple files between drives in a batch. And since it uses all kernel routines to do its work it takes advantage of whatever disk speeder you may be using such as JiffyDOS (performance is of course determined by compatible devices). As always, you can download the latest release in a D64 containing both the C64 and C128 versions from the CBM-Command website on Codeplex: http://cbmcommand.codeplex.com PS. Screenshots are available at the URL above.
From: Joe Forster/STA on 9 May 2010 09:08 Give it a try with the screen split into panels horizontally rather than vertically. Vertically separated panels were fine in the DOS days when file names were short. With today's long file names in Windows and Unix, tricks are needed to see the complete file name: allow shifting file names left and right, inflating the panel width etc. On the VIC's 40-column screen, with borders around the panels, you're left with 18 characters per line in each panel and 16 of them are needed for the file name. An alternative solution would be displaying the file type (1 character), a separator space or whatever (1 character) and the full file name (16 characters) by default in the panel. Perhaps, the file size (of the file currently under the panel cursor) could be displayed somewhere else, e.g. in a mini status at the bottom of the panel.

I think you should take a look at the software to see how I worked around this problem. Also, the C128 version doesn't have this issue at all.

Testing with vice X64 & 2 drives (1541, device 8 and 9) C=+L, select drive 8 C=+R, select drive 9 In drive 8 there is cbmcommand.d64 attached, in drive 9 a random d64 containing various games and files. Cursor right to go in right panel, shift-space to tag a file (the ">" disappears, the whole program suffers a lot for redrawing windows even by moving the cursor, in this case it misses a ">" redraw until i move the cursor again) CTRL+C, does nothing, no copy process is activated. C=+C just opens the Command submenu. Cursor Left and let's retry on the left panel. Shift-space to tag one of the "cbmcomma...", CTRL+C, something starts in the drives, then suddenly L... F...
