Introducing CBM-Command
in [Commodore]
|
From: Payton Byrd on 1 May 2010 23:14 OK, what is it? It's a Norton-Commander-like file manager for the c64 and c128 (has separate binaries for each platform). You can read all the details as well as download the D64 release and all the source code at: <http://cbmcommand.codeplex.com/> I'm looking for any and all feedback. This is a VERY rough first public alpha version. At best it's a toy right now, but it's been growing by leaps and bounds over the last two weeks and I'm sure will grow a lot more over the coming weeks. Thanks for your time!

The first suggestion is you need some more docs - I've downloaded and booted the d64 in Vice, and am now looking at a screen that says: LEFT FILE OPTIONS SCREEN RIGHT Screen Size 40,25 with no idea what to do next :-)

You use the C= key with the menu names to bring up the menus, such as C= L for the left menu, etc.
From: Pinacolada on 2 May 2010 13:12 Bug: Use cursor keys, they show up in the status bar. Now access menus with C= key combinations. Menu text is gibberish: /6_Me /6,Me Question: How do you choose the drive number after you've selected "Left drive..."? Return seems to do nothing, and I can't escape from that menu, which forces a reboot/SYS 2061.

Menu text is gibberish: > > /6_Me /6,Me This happens when you try to run the application a second time after it crashes or you quit from it. The keys showing up in the status bar is debug code for me to know when a key was pressed outside the context of a menu. That'll become the DOS Shell hook at a later date. > > Question: > > How do you choose the drive number after you've selected "Left > drive..."?

To load a drive you hit C= L/R (left or right), then select "Drive" and that brings up the list of drives. Once you select a drive then either the left panel or right panel (depending on which menu was chosen) is populated with the directory of that drive. I know, things in this program work quite differently than most C= software. I'm trying to stick to modern conventions as much as possible. |
