Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

The file manager/explorer now has E or F4 to open the selected BAS file in the editor.
F1 or F2 in the editor returns you to FE where <enter> will run the modified file.

We seem to have lost the colour text in mode 1 on the wide screens.
My preferred settings are mode 3 and font 7.

@John,

Much more code lines with INKEY$

Quite possibly, but may well not be wise to screw up the existing meaning of INPUT.

Jim: Is that a bug report or something at your end?
Mode 1 in wide screen (and 1024) sets the tileheight to 24. If you are using a different sized text you need to reset the tile height (TILE HEIGHT command)

Not a bug report as such, I just needed to ask you if something had changed for font 1 matching the tiles.

Thanks for the info, I will fix at my end.

OK
back to mode 1, font 1 and colour

FEpico.zip

mode 3 is better if you are trying to view images.

Just a suggestion Jim?
Could the info box be banished by moving the cursor off the current file or by using Esc?

Also, probably nothing to be done about it, but attempting to play mp3 files brings up an error. Wav files play ok. This is in Mode 1 / 640x480.

Yes, I did intended to go back to that one.

I haven't tried to test all of the audio types - lack of any audio on my very basic pico is the main reason. They all worked when originally used on a CMM2.

Likewise, not all of the image types are supported. I left the code in just in case Peter surprises us (again).

  electricat said  Peter,

While working on File manager and making improvements there and there  I wanted make elegant way escape after INPUT, val$ has started and waits for user input.

But what if user decides do not continue with INPUT or started INPUT dialog accidentally and wants escape?

Elegant and usual way for user I would see by pressing ESC key.

So if INPUT command would return and rise ERROR instantly after ESC key was pressed we could catch it and decide how to continue program.

I see this as elegant enough way leave INPUT (not by entering multiple values until finished for example)


This routine written some time ago might be a starting point.
See this routine for Line Input routine

FEpico.zip

escape now clears the file info box

mp3 info now works.

I think play mp3 requires a VS1053 in use. Using the PWM audio results in an error

F9 now starts FE from the command line on my system. :)

I know this system can play mp3s 'cos I've done it (PWM audio & Pico 2). I didn't have a program and a load of variables in though, which may have something to do with it. I don't think the problem is with FE itself. I've not looked. Have you set up a framebuffer somewhere?

Playing a MP3 via PWM uses a 146K of memory which leaves just 34K on the HDMI and VGA versions. If the running program is using more than 34K then the PLAY MP3 command will fail - simples

Is it possible to create a small player program that would accept a parameter string as input? This program could be called from the main program using the RUN command with a parameter string (for example, a file name) which would free up RAM. And this player, having played the composition, could in turn call the RUN main program?

Too close for comfort when trying to play mp3s directly.

Yes, I could shell out to a short player but not sure if it is trying to do too much.
I will think about it.

Maybe...
RUN "mp3player","filename.mp3"
should do that.
Complete it with RUN the file manager. I assume you'll end up on the same drive as the mp3 file unless you make it a full filespec.
You retrieve the argument using MM.CMDLINE$


I'd better finish the Delta design - that has a VS1053. :)  Maybe in the next couple of days.

Thanks Mick,
Yes, this method works, although it does introduce a little delay for program overloading.

Hi Jim,
Were you aware of this
  Quote  Adds support for bit 2 in the flag parameter for the SORT command when sorting strings. By default, empty string sorts first (normal sort) and last (reverse sort).
Setting bit 2 in the flag field reverses this: empty string sort last (normal sort) and first (reverse sort).

Which means you don't now need to do the string swapping you were doing.

 Sort fList$(),,4
 For z = 0 To mf-1
'   fList$(z)= fList$(z+maxFiles+1-mf)
   fCol(z) = dispCol(fList$(z))
 Next z
'  For z = mf To maxFiles
'    fList$(z)= ""
'  Next z
 refreshDisplay
End Sub

Thanks for all of your hard work on this file manager, do you anticipate implementing a move file function, currently I believe I have to first do a copy, then kill the original file?
Regards, Kevin.

As mentioned in the first post of this thread, I wrote the file manager 4 years ago for the CMM2 and was interested in how well it ported. There are a lot of changes that could be made due to advances in the firmware but that defeats the purpose of the experiment.

Not just you. It is traditional for threads to go off track...
