Sorry, but I hate that sort of messy string coding so no chance.

Hi Peter, maybe you'd like to - when you have some time - come up with and implement a mechanism for a command to execute and/or edit?

Please!
Kind regards
Michal

@Vadim (javavi)
I like your file manager.

Maybe you should open a separate thread for that?

Ten years ago I built my file manager for Maximites. I think that was my first MMBasich project.

Regards
Michael

EDIT:

javavi said I even started making one in MMBASIC, but it is not finished. It only does not work for editing and launching programs.

Execute "run GetCurrFullName$(PSide$)" to start a program works! The only thing missing is the return to FM. Could programmed F-keys help with this? Note: Mode=1!

what's wrong with b: files? I always connect win mmedit and mmcc.
don't use sd cards much just test them working with pico2 .
where's it all going? pico2 should be 2040 with more memory and 50% faster but what's it becoming?

We have a text file editor. :)

FILES is like DIR in DOS. In fact, MMBasic is fairly DOS-like in that respect. What it doesn't have is something like Midnight Commander built in - but then again neither does DOS. :)

I just move the SD card into my Windows box if I want to do serious file rearranging.

Lets be clear and same relates to edit. Running a new program (edit or otherwise) wipes everything else - there is nothing left to return to.
If someone want to recode MMbasic to deal with this feel free.
CMM2 has vastly more memory so can maintain context. This won't work on RP2040/RP2350 without PSRAM and PSRAM cannot be assumed available without massively restricting target H/W and in any case is V slow.

[354] Execute "Edit GetCurrFullName$(PSide$)"
Error : Invalid in a program

Thanks Peter for thinking about this.
Michael

Edit:FYI:
Executing "EDIT filename$" at the command prompt results in a reboot for me.

Haha.. nice manager!

While writing ZX Spectrum Ms. Pacman`s room editor, I wrote small file "navigator" FM_02.zip (without listing directories as I do not needed at the moment) and as I badly wanted file navigator like in CMM2, I came to workarround idea.

I saved small navigator to ->> FLASH 1 slot, then added ->> OPTION F5 FLASH RUN 1

Now, anytime I want run load program for run/editing I press F5, browse for file I need run/edit >> select&run
After Ctrl+C it can be edited, only changes must be saved using SAVE "****.bas" (F2 will not save)

This protects against file name typo errors on loading, also makes it faster switching through files I want to play with.

Hi electricat and javavi,

I combined electricat's idea with javavi's midnight commander and VOILA....
I think we have a winner. And we have a "MATRIX" screensaver. Beautiful.

Only need to use flash slot 2, since 1 and 3 are used in some games.....

Got it! I did that ten years ago too!

But I hope there's a more elegant way to edit files ...?

BTW.
User Manual MMBasic Ver 5.08.00 p81:

Wrong: This command must be run at the command prompt (not in a program).
Correct: Works also in a program!

Hi Peter,
Ref. your request for a program to reproduce the Mode 1 wide screen problem earlier. Attached is a copy of clockclock24vga it is the program which generates the images I uploaded.
Regards Kevin.

Hello
it seems that there is a bug in picomite v6 b08 rp2350 in the terminal.
if it displays a syntax error or any other, it changes the option display to 20.40
I will paste an example, maybe you can check if it is the same for you?
I apologize for my English, but it is from a translator, and best regards.

There is nothing wrong with the framebuffer copy. I think it is either a Basic program error or an error in the polygon command. If I write direct without a framebuffer I get the same thing and if I just output the bottom row of clocks I get the same thing. Please can you do more diagnostics on the Basic program itself and check whether the output to the polygon command is correct. If it is can you try and produce a simple example of where the polygon command fails

Quote it seems that there is a bug in picomite v6 b08 rp2350 in the terminal.

Looks like a bit if VGA version code is incorrectly impacting non-VGA functionality. Will look at it

Hi Peter,
First quick and dirty check, if I move the clocks down by changing line 33 to:-

Dim Integer ctry(2)=(320,480,640), r=80

I now get two lines of clocks not displaying correctly, however, as soon as the hands of the middle row get above a certain point on the screen approximately 480, they display correctly, so now the top half of the clock in the middle row works correctly, but the bottom half does not?
Hope this is a useful pointer, let me know if I can do any other testing.
Regards, Kevin.

Further,
If I do a very simple program:-

Dim c%=4
Dim x%(3)=(100,150,150,100)
Dim y%(3)=(250,250,700,700)
Polygon c%, x%(),y%(),RGB(White),RGB(White)

I get a wide vertical filled bar, good, until it gets to about y=480 when it turns into an outline only, with extraneous horizontal strips across the whole screen, and down the far left of the screen, makes no difference if Framebuffer is used or not.
Regards, Kevin.
