Hi Vadim,
copying directories works fine, thanks! You're on the right track!

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble opening directories that contain more than RMax files. Have you checked this?

[87] FList$(RQt+1)=""
Error : Index out of bounds

I found a silly bug in my last file that affects the display of the scroll bars when there are only a small number of files.

Hi Michael,
I found this problem and seemed to have fixed it and reloaded the archive for downloading in my post, please check again by downloading the archive, maybe I will need to re-upload it..

Yes, it works as it should! Great!
I'd consider whether the user should get a notification that the list isn't completely displayed.

By the way, when I switch A: to B: (left), I get a blue left panel.

I just noticed that when I come from a subdirectory, the file cursor is correctly positioned on the subdirectory. Very good!

One more question:
What keyboard layout is actually used in Ukraine?

The blue color after switching disks also seemed to have been corrected, I don't remember now, I need to check again! But that will be a little later, now I'm a little torn and out of shape.

Hi Vadim,
the (blue panel) error has been corrected in the latest FM150. I hadn't checked it again, sorry.
Thanks for the look at the keyboard layout. I think everything must be three times as complicated for you (language, layout, fonts).

Which PicoMite keyboard setting are you using? US?

No rush to answer!

Hi Vadim,
BTW.(also as a reminder to myself)

Quote "Good design is as little design as possible."
– Dieter Rams

Quote "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I think this applies to design in general. But also to programmed code and even to lifestyle.

... And I'm sure I'll get it thrown in my face at some point.

In this new version, the page up/down mechanism has been changed. I like it better this way.
Also — apart from internal changes — the scroll bars are colored only for the active panel.

FM02049.zip

Kind regards
Michael

File Manager v1.51 VGA/HDMI +MMCC
Now the music plays continuously if several music files are selected on the panel. Something like a custom playlist, you can mark and unmark on the go, start from the desired place, but not go to other folders))

Hi Vadim,
this is just a correction. Due to a bug, I added "-1" twice.

Just a thought – I'm not currently doing anything with music or sounds on the PicoMite – wouldn't it make more sense to play entire directories?

Kind regards

Hi Vadim,

there are only a few changes for users in this version. Perhaps the file cursor movement is a bit smoother. This version displays the help screen once for new users upon startup and saves it in the Platform option.
FM02060.zip

In the main program, I've reduced the use of "TILES" to a single use. The version jump to 02060 is intended to reflect the internal changes.

I've also decided to re-sort the file list after sorting, like you do with "ArrangeByIndex." This improves interchangeability between our versions and reduces complexity to further simplify the code.

My version ("ArByIdx") is unfortunately five times slower, but it doesn't destroy the sort index. I need it for sorting the selected files. To save some memory, I use a bit-flag array of five integers. The routines for this are:

'* Set of flag-routines
test_flags
End

Sub Clr_Flag(F() As integer,Nr)
F(Nr\64)=F(Nr\64)And Not(1 <<(Nr Mod 64))
End Sub

Sub set_Flag(F() As integer,Nr)
F(Nr\64)=F(Nr\64)Or(1 <<(Nr Mod 64))
End Sub

Sub Toggle_Flag(F() As integer,Nr)
F(Nr\64)=F(Nr\64)Xor(1 <<(Nr Mod 64))
End Sub

Function Get_Flag(F() As integer,Nr)
Get_Flag=(F(Nr\64)>>Nr Mod 64)And 1
End Function

Sub test_flags
Local integer NumberOfFlags=200
Local integer fl((NumberOfFlags\64)+1)
Print "hello"
Toggle_Flag(fl(), 134)
Print "134";Get_Flag(fl(),134)
Toggle_Flag(fl(), 134)
Print "134";Get_Flag(fl(),134)
Toggle_Flag(fl(), 134)
Print "134";Get_Flag(fl(),134)
Clr_Flag(fl(), 134)
Print "134";Get_Flag(fl(),134)
set_Flag(fl(), 134)
Print "134";Get_Flag(fl(),134)

Print
Toggle_Flag(fl(), 133)
Print "133";Get_Flag(fl(),133)
Toggle_Flag(fl(), 133)
Print "133";Get_Flag(fl(),133)
Toggle_Flag(fl(), 133)
Print "133";Get_Flag(fl(),133)
set_Flag(fl(), 130)
set_Flag(fl(), 0)
set_Flag(fl(), 199)
Print
Print "130";Get_Flag(fl(),130)
Print
For i = 0 To NumberOfFlags-1
Print Get_Flag(fl(),i);
Next
Print
Print
Timer = 0
For i = 0 To 10000

Next
tml=Timer/10
Print " "tml " uSec for an empty loop"

Timer = 0
For i = 0 To 10000
set_Flag(fl(), 130)
Next
tm=Timer
Print Tm/10 " uSec"

Print
Print MM.Info(cpuspeed)
'RP2350
End Sub

They are universal and consume almost no memory. But they aren't very fast. Set_Flag() takes about 70 uSec (RP2350). This means setting 1,000 flags takes 70ms. Of course, it's much faster if all flags are to be set or cleared at once.

My idea for a future version is a file viewer with a search function and a function for replacing strings within programs.

Kind regards
Michael
