Hi Vadim,
Jim said that nicely!

I've been tinkering with the File Manager a bit more.

Edit (Due to the significant changes, I have renamed the Input function in v02266 to "LEditx$()".):
FMC02266.Music.zip

The following changes have been made:

1. The MP3 player now works perfectly (AFAIK). (Many thanks to Peter for the improved error handling!). This required reducing the maximum number of file items per panel to 350.

2. The user menu (F9) has been redesigned.

3. Drive selection for the C drive is ready. However, since some functions are still missing or faulty in version 6.0202b7, USB drive selection is not yet available.

4. The input routine has been completely redesigned and now allows the input of 254 characters across multiple lines with full cursor control. This prepares for path names with more than 63 characters in newer MMBasic versions. However, this has made the function slightly more complex.

5. A new file comparison function (Alt+F8) highlights files (or rather, their filenames) that already exist in the other panel or folder. (Experimental)

6. The new "Tree Info" function (Alt+F7) provides information about the number and size of files in a directory and its subdirectories. (Experimental)

7. The counting of selected file sizes is disabled when the number of selected files exceeds SMax (this can be set as desired). The number of selected files is then displayed as "-1".

8. Audio playback is paused with one click of ESC and stopped with two clicks in quick succession.

In addition, there are many minor bug fixes and improvements, as well as some general maintenance. Redundant code has been removed.

This version has been tested with PicoMite V 6.02.02B7.

Regards
Michael
