I left one bug. When moving a whole directory, it ended in an error. This one fixes that.

Hello!

Some minor corrections:

- after taking a screenshot with "*" the listing gets refreshed.
- the viewer only starts with local screen
- On LCD the small F-key bar left its colour I forgot to set back
- tested on ILI9341.It is good usable and clear readable in Font 1 and for me, with glasses, in Font 7 as well

The program can be used in all conditions:

- save to disk or flash slot and run it
- Add your own program on top of the code and call minifm()
- delete or comment out the first 3 lines and save it as library. Call it from console or with your own application with: minifm or minifm(keypress_delay)

It is able to run with or without Option explicit

minifm_RC2.zip

Edit:

if you call it with your own program while using Option explicit you need to dim:

option explicit
dim fm_is_initialized
miniFM()

And your variable names must not conflict with the Globals minfm uses

Thanks for your nice version!

With the previous versions, I had the problem that the display with GFXterm was faulty, but now it works correctly. After each call to miniFM, I even had to call "OPTION DISPLAY 24, 80" every time so that the internal editor would display correctly again.

But: How can I start a program? When I select a program and press Return, it just displays it?!?

Hello Frank,

please find under custom variables:

Dim integer run_bas = 0 ' disable Enter to execute .bas file

and set it to 1

If you are using non VGA/HDMI then you can set Option display as default (IIRC)
