Forgive me if I don't answer for a long time, here in Ukraine we have a real War going on, with daily missiles, drones and other nasty things.

Hi mclout999,
Unfortunately, I don’t have any other hardware except for the Murmulator with VGA on which I could check this, apparently I need to check the EXECUTE command.


Hi Volhout,
Yes, probably we need to somehow make a terminal version of the manager, it's a pity that there is no pseudo-graphics.
Thank you for your useful advice, I am very grateful, I will fix this in the next release.

PS:I still need to figure out how to exit the INPUT input procedure using the ESCape button.

Hi javavi,

This may be usefull. You make your own INPUT statement in a function.
This input statement returns an empty string when ESC is pressed.
It returns the typed command when it detects you press carriage return (chr$(13))




You may also want to use Kevin's tip about using TEXT in stead of PRINT in the matrix screensaver

We hear about the war, Javavi. I can't possibly imagine what you are all going through, I have no experience of it. :(   My thoughts are with you and your country. Not my language (and I hope the forum software doesn't scramble it), but "Сподіваюся на мир, незалежність та процвітання України".

I updated a 10 year old function. Maybe useful for javavis file manager?

Javavi,

Minor update to previous function. Now you can also backspace to correct errors.

Hi Volhout,
I slightly reworked the File Manager code using your string input function, and slightly corrected errors in various places.
Thank you all for your advice and attention.
Now I need to test it.
FM111.zip

I have PicoMiteVGA 6.00.00RC12
There is some strange glitch, when viewing images or opening text files for editing, the top two lines are not visible.
Is there such a glitch on the newer version RC15?

FM v1.12    PicoMiteVGA 6.00.00RC12

FM_v112.zip
In addition to the [ESC] and [BS] keys, when editing the input field in forms, I added the [DEL] key, which completely erases the input field.
Try, check, test and write your comments here.

FM v1.12 - test @: PicoMiteHDMI MMBasic USB RP2350A Edition V6.00.00RC15

1)
>RUN, F9, LIST COMMANDS, ... 1-2 seconds later: PICO2 RESET

2)
Above the function key bar, behind the input prompt, the keys pressed only appear as “code” ... c=99, l=108, s=115, ... shouldn't the input appear here?

3)
>RUN, F9, ESC ... ESC ends the software, I would have expected the F9 menu function to end here!

4)
Input on a selected file, mp3 starts playback, jpg nothing happens? I would have expected the image to be displayed here.

@javavi: Otherwise a very successful file manager! Good luck with the finishing touches!

Hi Matthias,
Unfortunately, I only have Pico2 itself to test the PicoMite 6.00.00RС15 versions.
1) Yes, I checked, there is such a bug! If you run the command EXECUTE "list commands" which stops for scrolling, the system goes to reboot.
2) I haven't reached the input line yet, the problem may be that same command EXECUTE.
3) Everything is fine here, treat this list of commands as the same list of files, to exit press ENTER at the top when exiting the directory. (by the way, this list can be supplemented with frequently used * programs)
4) I didn't know that PicoMite can load JPG files! This part of FM can be improved by adding launching of all types of files.
Thank you for your attention, we will improve it!  

Hi javavi,

You may want to add the play of WAV files. All pico's support playing WAV files.

File manager for PicoMite

But will this also run on the CMM2?

Unlikely. Try it. :) Javavi can't sort that out, I don't think.

It will require changes for CMM2
- Port all Tiles related commands
- Force the CMM2 in 640x480 (default is 800x600).
- Check if all formatting of A:/ and B:/ is the same in CMM2
- Some media related (picture/sound) commands are different in CMM2.

Help me with advice please,
Is there any hacker way to run the command line formed in the program after its completion.
So that the program, after its completion, could pass the line to the environment for execution, similar to how the function does it by returning the line.

Hi Javavi,

The method I would use is to use a second flash slot, in combination with a file an on the A:/ drive. I am not 100% sure it would work, but this is the essence.

The helper program in the flash slot could look like this

Flash slot 3 (in case you choose 3) must contain a program that does following:


In your main program, the command you want to be executed (i.e. "LIST"), write that to a file on A:



I found a complication if you want to pass names that involve double quotes i.e. you want to execute KILL "a:/hello.world". And I have not yet found a suitible solution for my specific case.

Volhout

EDIT: after reading up, you may even be able to avoid the file on the A: drive, when you use the FLASH CHAIN 3 command, since it leaves the variables the same.
If my understanding is right you could in your main program:



With flash slot 3 code

VAR SAVE?

HI javavi,

This works (use chr$(34) to enforce quotes in the string)

Main program:

In flash slot 3


Volhout

P.S. please note previous bug report.

Yes, but using the EXECUTE command does not fully satisfy the requirement.
I would like to have full access to the command line of the MMBASIC environment.

For example, if I wanted to pass a chain of commands for execution
