where do we post bugs? I found one where if you Run a program and it Says :

Error # 503
Basic Ex Err: e.▪
1. Quit
2. Goto Error

if you press 2 then it crashes.

Roxas: You can post them in this topic. However, please make sure you have at least Build 1207, which fixes that bug.

I know this is a small idea, but its what makes Android (which I code for) so popular, among other OS's. How about being able to change the color theme of DCS8? Split the color choices into groups:

* Bottom bar color
* Menu popup (F1, vertical text area)
* Right side scroll bar
* Icon selection background (currently just inverts colors)
* Maybe more, just have to look around


Another suggestion, is to change up the Help dialog. This gives you an idea what Im thinking.




It should be noted, that the descriptions (eg, Navigation, Run program, etc...) should be aligned vertically, as if they were in their own column. The post editor here wont let me do that, or simulate that with spaces, so you have to know what Im saying.


could probably be taken out, as that would self-explanatory. If you took the time to download and install DCS, you know what it is.


Also, this might sound minor, but on the popups, like the properties list, the DCS menu, the about dialog, and more, you should add a bit of a "shadow" to the bottom and the right (or just the right if thats all thats visible), to give the UI a little more depth. Somewhere between a 4 and 6 pixel shadow would look great. Not solid but with a gradient.

I am also curious. Im wondering if there is a way to set up an app or prgm, so that when Archive is wiped, the selected app/prgm remain. Im not sure how the wipe process is done, so Im not sure if this is even possible. If it IS, there are a TON of uses for this ability.

This looked interesting...

i think you should just remove the mouse and use arrow keys like a menu selection. This way u could get to ur stuff faster and all the things it doesnt snpa to (etc the background) is in settings that would be a lot easier

The only way I can think of would be to install a menuHook around the Memory menu that would intercept the request to clear all memory and modify its behavior.
Yes, that's what Doors CSE 8 does.

Will we still be able to use a real or virtual mouse?

No mouse. None. Zip. Zilch.

If you want a mouse, you'll probably have to write an asm add in for DCSE, IF Kerm makes SE's available again.

After all the crying by people about the mouse being in there that I saw (god knows what Kerm say in the way of emails) I'm not blaming him in the slightest about not putting it in there.

For a mouse, use whatever will be easy to click on. For example if its 8X8 it would be hard to land on it. If its too big that would not be good because you have to scroll farther to get from proceans that begin with A, past 20 programs, to a program that begins with z.

Or you can just move the selection cursor around, which works just as well.

I found a bug. When you open a program that uses imput,"Blah", and press 2nd, quit, the program doesn't quit, it stays open. The only way to fix this is to press on.

That's not a bug, that's an intentional feature.

Oh, I see. And also, can you add a feature where you can set a program to start at the startup of the calc, add a password to DCS, DCS programs, or the calculator itself?

I think I found a bug. . . When you highlight a folder and it says Size: X bytes, for me, it always says 8 bytes, the content of the title of the folder. I think this should be something like 3500 because I have a ton of programs in there.

You don't have any programs in there, they are only linked as short cuts there. The folder itself is not going to change in size.

No, he's saying the folder size should be reflective of the programs inside it.

I agree. Just like in Windows, I want to know the size of the CONTENTS of the folder.

Ive started reading up on z80 Assembler. Never dove into it before, and Im not familiar with any kind of machine coding. Im not sure I will be of much help for quite some time, but it should be fun learning a new language.

That would be very useful.

I agree with you all; the only reason I haven't implemented this is that it's rather nontrivial to compute the number of items in a folder, and it's even more nontrivial to compute the size of the items in a folder. I suppose I'll try to compute the number of top-level items in folders tonight, since I agree it would be another nice bit of polish on top of the shell.

Mackerel, Kerm agreed with something I also agreed with, that pertained to DCSE8! That's a first!
