Navigation keys:

  ENTER,  BREAK - Exit
  UP,        LEFT    - Prex page

Thank you very much! Maybe you could think over adding the remove Directory / your .rm command to the NMI-navigator?

It's possible but a bit dangerous hmm smile

Re: New NMI handler / .commands

Hi, I had to go back to the previous version, the 0.13 because with the latter when loading a trd file, I was not able to load anything again and I had to unplug the spectrum, say that I have a divmmc in a spectrum + 2 gray, a greeting and many thanks for the work you do¡¡¡

OK. Since my tests with 0.0.14 (only on Emulators SpecEmu and ZEsarUX yet) I have not discovered problems with loading another .TRD after loading a .TRD. I have to try on real hardware divMMC or can you give more details on the TRD-Images you try to load?

Hi pecador de la pradera, I test 0.14 in emulators (zesarux 6.1, fuse 1.5.0, specemu 3.1, zxspin 0.7) and physical machines (speccy 48k, speccy +, zaxon just speccy 128 and superfo zx nuvo 128) and all works ok, in fact, this version works with more TRDs than previous versions. Can you post me those TRDs to check it? God save Chiquito

Re: New NMI handler / .commands

False alarm, mate, I go back to 0.14 and I've done several tests and all ok, I do not know why the first time I installed it gave me those failures, so for now all ok with version 0.14.
thank you very much

Christmas release of NMI navigator, v.0.0.14:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2iiaubdrz1m94 … 4.zip?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bfxfbz4lqvzc … 4.zip?dl=0
Changes:

  • Max overlay size changed to 765 bytes, need recompile custom module (M).

  • Open a .TRD file now uses same method than old NMI handler. There are three options available:
    ENTER: Try to autoboot disk, if it fails then open TR-DOS Navigator with disk attached to drive A (like old NMI handler).
    CS+ENTER: Enter TR-DOS mode with disk attached to drive A (supported by the API).
    SS+ENTER: Open TR-DOS Navigator with disk attached to drive A (my method revisited).

Known problems:
My NMI navigator works on versions from v0.8.5 to v0.8.6 beta 4. On version v0.8.6 beta 5.1 load .BAS files don't work.

Now, all the TRDs that work with the old NMI navigator should work with the new one. Guys, please check it!

Another question people, do you think it is necessary to create a small manual with the instructions to install it, changes with respect to the old NMI browser, and operation with the keyboard / joystick?

Hi David, great work. Thanks.

Could you perhaps repair/ change one thing. If I have a list of files that does not cover all the page (eg. 20 files), I cannot move left/right with cursor, only up/down.

Left/right could bring me to the very start/end of the file list.

Left/right normally works if the page is full of files, but does not work if the page is not full.


I hope you know what I mean.


Thanks.

Many commands, hints and commands can only be captured when working through the complete thread.
I think a readme file would be enough.
But would have to make someone who can write good English (I can be very inaccurate).
I wish everyone a happy new year,
Günter

Hi hood, left/right keys intends to move to previous/next page, up/down keys intends to move to previous/next line, I think that is what the keys do.
I can add a new behavior to the left / right keys, that when we are on the first page and press left the cursor moves to the first element of the directory, and that when we are on the last page and press right the cursor moves to the last element of the directory.

Re: New NMI handler / .commands

Small bug report: version tested: 0.0.14
- From BASIC, call the NMI browser. Enter a directory. Press BREAK to return to BASIC
- Now .cd / from command line
- Now call the NMI browser again. The title bar will still have the directory name you entered to in the first place, while the listing will belong to the root directory, but incomplete, only first page.
- To return to a working condition, using the browser, enter a directory and then change to the root directory. This time it will show all its files again.

And a feature request:
It is possible to associate a file extension to an external command so when the user selects from the NMI browser a file with such extension, the corresponding command is executed?

Thanks!

This one is a very interesting feature,it  may allow the NMI browser to be expanded so it can launch "viewers" for many different file types.

There is very low room for NMI code, any option of this type requires a lot of it. It's possible implement it with a file of fixed with fields, [EXT][COMMAND] (a binary file). A very basic error check is possible, but everything resides in how well built the configuration file is.
