New NMI handler / .commands (Page 13 of 16)

I remember, I read somewhere about a Freeware Windows Utility which copies Files depending on their Filename. E.g. copies files from a source-directory in alphabetical order onto e.g. an empty SD-Card. So copies "AGAME.SNA", than "BGAME.SNA" and so on. But damn... can´t remember the exact name of this Utility and can´t find it yet on internet anymore.

Update: Found it..., it´s called DriveSort and you can find it here: http://www.anerty.net/software/file/DriveSort/
"DriveSort sorts the directory tables of a volume formatted in FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32. This sort orders the files on the disk according to a customizable order."

I haven´t tested it yet.

Alternatively you can try this, which is intended to copy music files "in sorted order" onto MP3-Players. But you can set filter to "All Files" and so can copy all type of files with it: AmoK Playlist Copy:
from: http://www.amok.am/de/freeware/amok_playlist_copy/

Yes Luzie, first let me extract it from the NMI browser source code, it is integrated into it

There it goes:

One thing which is yet needed to get last version v0.0.16 NMI handler working completely under esxDOS 0.8.7 is to copy old NMI.SYS (= \SYS\NMI.SYS) to filename: \sys\nmi\old087.sys to get loading of old NMI.SYS working (=via Key J) from within new NMI.SYS!

An EJECT TAP key will be a good update.

And it´s here in the README /READNMI.TXT for New NMI.SYS: http://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/downl … hp?id=9039 from the above package ( http://board.esxdos.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1370#p1370 )

    SS+I (AT)   Detach tapein

Hi david_ps,

A few months ago McLeod_ideafix created an addon to listen to .mid files on the ZX-Uno fpga.

http://www.zxuno.com/forum/viewtopic.ph … amp;t=3043

Would it be possible for a future version of your NMI browser to launch the .playmid command for files with the .mid extension?

Thank you very much for your great work.

Regarding running specific commands on specific files extensions, what about a more flexible config file system with a text file containing the extension + command to execute, something in the form of:

pt3 playpt3
stc playstc
tfm playtfm

When ENter is pressed, the extension is read, checked if it's internally supported by the browser. If not, then the text file is parsed and, if found, the appropriate command executed with the file under the cursor as a parameter.

This way one can add support when new commands for other formats are released.

I don't know if it's possible for the browser to call the command and, when the command has finished processing or is cancelled, continue where it left off, or if it's needed to exit the browser and give control to the command.

Hi david_ps. Thanks for replying and taking my suggestion into consideration.
Also glad to hear you're busy developing a more advanced system and looking forward to it. If you need beta-testers, I'll be more than happy to help.

Thanks for all your work

The custom module allows many things, including what desubikado says, but I prefer to work on a new, more powerful and flexible version.

Can be done with copying the "New File Browser for ZX-UNO"
/sys/nmi.sys to /sys/nmi/old087.sys
as described on: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/ … 834#p36834
So "New File Browser for ZX-UNO" can be started by Hotkey J from within "Dr. Slumps NMI Navigator"

and with copying the original
/sys/nmi/old087.sys to /sys/nmi.org
BEFORE the above copying
the original NMI.SYS can be loaded via "Shift + N" from within "New File Browser for ZX-UNO" (only on NMI.SYS-Version, not on .browse-DOT-command-Version!)

Thanks Luzie

Hello David, thank you for updating your NMI navigator and congratulations for your hard work.
I've been actively following bob_fossil's new browser in the Spectrum Computing Forums and I love the 42 column mode he uses, in my opinion it's much more readable than the 64 column mode. I suppose it would be a lot of work, but could you just think aboout it?
