hi!! sorry, i cannot reproduce what exactly are you doing in "2. make descriptions"? Stefan / AH

Hi Benes. Unfortunately the Reanimator feature was never ported to 32-bit. maybe it is not much work to "reanimate" the Reanimator, but my todo list is so very long that i cannot work on something like this at the moment sorry. Stefan / AH PS: if there's someone who wants to work on porting the disk format, reanimator, disk editor or modem/terminal code to 32-bit, please let me know

Hi FDF! there is no real difference between beta releases and official releases (and official releases are a bit more bug free, but no guarantee...) except the location where they appear on the homepage this will hopefully change in future please try the latest version and tell me if it also works for you as well (a lot of changes since that time!) Stefan / AH

Hi FDF! thanks a lot now i dont have to look for the bug myself :) Stefan / AH PS: why are you using v4000?

hi everyone! a not so small release today whatsnew: [*] russian resources update (GPFault) [+] added *.LUA highlight data {Z} [*] added asf,asx,wmv,wma formats to video highlight groups (Necromancer) -> groupsfm [+] added Oracle SQL to extension file TURBOVISION: VIEWS/DIALOGS/MENUS/OBJECTS [-] fixed several problems with hexline drawing [A] * when marking text not from pos 0 offset was not corrected (GPFault) * long hexinputlines showed byte view at the end of the line (GPFault) * right cutting indicator was drawn based on a wrong string size -> dialogs.THexLine.Draw FILE PANEL [-] displaying more than just a filename, one file entry longer than panel size and then moving view to see data at the end, couldn't use the mouse to move the name column dividers (GPFault) [DNOC] -> flpanelx.CommandHandle.evMouseDown didn't use DeltaX [-] entering directories with mouse double click and data on cmdline executed the commandline (GPFault) [A] -> flpanelx.CommandHandle.evMouseDown ignores cmdline [-] filename display was wrong if an extension was much longer than the name (Necromancer, "BBC. test testtest") [NC] -> filescol.NewFileRec.Align, addspace received negative value [*] LNX empty 'cd' command goes to $home (~) (GPFault) -> vfs_driv.TDrive.HandleCmdLine [-] LNX X: CTRL-O crashed divby0 (usermenu#156) (GPFault) [A] -> dnutil.TDnApplication.HandleCommand cmShowOutput does not work in X, therefore whole screen will be shown (like ESC) [-] highlight group dialog move button closed the dialog [A] -> cmNewItemPos = cmYes, rearranged groupdlg.TGroupDialog.HandleEvent [*] Highlight Groups.File Group List "Color" inputline now also shows the default file panel background (Necromancer) [+] double click in window list of window manager now selects window (Vladimir Bochkarev) -> added winman.TWindowList.HandleEvent VIRTUAL FILE SYSTEMS (VFS) [-] FTP ROOT: deleting entries didn't update panel and last entry crashed (GPFault) [A] -> flpanelx.TFilePanelRoot.RereadDir didn't check for nil file records [+] FTP: added PUT and GET commands (cursor must be in FTP panel) -> vfs_ftp.TFTPConnected.HandleCmdLine [+] FTP: recursive copying and erasing (not move!), calculate dir length, single erase, file operations (added vfs_driv.TDrive.RenameF) and fast rename (fltools.CM_RenameSingle), create file on server (microed2.OpenEditor and vfs_ftp.TFTPConnected.UseFile) [-] FTP: Getting directory listing of a directory containing spaces led to unpredictable results on unix FTP servers -> vfs_ftp.TFTPConnected.GetFilesCol replaces ' ' with '\ ' [A] [*] FTP: if a file download wasn't allowed by the server the target file won't be created on the local disk [-] FTP: long dir listings (sent in many buffers) were parsed incorrectly if the last line in the buffer was not finished with an EOL, hence one split string (spread over 2 buffers) was either not parsed correctly or at all [A] -> fileio.TMemReader.GetData now signals if last string didn't end with an EOL, used in vfs_ftp.TFTPConnected.GetFilesCol [*] FTP: improved all commandline commands: only reread the panels if the sent command was successful -> vfs_ftp.TFTPConnected.HandleCmdLine INFO PANEL [-] subdir counter was not reset on dir change (Vladimir Bochkarev) [A] -> vfs_driv.TDrive.GetDirectory didn't zero TotalDirs ARCHIVES [-] AIN detection was bad (only checked extension) (Vladimir Bochkarev) [NC] -> archdet.AINDetect DNEXEC/EXTERNAL VIEWER/EDITOR DNEXEC.EXECUTEFILEEXT/LOCAL_GLOBAL_MENUS [-] '%' in file names for external viewers/editors were doubled (Dandv) [A] -> dnexec: moved the %-replace-code [*] cmdline interpreted %1-%6 and %11-%16, file names with % needed %% to work correctly -> dnexec._MakeCMDParams was removed, cmdline is used as is [-] LNX: when starting NDN on a system booted from a LIVE CD (tested with Knoppix 4.0) it was not possible to execute any commands -> these LIVE-CDs don't have a valid SHELL environment variable set (try the env command); dnexec._ExecString.CheckWhatParams uses /bin/sh if SHELL doesn't work VIEWER/EDITOR [*] panel is not reread when saving temporary files -> microed2.EditorSaveFile/fviewer.WriteModify check IsTemporaryFile EDITOR [*] mark word operation moves cursor to end of the marked word {Z} -> micro_3.EdMarkWord [*] Continue to mark the opened block if at the end of it {Z} -> micro_1.EdScrollBarChanged [*] block operations (comment/uncomment/move) now center the y-view only if the starting line of the block is the first line on screen or not visible anymore -> micro_1.EdHandleBlockCmd [-] mark paragraph didn't mark the last line in file [A] -> micro_3.EdFindParagraph [-] 2 bugs with 'Exec current file': [A] a) single ext command sequences were written to the cmdline b) after about 3 such executions NDN crashed -> dnexec._ExecFile now ignores cmdline: added (e|c)mExecFileIgnCmdl http://ndn.muxe.com/beta.php have fun Stefan / AH

hey basil i said NEXT version :) i will try to make it ready for the next few days regards Stefan / AH

hi gpf my knoppix 4.0 LIVE-CD has the same execution problem like your gentoo 2006 i just found the reason and fixed it: there is no SHELL variable in the envrionment (see env command) i am now using /bin/sh if no valid shell variable is found i think this fix is satisfying, since /bin/sh should exist on every system thanks for the report Stefan / AH

hi basil! please, try this again with the next version (i just want to hear that it works with NDN and crashes FAR) :) regards Stefan / AH

hi av! partial answer: http://forums.muxe.com/index.php?showtopic=625 i don't know if LPT1 or PRN works, as i never used that (NUL doesn't work) try it and let me know if it works (no need to post if it doesn't work) Stefan / AH PS: LPT1/PRN should be supported, i think it once worked before in an older version too and there's code in the file copy code for this too but i have never tested it

hi *! again just a little new beta release: v2.15.8193 DPMI32/WINDOWS/LINUX 08-04-06 [*] improved fileio.IsDir [+] added several new coloring possibilities: + File attributes on panel divider (Vladimir Bochkarev) + Driveline drive letters depending on the drive type (Necromancer) -> FD (Removable), HD, LAN, CD/DVD, VFS + Command line (Mnwa) -> extended dnutil.CColor (3 more bytes at the end) -> updated all pal files and internal palettes [*] Russian resource update (GPFault) [*] improved rcp.MakeDriveCheckBoxes and setups.TCurrDriveInfoHandleEvent FILE PANEL [-] there was a message popup when changing directories via cd on cmdline [A] [*] readded Fast Rename to ALT-F6 , File operations now work again... put "single file move" to Shift-F6 [*] several ALT+<Statusline> entries didn't work with mouse clicks -> added command codes to the lines (removed -1) [*] improved the english file panel status lines [*] stringsx.FStr now uses the better stringsx.FileSizeStr, which adds M/G/T to file sizes, therefore reduces space needed in some cases (driveline: Vladimir Bochkarev); it also fixes size differences when selecting a large file compared to it's filesize in the info panel (Necromancer) [*] fixed some problems with change drive windows (Alt-F1/F2): - large windows didn't start at x=0 but x<0 (missing menu border) - windows were not correctly centered (2 off to the right) - right shadow was not drawn if window was too big - entries with ~ weren't handled correctly -> drivers3.CStrLen now handles double ~~ as one [-] Quickdirs show '~' correctly in the drive change window [NC] [-] W32 Network resources were not shown as such in the drive change menu [V] -> vpsysw32.SysGetDriveType double checked dtLan drives for FS [-] Alt+F1/F2: from VFS to Quickdir only opened quickdir drive (Vladimir Bochkarev) [NC] -> flpanelx._ChangeDrive and ReplaceDrive didn't handle full paths [-] Quicksearch: ~ in file names were not handled (GPFault) [NC] -> flpanel.DrawSearchMask EDITOR [-] column foreground highlight didn't work correctly [A] -> microed7.EditorDraw did draw the FG before moving the string http://ndn.muxe.com/beta.php have fun Stefan / AH

Hi! NDN is written in pascal, the current compiler is Virtual Pascal (dead) at the moment there is no chance to compile NDN in another environment without Virtual Pascal in (far) future it may be possible to compile NDN with different compilers than VP sorry Stefan / AH

Hi Garl! i would like to hear more opinions on where NDN should show MGTK (like in the new version) and where it should do only K/Bytes. Stefan / AH

hi gpf i will ask some friends for some live cds so i can test out on various distros (i hope they will run on my old system) do you also have problems under text terminal? i know that X support is bad, i don't even know if it can be made better at all (although i plan to try :) i fear that my system may have problems running x from a live cd (especially newer versions...) about fsfindtext/viewfind: viewer and editor/file search each have their own history for their find inputlines i think this is ok since you might search for different things in viewer compared to the editor bye Stefan / AH

hi gpf cannot confirm this! sorry Stefan / AH

hi gpf! 2. strange, seems i have to start to debug on more linux systems does NDN try to execute? (cmdline cleared f.ex.?) can you execute files from filepanel? stdin is fixed to FD 0 in NDN, maybe that's the/a problem? 3. yes, alt or ctrl alone (as keypress) are not reported to NDN yet this requires a bit more work which i couldn't do yet NDN always outputs gfx with ISO-Latin-1 encoding there is no support for installed character sets yet and, i don't know how much work is involved additionally, it doesn't do any unicode, maybe that's a problem too thanks Stefan / AH

hi zakker i already have this on my buglist when does it happen? Stefan / AH

hi gpf! a) 2 problems in rcp.pas (MakeDriveCheckboxes) and setups.pas (TCurrDriveInfo.HandleEvent) drive checkboxes use every broadcast from a scrollbar sized with 4 if you make the "advanced options" value as you suggested this scrollbar also becomes 4, so the drive checkboxes react on it too i tried to make it a bit more picky about what SB it reacts to B) good idea of course but, as you get used to certain hotkeys (like alt-f6... :P) it becomes problematic if they change if you added or renamed a value inside a dialog i, f.ex., must always change newly opened file manager windows with a quick ALT-S and A-L-E to get the options i want also, in some dialogs it's handy to name certain objects with a fixed hotkey just because it's logical thanks & regards, Stefan / AH

Hi haman! i use the GOTO PREVIOUS/NEXT word code to find the word to copy i think it is a ok side effect of this operation :) Stefan / AH

hi _andrey_! one problem is that i almost never receive bug reports from russian/foreign users the BIGGEST problem is, that since my last special LNX update (around christmas) it is fully usable to me and some other users (except of course for some features like file attributes...) i can do all of the basic functions, even processes and ftp work so at the moment i have not a big need to work on it i know of character encoding problems, but don't know how to solve it at the moment, since i have not worked at it yet. (and i have never seen them myself...) additionally i cannot spend all my time working on the LINUX port my todo list is long if there is anything you want me to change or fix, send or post bug reports maybe with hints on how to solve it regards Stefan / AH

hi *! i had to translate this thread with babelfish, so i was able to understand what it is all about... the fact that NDN is not released under GPL or anything else is an old decision, not by me but i agree with it additionally, NDN now does more than simply starting in LINUX and displaying files i can fully use it in german/english versions of SUSE LINUX and until now i only received a few bug reports for NDN-LNX since NDN is free for use (with very few restrictions), it can be included in any distribution already. regards, Stefan / AH

Hi gpf! 1. already on my list (search for "backwards") 4. no bug, but unwanted behaviour (so, it is a bug :P) 6. yes, bug (or, unwanted behaviour :)) 7. sorry, i cannot reproduce thanks Stefan / AH

hi haman! the answer is simple: many features in NDN are DPMI32 only so is printing maybe it's no big deal to make it work in W32, but i have never tried does printing from editor work in W32? (have no printer available....) if not i will put it on the todo list Stefan / AH

hi gpf exactly, it's a debug message a new release will be released this week(end) Stefan / AH

Hi *! (small) new beta release (since i have not much time at the moment): [!] check your options in Options.File Manager.Setup and Options.Cofiguration.System Setup [*] HGL improvements: hgl, ndn cfg files, batch/config.sys files, C/C++ (GPFault) [*] LNX Config file improvements: ndn.ext, ndn.mnu, ndn.hgl (J.B.Lethbridge) [*] "Options.Configuration.Colors.Editor.Highlight.Current line comments" was unused and therefore commented out (GPFault) FILE PANEL [*] switching FMSetup."Convert Masks to RegExp" required a restart -> added groupsfm.DoneGroups + filescol.DoneTempGroups to setups.FMSetups [*] removed double hotkey assignments: ALT-R & CTRL-R (Reread panel): removed ALT-R ALT-I & CTRL-L (Info panel): removed ALT-I SHIFT-F6 & ALT-F6 (Rename fast/quick rename): removed ALT-F6 (sorry Elfy) [*] removed Options.File Manager.Setup."Disable erasing of files" and moved Options.Cofiguration.System Setup."Don't show if file is read only" to FMSetup (BMW) [*] NDN will change to directories provided on the commandline (Dandv) -> dnutil.TDNApplication.Init [+] Compare Directories (local disks only!): Recursively (Necromancer) -> fltools.CM_CompareDirs completely new, improved filescol.TFilesCollection.Compare, added vfs_driv.GetFilesColl_All and TDirs to vfs_driv.GetFilesColl, added TotalDirs to vfs_*.T*.GetDirectory [*] removed usage of infopane.ReadDiskInfo (moved into vfs_driv.GetDirInfo) [*] filescol.(Copy|Store|Load)FileRec didn't handle TFileRec.QSort correctly [*] Improved the hotkeys in the archive files dialog EDITOR [*] wrapping on space improvment (J.B.Lethbridge) -> micro_1.EdSplitString: adding 1 to position only when data copied to the new line contains not only whitespace [*] block operations (comment/uncomment/move) now center the y-view -> micro_1.EdHandleBlockCmd [-] current line higlight overwrote syntax highlighted text (GPFault) [A] -> rearranged microed7.EditorDraw highlight code [*] current column highlight now preserves foreground colors (GPFault) EDITOR/VIEWER [*] color of the bookmarks in the infoline is inverted as long as the current position in the file is lower than or equal to the bookmarks -> microed7.InfoLineDraw and fviewer.TViewInfo.Draw -> added own help topic VIRTUAL FILE SYSTEMS (VFS) [-] FTP: directory change didn't work correctly (Dandv) [A] -> lfn.zlFSplit didn't handle Unix paths (/) [*] NETW: network scan can be interrupted (Esc) -> added lAbort to network.GetResources TURBOVISION: VIEWS/DIALOGS/MENUS/OBJECTS [-] Subtitles were cut even though there was enough space on the bottom frame [A] -> TWindow.SubTitle used a wrong maximum length for clip calculation http://ndn.muxe.com/beta.php have fun, Stefan / AH

hi garl! im sorry, but shift-f6 is simply more consistent, since copy single and delete single are used with shift + f5/f8 too we should not have double hotkeys for same features (except for a few operations that are very common in other programs as well, like clipboard or redo/undo) you wil get used to shift-f6 soon :) other opinions? (we already had a thread about this topic some weeks ago) Stefan / AH
