Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing
tinycore_v2.11rc3
bmarkus:
No copy/paste in Appbrowser :( I just wanted to visit a WEB listed in the info file.
roberts:
No plans to add the bulk of editor capabilities to Appbrowser.
As a work around you could always deal with the currently available local copy of the .info file, as appbrowser quite simply loads up such file for its display.

Why not remove the line:
--- Code: --- status_out->deactivate();

It's an output box, so one can not change the contents of it, and a quick test shows that one can copy from an active Fl_Output. Small change, huge improvement in usability.
Also since I'm posting here, what are the chances of getting a more useful mnttool included in the base? All I'm really asking for is a change in the way the info is displayed. I've already made the changes I need to make mnttool useful to me, but it would be nice for it be part of the base. My mnttool is only 1KB bigger than the one in base anyway.

hello everybody,
thnx for all the improvements done to TC.
@roberts
please can you consider these suggestions please:
[Appbrowser]
1- will it be feasable to add the possibility to download straight from appbrowser the 'latest TC's distribution files, either release or final (reason is appbrwser is here from the start, and it's a point-and-click, so no need to any other app/utility to achieve this).
2- Is it possible to homogenize the colors used as visual helpers, (ie Red-Orange-Green):
like using red when there is an error, orange/yellow when action is going on, and finally green when everything went OK? (so when applied to appbrowser, appbrowser starts with orange, keep the color orange as long as it's still processing - this can half replace the need to have a progress bar-, and finally color turns to red or green (instead of the actual yellow) according to the result.
this will lead to simplify things as in 'mnttool' as an example:
[mnttool]
switch the buttons:
- the upper one keeps the same behavior, ie to go to the next drive to mount ( this button can be splitted to two buttons : previous-next )
- the lower button will show the drive name on a RED background, and toggles to GREEN if and when mounted, keeping its status to the next toggle.
So no more need to show the words 'mounted/unmounted, anymore, specially that if we are using this utility is effectivelly is to mount and unmount drives, no need to read cause colors are faster to provide the meaning.
@althalus
this simplification can be applied to your mnttool.
I think one button is sufficient for all three needs from this tool: show a label, reflect a status info and provide action. (this will reduce the size of the dialog too).
[default keymap]
Is it possible to use 'us-acentos.kmap' as the default one?
thank you
