Ti99Dir version 9.1.a

[F.G. Kaal]

Hi all,

 

I have added three new features or wishes from a few users. This was a process of weeks (4 or 5), not full time but a few hours every weekend and one or two hours almost every weekend, but here it is ...

 

Ti99Dir version 9.1.a is available here: My TI99/4A and Geneve Web Pages (hexbus.com)

and here 

ti99dir91a.zip

 

Added: Number of free sectors of total sectors when viewing the file list of a DSK image (time spend: 1 evening)

 

Added: Command line arguments -I, -L, -R and -S- (time spend: 2 evenings)

• -I<filename.ini> for using an alternative .ini file instead of the default file
• -L<pathname and/or DSK image name> for the file list in the left panel
• -R<pathname and/or DSK image name> for the file list in the right panel
• -S- Disables the splash screen (splash screens are annoying when debugging 🙂 )

 

every command line option is optional.

 

Usage: Ti99Dir.exe [-Ic:\path\myconfigfile.ini] [-Lc:\mytifiles\] [-Rc:\mytifiles\mydskimage.dsk]

 

Also the classic method for starting Ti99Dir is still available (like Ti99Dir pathname or Ti99Dir pathname\diskimage.dsk)

 

Added: Quick view panel for the left or right side (time spend: endless)

The idea of this feature is that the user browses through it's TI-files in one panel and immediately sees the content of the directory / disk-image / harddisk image/ ARC file / picture file / data file / basic program in the other panel.

 

Also added the ti99dir.bat batchfile in the download I use together with TotalCommander (Total Commander - home (ghisler.com)

 

 

enjoy.

 

Fred

Yea, extremely useful along with T-99Hdx!  I prefer to use real TI--99 hardware instead of emulation, except for development.

Ouch... I guess this new build doesn't work with Windows XP?

I tried to use Ti99Dir to rename the internal name of a TI File (where the internal name is different from the host file name), and it seems to work but the result is not saved.
