Some Ideas for the new DoorsCS 7
(1)Trash Bin feature like Archive Undelete(takes little room and VERY useful)
(2)Archive ZDCS6 appvar before running programs or exitting doors to protect against crashing.
(3)Remove Error messages because they tend to crash.
(4)Add feature that decompiles Asm programs to compress data and re-compiles them to decompress.
(5)Change about screen into a pop-up window to save space.
(6)Remove restart function(no needy)
(7)Remove background feature(makes it too hard to see programs.)
(8)Expand prgm edit to a prgm creater.
(9)Expand Calcnet to allow connection to computer.
(10)Allow Password protection at startup.
Didn't I already address all of these in another topic? Here's what I said in that topic:

(1)Adding trash bin similar to Archive Undelete.
Possible, but I think more cumbersome than useful.

(2)Adding built in calc
Waste of space imho

(3)Adding password protection
I will finish the SE for that.

?? What is ZDCS6?

(5)Adding built in Paint similar to DocDE6 that can save programs as pics.
Elfprince is (still?) working on iPaint.

(6)Sound Emulation
Already has quad-channel sound routines, as used in mobileTunes 3.

(7)Prgm to Hex converter used as a file compresser.
Compressed programs are indeed a possibility. Dunno what you mean by "program to hex converter" though.

(8)Expanding program editor to a program that can write and edit programs.
What do you mean?

(9)Expanding CalcNet to allow TI to CPU connection.
That is indeed planned if I ever work more on CalcNet2.

(10)Adding Built in DocDE6
Nah, it's fine as a 1KB standalone program.
xenonparadox wrote:
(11)Changing about screen to a pop-up window to save room.
It's an interesting idea.
xenonparadox wrote:
(12)Removing custom errors messages as they tend to crash.
Really? Can someone confirm this?
xenonparadox wrote:
(13)Memory manager that rewrites the TI OS to redirect memory from Archive to RAM so larger programs can be run.
. No.
xenonparadox wrote:
(14)Allow hiding of programs.
Possibly.
xenonparadox wrote:
(15)Removing restart function as is unneeded.
Fair enough.

hmm.. could agree with 15, it really isn't important, not sure what kind of savings it would have on space.
13 is kind of not possible, if memory serves, as you cannot rewrite the OS in that manner. You can have redirects, and brandonw was working on something similar I believe, but it was highly unstable (if it was the same program)
Indeed, and too nonstandard to be worth including.

10 would be a waste of yet another app page, and this program is big enough as is. DocDE was made to show programmers how to use the things DCS does and its libraries.
Only 1KB, actually, but your point stands.

9 not really sure on this one. I know the main scope of the linking is being removed, at least currently, until he can get around to making things work.
Correct. See my comment above
tifreak8x wrote:
8 As far as I know, it still allows that in the latest version. it just removes the top name line so you can see 1 more line of code at a time.
Also correct.
tifreak8x wrote:
6 would take up too much space, I am sure. Besides, he already has a media player for that.
Yes and no. It's not a big space thing, and it's already there. As I said above, mobileTunes 3 uses the quadplay routine.

5 elfprince was at one time working on this I think, but I do not know what happened to it. I think he stopped development a year or so ago, and not sure if he released the source somewhere or not.
3.. may not be a part of DCS.. but I think he might have developped a program for it? If not, it would be somewhat worthless, as I could take and turn on the calc, pop a battery, and put it back in and gain access to the calc once more.
An SE, as I said somewhere up there.
tifreak8x wrote:
2 not really sure if it is worth it, tho using a key to return to the calc and a quick key press combo to bring it back to DCS would be handy, but it is pretty easy to just press clear to exit DCS and do what is needed, then rerun DCS.
1 not really sure how feasible this is with memory constraints and such, but I will leave that up to him.
