*bump* I haven't gotten to look at SubaruZX's issues yet, but I did receive this helpful email from Braden:
| Braden wrote: | More testing has revealed the circumstance that causes CHAIN7 to appear. It’s actually so simple, I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. It appears if you open the Properties Menu, and exit DCS without running any programs after, regardless of whether or not a option from the Properties menu was used. It also disappears if DCS is ran again without using the Properties Menu, or using it, and running a program after it.
I also found a bug with the Hide feature. If an archived program/file is hidden, overwriting data in the Archive and running Garbage Collect will replace its icon with a TI-Basic Icon, and cause a 504 Error when trying to run it. InfoPop also shows the size as 65535 Bytes, and the first character in the name is replaced with another character, for example, D replaced by w, P by √. The original/replacement pairs seem to always be the same. This can be undone with another Archive overwrite and Garbage Collect, or a RAM clear. However, if the same program is unhidden without doing either one after, trying to run it from TI-OS without the Homerun Hook will cause a RAM clear, as will browsing to the program location in the TI Memory Manager. But trying to run it with the Homerun Hook will lock up the calc during execution, the only way out is pulling a battery.
I had a problem trying to run an Ion ASM program (attached). It was recognised as a TI-Basic program, not Ion ASM, and running it resulted in an Error 514. I tried another Ion ASM program, and it worked, so I figure it must be a problem with this program in particular. However, it always worked with DCS6.
I also noticed that program sizes shown by InfoPop are always smaller than those shown by TI-OS. Is this normal?
Finally, I noticed the DCS menu no longer stays open after exiting the Options window. But, it’s not a problem, and I’m guessing it’s intended. |

DCS7 doesn't recognize any non-compiled ASM program (using the AsmPrgm token) as ASM, so the program creates a syntax error.
Also, when you delete the nonarchived appvar, and you try to do a calculation, the warning screen appears (the one that says your calc crashed or reset). When you delete all appvars and you don't ram clear, the About screen pops up when you do a calculation.
EDIT: I would like it more if the memory information and InfoPop appeared more quickly, and if the pop-ups wouldn't disappear automatically. Also, is it possible to make DSC7 display more description? Like, a description that doesn't take up the whole line in MirageOS takes up the whole line on DCS7.
Custom startup (like TI's Startup app) would also be great. |

Welcome to Cemetech, program4! I was hoping you'd start posting at some point, since you've been lurking for about a week.
| program4 wrote: | | DCS7 doesn't recognize any non-compiled ASM program (using the AsmPrgm token) as ASM, so the program creates a syntax error. | I consider that correct behavior for now. I'd be more than happy to try to make it automatically compile on-the-fly in the future, though.
| program4 wrote: | | Also, when you delete the nonarchived appvar, and you try to do a calculation, the warning screen appears (the one that says your calc crashed or reset). When you delete all appvars and you don't ram clear, the About screen pops up when you do a calculation. | As would be expected, since the AppVar disappeared. That usually only happens when your calculator RAM Clears. I can't think of a reason why the AppVar would arbitrarily disappear under normal operation, so I don't really consider that a bug either.
| program4 wrote: | EDIT: I would like it more if the memory information and InfoPop appeared more quickly, and if the pop-ups wouldn't disappear automatically. Also, is it possible to make DSC7 display more description? Like, a description that doesn't take up the whole line in MirageOS takes up the whole line on DCS7.

Request: change the APD key combination to something else, because Omnicalc uses On+Mode with its Virtual Calc function. Maybe use On+Matrix instead? _________________

(uh-oh, better tell this guy about the bug) | You and I both did it, so I assume he's on his way. I'm surprised he downloaded 6.2, I thought I had said to get 7.0 RC 1 in #omnimaga.  _________________

The manual should be changed to reflect the actual help and options menu (pages 15 and 16).
Also, fine-tuning for the contrast might be good. |

Doors CS can run 99.9% of the games you can get here:
