Because it's just a temporary file for you to grab; it's not meant as a final release or anything. And then when I delete it, Google would mark it as yet another 404 in the relevant folder.

Ok, i'm having a VERY wired DCS bug...(I have DCS7.2b)
Well, first of all there were folders with very wired names.
Then, with basic programs i couldn't goto an error anymore
Then, I deleted all appvariables (DCS7, DCS7b and FLDSV7), the wired folders were still there.
Then I deleted all the appvariables AND DCS, and resend DCS to the calc and....all the bugs were still there....
Now i deleted the wired named folders, the bugs are still there, just not more the folders. When I rightclick->edit a basic program that doesn't work either.
Deleting again all the appvars doesn't help. I just don't know what to do, please help!

|
|
I am in love with DCS7, but something about it (or possibly something unrelated) is ticking me off. I like my window settings like this:
But lately, every time I go to graph something, they are changed. They are always reverted back to the defaults.
I am blindly blaming DCS7 for this, but I have no probable cause. It could be some other application, but I will post the issue here for the sake of record-keeping.

Do you run any BASIC programs that could be doing this? Anything that executes the ZStandard (Zoom Standard) command?

Someone's probably posted this bug already but I haven't seen it in this thread yet.
When I'm running a BASIC utility that takes input in Ans in the form 42:prgmNAME, Ans doesn't get set to 42 when prgmNAME is executed—it remains whatever it was before.

I only come across one bug and one bug only:
its when I'm editing an Axe source code program. When I go back to the DCS GUI (editing from DCS) by pressing GRAPH or MODE or whatever, occasionally the source code gets erased when loading the GUI again. I keep archive undelete on my calc to recover the source code.
Note:
this happens whether or not the program is in RAM or ROM

GinDiamond: I've never run across that issue before. Also, GRAPH and MODE don't quite from the DCS-wrapped TI-BASIC editor to the shell, as far as I know?
Deep: I've never heard about that one before, and I don't think I've seen it, either.  This is with 7.2 beta 2?

Yes it is, on OS 2.43.
I also had an assembly program crash once, though I don't remember how it happened. (Forgot to post a bug report :/)

Deep, and if you do :42<newline>:prgmSAMPLE, it works? That sounds more like a problem with the BASIC interpreter than Doors CS to me, to be honest. Can you verify or disprove my theory by using a BASIC program for prgmSAMPLE? And what if you use a BASIC program and also disable Doors CS's hooks?

Using a prgmSAMPLE containing only "Disp Ans."
With DoorsCS hook:
Without DoorsCS hook:
With or without DoorsCS hook:

So I see. I notice that this only happens on the homescreen, though; do you see that behavior as well? I'm a little baffled, because Doors CS's hooks shouldn't have any control over what happens in the "2:" part of "2:prgmSAMPLE".

I had the same problem, but only after DCS runs the first time after a RAM reset.

I press GRAPH to close from Axe editing.
Am I supposed to press something else? GRAPH works, but it occasionally brings that bug up.

first off, i did end up retrieving my data. thanks! as soon as i got it back, the first thing i did was the exact same thing i had done before to see if i could replicate the problem(...and i ended up having to recover it a second time  ). however, i ended up getting a much better look what was going on. the error message i received was this:
Err # 506
Archive Error
the cause of this error was low battery power. when trying to archive a program from inside the doors gui, the error message is given and the user is then returned to the gui from which he can safely exit the application. when editing an axe program from the homescreen, however, after the error message is shown the user is taken to the doors gui. upon opening, it will display a list of all the subfolders and programs on the calculator in one large subfolder named "(t". this subfolder cannot be navigated out of by moving up a level, for some reason, but opening any one of the subfolders will take the user to the normal program list that is usually contained in that folder. however, regardless of what the user does, the application will ram clear on exit.
on a side note, if intercepting the editing part of the os is so difficult, couldnt you implement editing from the homescreen by checking for an additional character in a run command(example, prgmA to run and prgmA[eulers E] to edit)? just a thought. |
Shmibs, I'm looking into this bug, and I can't replicate it. I ran a BASIC program with syntax errors from the homescreen, hit 2:Goto at the Syntax Error, then quit the editor, forcing DCS to think the batteries were low. It successfully returned to the homescreen without archiving the program and without going to the DCS desktop with the errors you describe.

Sounds like his batteries were low, not that DCS thought they were.

Yes, but to try to replicate his bug, forcing DCS to think the batteries are low should be sufficient to trigger the error.

I'm a little skeptical but my skepticism also leads me to doubt the calculator to throw errors and glitch due to low batteries other than a "ERR: Battery Dead" error.
So, you're likely right

Well, the way it works is that when you finish editing, if the program being edited was originally archived, Doors CS re-archives it. The re-archiving process checks the batteries before re-archiving, because writing the Flash with low batteries can cause corruption. If it finds the batteries are low, Doors CS displays a message and then quits from the Arc_Unarc routine without actually re-archiving the program. All I did was edit the result of the battery check function to pretend that the batteries were low. I saw the low-battery message but didn't get the crash Shmibs discussed. Therefore, I think he didn't get to the editing screen from an interrupted program.

it's been a while, so i don't remember exactly what it was that i did. all i remember is that, using the same batteries, this glitch could be replicated, and, once i replaced those batteries, it was no longer a problem.

Can you clarify how you could get to the DCS version of the OS's editor by running an Axe program? I'm not sure how that's possible, but I'm not really an Axe user.
