I have long had a goal to start up development on Doors CS 7 after the completion of my Master's thesis, and with the final copy handed in to the Office of the Dean of Engineering and my defense looming in two weeks, I've started to pick at the neglected monstrosity that is the Doors CS 6.2 source code. The major updates will encompass planned XLib/Celtic III support built in, lots of stability fixes, and folder backups, among many others. Yesterday I fixed a few bugs related to pulling the RunProg subsystem out of the rest of the code so it can be used as an entrypoint for better MirageOS and USB8x compatibility, and today I replaced the About screen with a GUIfied version for Doors CS 7. Screenshots of the prototype drawn in paint (left) and the new About window in action (right) are below. Please stop by and keep up with my development progress, and keep in mind that until school is over in earnest for me in three weeks there won't be that much progress. I'll try to keep my DCS7 signature updated accordingly.

Finally!
YAY!
time!

Yay, this is good news

Thank you SirCmpwn and Elfprince13. This afternoon I added the MemoryPop function, just like the InfoPop window that shows file size and description when you hover over programs. MemoryPop shows the free and total RAM and ROM on the calculator; it has been crossed off as item 24 on Xeno_Cre8or's Doors CS 7 Features list on the Doors CS wiki. Screenshot below.



sauce.

Kerm working on DCS7?! Holy 2nd blue moon on a February, Batman!

Looking good so far, Kerm

Thanks Keith. I think the next thing I'll attempt is the planned new Options dialog.

it's about a time

Looks great thus far, good work.

WORK SLAVE WORK!!! MUHUWAHAHAHAHA


also nspire users around the world command you to fix the power-off bug


so nooo pressure

Right, because that's the way to motivate someone who volunteers thousands of hours of their lives to writing calculator programs instead of working on school projects and his Masters thesis, relaxing, or doing monumental romantic things for his girlfriend.

On a less-sarcastic side note, I was unable to duplicate the problems I was having when I loaded up a fresh copy of 6.2 on a newly-reset TI-83+.

Well, that's totally a higher priority than DCS7. Take your time, Kerm .... wait...


What. WHAT. WHAT?! Kerm is the nerdiest and geekiest human alive! EXPLAIN THIS, MARTIAN! O_O

haha i am just joking i really can wait

It's a trap and he just does't know it yet

That makes half the admins And AlienCC (the guy who ran UnitedTI for *ages*) is married, which is a large part of why he doesn't run it anymore.

Oooohh, is that an iconized taskbar? Might DCS7 have multiwindow management?

If it's not too much why not make it look a little prettier?I've been toying with the source to DCS5 and would happily contribute my modified artwork.

Sadly, no. Those just happen to be shortcuts to programs or folders(?) That way a commonly-used prog can be activated from anywhere.

I'd be happy to see some screenshots. Can you post them up?

awsome this version of dcs is going to be more like windows but awsomer cause it is for the calc


omg almost a week from now


i can't wait!!!!!!!

I don't think that countdown image has been accurately counting down for 6 months or more, now.

Also, I want to see screenshots too, Xeno!

Haha! Let us hope this one handles negative numbers better than the last few!
