QL Commander v2.1

[Andrew]

QL Commander v2.1

What's new:

1. QLCommander can use FileInfo2
2. Added Help file
3. Updated QLConfig_bas, 5pixel_fnt and qlc_cfg files
4. On QPC _scr files can be viewed also when QPC is set in high colour mode and high resolution
5. Bug fix: Now QLCommander corectly reads the path sent as command line parameter
6. Bug fix: When panel was changed using TAB, and there were a large number of selected files and directories, the colour of the currently selected file/directory under the cursor was not reflecting it’s correct state (selected or unselected)
7. Bug Fix: File size for very large files was shown as 1. Now the file size is correctly shown, if there is enough space to fit the full value. If there is not enough space then the file size is shown as ****** and the correct file size can be viewed using the Info command
8. Bug Fix: Command line was not rendered correctly when the narrow font (5pixel_fnt) was used and the panel width was smaller than 46 characters

Hi Andrew
Your code implies thet it uses QLiberator and TURBO Directives which I assume require their runtime modules. UNZIPing your Folder there is a file qlc21rtm_obj and a file unsizp which I assume contains the code for QL Commander to operate.

I attempted to use the QL Commander Configurator with my QPC2 setup but as soon as I hit Enter it comes up with Line 2760:2 error in expression:- EDIT$(x$,text$(crtline,2)) comes up with invalid syntax.

Forgive my ignorance in QL O/S and Compiler skills but can you give a more explicit explanation to the necessary Commander load requirements? Or upload Quill View as a Plain Text Doc assuming it has info pertaining to the load and running of Commander.

Que? Does Commander LRUN a Basic Prog when Compiled ie as qlc21_obj

The manual for version 2.0 says

Extensions used
QLC uses the following extensions :
• qlc_code (contains More_code, Header_code and Function_code, all from DIY Toolkit)
• QPTR toolkit
• Turbo Toolkit
• Toolkit 2 (On Qemulator use v2.32 – on QL at least v2.88, but v2.32 is recommended)
• PE environment (hot_rext, ptr_gen, wman – only on QDOS, not needed on SMSQ/E)
Your selected editor may use other extensions, so make sure all are loaded

Yes, QL Commander can LOAD and LRUN a program, LRESPR an extension etc.
I have created a new version of the manual.

Hi Andrew,
very nice! ... after many months I will return to (my) QLXC rewritten in "LSB" and will try to port changes there, also as feasibility study of "LSB dynamic approach" ))
Thank you very much for next material for winter learning

PS: I dont understand why here is not more comments and downloads, I can't live without 2-pane nortnon-like thing, but fact is QLXC has also F-keys realigned with NC/TotalCommander;

plus, btw is somewhere possible to send you some very ugly amount of money at least for sixpack of beers? ))

Because many of us are newbies and we don't know what everything is or where to find it.

If the author allows me, I would add it to my github repository of demos to test with MDPs, once I have try it out to know that I don't need to do anything with MDV headers / format.
QL world... is a kind of magic hidden for many of us.

You can add it, no worries.
But keep in mind that QLCommander needs an expanded QL and works best with some kind of mass storage (QL-SD, QUBIDE or at least a double FDD)

Sure,
What kind of expansions it requires to work fine?

Thank you

Hi,

If you read the User Manual, is stated the extensions used:

• ql c_code (contains More_code, Header_code a nd Function_code, all from DIY Too lkit)
• QPTR toolkit
• Turbo Toolkit
• Toolkit 2 (On Qemulator use v2.32 – on QL at least v2.88, but v2.32 is recommended)
• PE environment (hot_rext, pt r_gen, wman – only on QDOS, not needed on SMSQ/E)

This implies at least a QL with 256K ram expansion, or full 640K.
