Feature request - don't reset video mode

Post reply

DZ currently always resets the video mode on startup ( to 80x25 ). It would be better to do a simple test if a text mode is set and use this preset mode if it is acceptable (i.e. my favorite mode 80x34).

To use graphical colors in XP demands a mode-change in order to
set the colors. This is Not done by the program. The -xp switch
on the command line will trigger this mode-change on startup.

In addition to this there is a choice in the System Option (Ctrl-F9)
[x] Restore screen mode on startup (default=set).

The program should adapt to the current screen setting if this is not set.

It will be interesting to see if this actually works.

Problem if current screen width isn't 80 chars

Post reply

> The program should adapt to the current screen setting if this is not set.

This works as far as the screen width is 80.

Perhaps it's possible to improve the current behavior? My suggestion is:

1. if screen width is < 80, reset video mode to 3 ( or 7 ).
2. if screen width is > 80 and text mode is on, use it.

On my web site there is a package, SETMXX.ZIP, which contains a tool setm37.exe. This tools uses VESA mode 0x102 (800x600x4) to create a 100x37 text mode resolution. Works with a lot of cards, so there's a chance you can use it for testing.

This is the default setting.

I can?t implement functions that reprogram the graphics card in this way, and I could line up a long list of argument why, but the short answer will be: if you want to implement this you have to do it yourself.

Most of the console function calls @rcsprc (src/clib/console/rect/_rcsprc.asm) to create a screen pointer from x, y (bl, bh), but some functions are hard coded and add 2*80 to get the offset of the next line.

Yes, but only if "restore screen mode" is off.

Sorry, but I didn't suggest to "reprogram the graphics card". I suggested to be aware of a non-80-column text-mode if "restore screen mode" is off.

This was more of a bug report than a feature request.

Sorry, I assumed using "a screen with > 80" was a feature request.

The default is on, however, the "restore screen mode" option only test the number of lines. Using (not 80)x25 will skip the mode change. The adaptation is only tested using MODE CON LINES=XX, so there is a lot of unfinished work there. I?m currently a bit out of time (and energy) to do much about this at the moment.

I downloaded the setmxx file but only the 80x34/60 mode works using XP. Only the 80x34 actually works in DZ (good mode by the way), but the mouse is limited to 25 lines, so code needs to be added.

I added some init code for the columns and segment B000/B800, but this may also fail in some cases.

I don't think it's important to support non-80-column modes, but IMO it's important to ensure that the output of DZ is readable for the user.

To maky myself clear: if support for non-80-column modes is a lot of work, my suggestion is:

IF ( "restore screen mode" == ON or no_of_columns_of_current_mode != 80 or graphics_mode == ON ) setvideomode( 80x25 );

Problem if current screen width isn't 80 chars

Post reply

I do understand your point Japheth, but in some cases it would be useful to do nothing. The main reason to apply the "restore screen mode" is to enable use/testing of different settings. Using command.com (in XP) to run setm34.exe will not work, but using DZ as a shell will do. The option(s) comes as a result of the possibility to remove the panels, menus/status line, and mouse, which enable the use of DZ as a command line tool. Most of the options in the "System Options" menu was used for debug, but applied in this way it may also be useful for debugging other programs. The point with the "default is on" is then to clarify that if you turn it off there may be problems. To add more options than 80x25/50 is not necessarily a lot of work, but this should be applied as "default" including test and init code. There are two output functions used, one writes to screen (x, y, 80, B800:0000) and one writes to memory (x, y, columns, *ptr). A global screen pointer is already added, so it?s currently only the columns that are hard-coded.

The init code added in v2.02:
if (no_of_columns_of_current_mode != 80){ setvideomode( 80x25 ); if (no_of_columns != 80) exit(); }

This will ensure output on the supported modes, but a rewrite of the output functions will make it more flexible.

Changelog v2.02:
- fixed bug on moving selected files (hard error)
- fixed bug on reading .ZIP files with no End Central Directory (hard error)
- added video init and (some) support for mono board (seg B000h)

Bug report - menu bar still active in hidden state

Post reply

Hello,

after suppressing the menu bar, DZ still will popup the file menu when I press Alt-F. IMO this is an error - at least a design flaw. I'd like to suggest to disable this behavior and search another way to navigate to the menu items. VC does it pretty good: If you press and release ALT, the menu bar becomes temporarily unhidden.

Another thing, which is not a bug, but a feature what I miss: a fast way to navigate through very large file lists in the panel. If there are 3000 files in the current directory and I want to position to the first whose name starts with "mx", then DZ only offers the rather limited SEARCH dialog to assist me.

The Alt-key was used to activate the menus before but this was not a good idea if used in Windows (using Alt-Tab/..), so I removed this option. If implemented as VC you also need to overlay the panels with a new menu bar and a separate event handler for this case. Since the option of hiding the menu bar/status line/command line is added recently, the code to handle this will be rather extensive. Well, something should be done to handle this, but I?m currently out of ideas on how.

It is possible to limit the number of files in the panel by typing mx*.* in the panel filter dialog, but Ctrl+Alt+m+x will be the fastest way to do this. Trying to find the 'config.nt' file in the system32 directory using Quick search, you need to type 'config.' to bypass the config directory, so it could probably be a good idea to skip searching directories?

FAR commander and MC use F9 to reveal the menu bar. That would also be ok.

Thanks, I didn't know about the Ctrl+Alt+ thing! The functionality is a bit unhandy, however, because both control keys have to be kept pressed until the find-string has been fully entered. Perhaps it's possible to keep this special mode once Ctrl+Alt+any_key has been entered and leave it after ENTER or ESC has been pressed?

Not really, the Alt+key activates the menus, so you have to press ESC to remove it on return. May sound like a trivial case, but some (including me ;-) ) find this to be annoying.

I like to have direct access to the menus (Alt+F) instead of typing [F9/Alt], and then [Right/Left], and then [Enter]. I guess we all are victims of habits when it comes to key bindings, but you could use Ctrl+X for this purpose.

It may be that my keyboard handling differ from the norm since I don?t see holding down Ctrl+Alt while continue typing being a problem, but maybe it is?

It's probably ok if you're used to a 2-finger-system for typing. However, if you're used to use your keyboard blindly, then it becomes difficult to find the right keys with one hand while the other is busy holding down CTRL and ALT.

:-)

I still don?t have any problem of covering the left side of the keyboard with my left hand, but it is (as you say) a bit difficult, and I would not recommend writing a document in this way. It works if the search string is 1-3 chars, but to write longer strings will be a bit irritating.

So, a quick fix could then be applied as follow (src/dzmain/cmquicks.asm - line 197):

AND AL,1100B
CMP AL,1100B
JE QUICKSEARCH_01

and change this to:

and al,100B
jnz QUICKSEARCH_01

Now the Quick search will activate using Ctrl+Alt, but when activated you can release the Alt key and start typing while still holding down the Ctrl-key (assuming you are able to hold down the Shift-key while typing).

I will also assume (as mention above) that the target of the search if files and not directories, so I will see if it is posible to change this in the next release.

While you add it (80x35):

src/clib/conio/console/consinit.asm (line 83):

mov ax,0003h ; this clears the screen
int 10h
call setcursor ; restore cursor
call rcclose ; restore screen
pop ax
cmp al,49
jne set_25
mov ax,1202h ; set scanline to 400
mov bx,0030h
int 10h
mov ax,1112h ; load 8x8 font
xor bx,bx
int 10h

I will assume that other dos programs may reset the mode to 25 lines, so if
you want this to be the default setting, you could replace the 50 line setup with 35. In this way the program will reset to 35 lines on startup.

	The version 2.00 wasn?t very MASM (and JWASM v2.03) friendly so I did a rewrite of headers and some of the source code. Version 2.01 was compiled using JWASM 2.03, but I still use OW 1.8. Most of the functions listed there should not be included, but I assume this is releated to the rewrite. Well, thanks for the heads up - I will update OW and see how this goes.

	I tested the 1.9 version and it seems to work fine. Try deleting the lib directory and also the src/build.exe and src/c0.obj files to make shore the library are rebuild.

Yes, that trick did it. Thanks!

Post reply

Home page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doszip/
Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doszip/files/

Changes in 2.04 - 01 Oct 2010
- fixed bug on converting hex strings (2.03+)

Changes in 2.03 - 25 Sep 2010
- fixed bug on hidden command line (Alt-F8/Up/Down)
- fixed bug in Panel Info (Volume Label)
- fixed bug in Clipboard (Paste)
- fixed bug in Text Edit (inserting char at end of line)
- fixed bug in Toggle Egalines (Alt-F9)
- fixed bug in the Resource compiler (RCEDIT.EXE)
- added fast mode switch for EGA+ (Alt-F9)
- added more support for mono board (seg B000h)
- added B/W mono color to Screen Setup (Ctrl-A)
- added support for lines > 80 and line count > 50

Note: The hard-coded columns are now removed so the program should now adapt (better) to the current screen setting. However, the only modes supported are still 3 and 7 with 25 or 50 lines. The command mode con lines=43 will not work unless the "Restore screen mode" is off. This adaptation will ensure output on the unsupported modes, but mouse support will be limited.

The Doszip Commander version 2.06 available

Home page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doszip/
Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doszip/files/

Changes in 2.06 - 13 Nov 2010
- fixed bug in Panels - Sort directories
- fixed bug on reading [Filetype] from dz.ini
- added Text info to Class view
- added dialog Load Directory (Alt-P)
- added Open/Save dialog for Setup and Text View

Changes in 2.05 - 17 Oct 2010
- fixed bug in File Search (F9)
- fixed bug in Compression dialog (compress level)
- added fast compression to Copy (F4 and Shift-F7)

[Filetype] This works: c= cpp= mak= makefile=
This did not work: makefile= mak= cpp= c=
Macros are added to Create list: \\ \ \% % \t 09 \n 0D 0A %id Index (loop counter) %cd Current directory %dz Doszip directory %o Offset (F2 in File Search) %s Search string %ext .asm %n cmmklist %p /doszip/src/dzmain %f /doszip/src/dzmain/cmmklist.asm
The format [%id]\nO=%o\nF=%f\n may be used to save/load/swap list to File Search. This is not implemented but the %id format switch works. A flag is set when using F4 to edit a search entry to load File Search on return.

A limited replace tool is added (fxchg.com) to test macros above.
To remove from file:
fxchg -o%o -l<length of string to remove> %f\n
Add to file:
fxchg -o%o "-s<new string to add>" %f\n
Add to top of file:
fxchg @asmhead.txt %f\n
To replace text:
fxchg -o%o -l<length of string to remove> "-s<new string to add>" %f\n

This will fail if called with the same file twice with <length> != <new string>.

Additional libraries are added supporting NMAKE, WMAKE, and MAKE. Some debugging tools and a Borland C project file are added to the source code. Some tiny model library source code is added and some TSR stuff.

Note: Loading old .tcl files to Class view may be a problem..

	The Class view problem is fixed. The Class was pushed on the stack and demanded a reload on entry. This is now saved in the history file, so the lines will then be static. Some TSR snapshots: The loading of classes have a fixed line count:

	There was another bug in the Class viewer on pasting text to the name entry. When creating a struct in this way it will be useful to copy text from a file directly into the dialog. A simple copy function is added to the Text viewer to copy a line of text from the mouse(x,y) position (Right-Click). This works in Text and Hex view but not in Class view:

I don't remember seeing any obvious documentation on the class viewer, so I guess that's experimental. Well, the *.tcl files (why that extension, BTW?) are only in the source archive anyways. Seems that Ctrl-F3 opens a class. Looks good, didn't test too much, not sure if it really worked like I thought. If this makes it easier to edit ZIP file headers and CDS, then that's a cool feature! :-)

P.S. Sorting by size seems broken after about 27 or 28 files (dirs included), at least on my machine.

The extension comes from Textview->CLass view. It was made for viewing binary data in a more organized way, originally used to view memory locations. The *.tcl files is only samples on how to use it. Use Ctrl-F2 to create new *.tcl files.

This is a bug from v1.57+. It breaks on 8000h (signed compare):
