Cleaned up the code...
Tried fop_dir etc but I liked the Qpipe (QLIB_EXT) better especially for the fast Find option (F)ilter.
Sort list the files first and then the dir's . Press (S)ort again un-sorts.
It should be compiled with QLIB!!
There is also an option to add an file editor , it is remarked for now.
If you want to use it just remove the REMark

For me it works fine now.

see update

Hi NL_QL_User,

Some suggestions

You could add [base=RESPR(118) : LBYTES Dev$&Qpipe_bin,base:CALL base] as an option to add the QLIB Q_Pipe
I’ve attached copy of Qpipe_bin

The Sort could be extended to put the SubDir’s at top of Device DIR listing in win#5.
I changed your ‘FAT’ Drive ID to DOS as with compliant with QPC2 Emulator use

Top Left - Drive info? Spacing might become an issue as with Top Right - File info?
Menu: not all Options displayed - Drive Filter Copy New Paste Rename Sort View Delete Help
Maybe a rethink on Menu display

(F1) Help Screen OK after a few changes to work with my QPC2 environment
(D)rive OK : Cursors Up Down for DIR file enter LRUN or EXEC : Left Right for SubDIR OK
(F)ilter for file group name ie Progs with Filter=Str$ Note: What is Character Limit ? : (F)ilter =‘’ to Delete Str$
(C)opy and Paste=0 or n selected number of Files - Overwrite y/n option
Note: Single File, Selected Files or DIR
(N)ew ?
(r)ename OK
(v)iew OK Pages with Spacebar or Enter key (Printable Chars - Hex Option?)
(CTRL-Right Cursor) Delete OK
(K)illMusic ??? KILLSOUND unknown PROCedure ? with QPC2 Setup

Program Code – easy to follow some issues as expected with variety of different QL Platforms etc.
I suspect you have a lot more programming experience then I do.
Great to have someone writing SuperBASIC progs.

Hey Qbits

Thanks for taking the time to try it out en test it all!
It its really nice when it is a bit useful.

The Lrespr is great , I use Qlib a lot so I have it in my boot file
Lrespr qlib_qlib_run
lrespr qlib_qlib_ext

The sort can be adjusted in the Proc dir_ lines
4100 IF EOF(#3):EXIT n%
4110 INPUT#3,t$(n%)
4120 IF " ->"INSTR t$(n%)
4130 ti$(n%)="1_"
4140 dt%=dt%+1
4150 ELSE
4160 ti$(n%)="0_"
4170 f%=f%+1
4180 END IF

Just change 4130 to "0_" and the line 4160 to "1_", this will put the dirs first when sorting.
Mayby I should make it changeable.
On a Q68 DOS drives are FAT so it iis good that it is Sbasic so everyone can change it as you like.
Also on a Q68 it comes with SOUNDFILE extensions witch can play soundfiles, the Killsound is handy when you're done with a long song.... :D
You're right about indicating what is copied etc, maybe I could make this better.

Yes I would like the (V)iew HEX option. it is not that hard to make.
The (n)ew is at least great for testing grinn but a new dir is always handy I think.

The space is indeed limited for the info and commands and fileInfo. It is because I liked to keep it small. And I like a program to be self explaining.
But 1 extra line would probably make a better info.

If there is interest my wishlist is:
A (s)ort for Date so that it shows the last edited
Mayby a Pipe from 1 qxplorer to a second for copying etc.
A file editor
An unzip
etc etc
Thanks very much again for your input.

Update 1.07

FLen can now show in mb and kb
in drives when a winx_ drive it shows the filename
The qxplorer.ini now works also
Please delete the old win1_tmp_qxplorer.ini if exist
when you start the program it will make the default ini
later it can be carefully changed.

Hi

The comment about DOS drive compatibility in QPC2.

I use the QPC2: DOS_USE, to redefine the DOS device driver and SMSQmulator: NFA_USE for the NFA device driver name.

So it can be anything you want.


Regards,

Derek
