wyerd Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 There's a new version of TI99DIR available to download, v61.a . Available HERE Notes for v6.1a:- v6.1a Added option to extact all files from one ore more selected ARC-files and/or DSK-images and copy these to a directory with the same TI-name as the original ARC-file or DSK-image. Added option to convert one ore more selected ARC-files to a DSK-image with the same TI-name as the original ARC-file (for Berry Harmsen). Fixed: dialogs.cpp:: Handling of the progressbar so that files falling out of the criteria of the choosen function is not counted. Fixed: dialogs.cpp::SetAttrFile() removed Sleep(500) for debug purposes which was accidently left and slowing things down. Fixed: doad.cpp::GetFileInfo() Creating better TI-file name for downloaded files (TIFILES) with no original TI-file name. Fixed: dskfunc.cpp::CopyFileToDisk() Copying an empty file to a DSK-image doesn't fail anymore with error "Disk full". 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Awesome! I use this tool every time I sit down to work on my projects. Time for me to upgrade, as I'm still using 5.4a!!! Last night I was flashing in and out of directories, looking at data file contents as I modified them. I'd be lost without it. Thanks Fred!!!

Tursi Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Does anyone know how to reach Fred? I wanted to send him a bug report but the old email I have is dead and I can't find a new one on his webpage. Hi Fred! Hope you are well! I’ve suspected this one for a while, but it finally bit me hard enough that I took a look. When you rename a file on a disk image in TI99Dir, it doesn’t re-sort the file list in sector 1 for alphabetical order. This is mandatory for the TI Disk Controller to be able to find files if they have changed position in the directory, because it does a binary search for the file. Any chance this can be corrected? (at your convenience, it’s a minor issue now that I know for sure. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you gave a me a great idea for a poll, because I cannot imagine anyone NOT using it. One of the only reasons I still use Windows. Thankfully I can run it in a lightweight VM on my Mac.

vectrexroli Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have a quick question for the TI99Dir experts here, I have version 6.2a of this great tool installed on my PC and I would like to know if there is any trick to directly read from or write to TI formatted 3,5" disks in an external USB floppy drive connected to the PC? Similar as you would handle a CF7+ CF card with TI99Dir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 A TI formatted disk? Not to my knowledge. I wonder if it's even possible? If so, that would make life easier for a lot of people. Great idea Roli. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyDean Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I am only really getting started in the software development world, but I have considered going through the basic programming in TI99-PC and seeing if I can create a program to directly work with a TI formatted disk. As I get my things fixed(computers, trucks, house) this is on a list of things todo. Now if one of you programing guru's out there want to do it, don't let me stop you . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 . I once did it with OmniFlop, formatting a disk in the PC as a TIDISK, and copying a .DSK to the floppy. Also I read a TIDISK with OmniFlop on the PC, and got a working DSK-file 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I read a TIDISK with OmniFlop on the PC, and got a working DSK-file Yes, I've successfully transferred disks that way in the past and a couple of times now, but I am talking about a windows explorer type interface that will allow reading and writing to a TI disk the same as a pc disk, just in a stand alone environment, file as well as whole disk. The aforementioned program as well as others have proved it's possible, I just want to take that knowledge and make it into something a little more user friendly to us all. Maybe in Java or something that all platforms can use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
