  • File Listing

    From Marco R@2:280/2030 to g00r00 on Sunday, January 30, 2022 16:27:19
    g00r00,

    I noticed that it is sometimes not possible to enter a command when you are at the last page of a file listing (classic mode).
    If the file_id is too long to fit on one screen and the file number has disappeared then it is not possible to enter that last number. Ok I can live with that, but there is an other situation with more files on the last page of the list, in that case it is possible to enter for example "V" to view a file, but entering a number is not possible.

    Gtx!

    I may be misunderstanding the problem but I was not able to get this to
    happen so I was not able to fix anything just yet.

    I will try to describe it better: when the description of the last file is being showed but doesn't fit on the screen you will get a few last lines when you hit enter. Thus:
    ..........................<descriptionline 16>
    [3] filename.zip date etc <descriptionline 1>
    [4] lastfile.zip date etc <descriptionline 1> ...........................................2> ...........................................3>
    Prompt [T]ag file [V]iew etc .. <hit enter> -> user hits enter and bbs loads: ..........................<descriptionline 4>
    Prompt [T]ag file [V]iew etc ....

    So when you enter T to tag the file it won't work, or enter v and enter 4 to view the file ... it wont let you enter a number.

    Gtx!

    I think I understand now. There is no filename/number listed on the page so it doesn't accept a number. If you wanted to tag that file with a number you would have to move back to the previous page where the filename/number is listed.

    I will take a look to see how difficult it would be to accept a "1" when its the end of the file list like you've mentioned though.
