Title: New Shell for the great M4 expansion...
Post by: GUNHED on 14:43, 17 April 22
The video shows what the shell shall be able to do. Sorry for the bad quality. Next video with better camera. But I guess you see enough. Here the icons get selected from left to right.

Please let me know you comments, now is the time to give advice and complain. Now still everything can be altered to your wishes. Just let me know you thoughts...

Meta remark: I don't see what the video shows that the thumbnail doesn't! What am i missing?

Pedantic remark: it's not a shell! Well, that's not a minor remark after all, since you ask about wishes, and I do wish is a real shell on CPC.
Symbos's one is pretty neat (auto-completion, history of commands). But it is missing the piping ability!
CPM's one has more advanced abilities, but doesn't support recent mass storage.
Argl.

Note: I am not be right the right audience. I'd rather type |cp,"*.o","ftp:" than firing up a tool inside an OS that takes some time to boot.
Also. what does it add to SysCo?

Haha! Some time to boot... yes, less than a second as soon as fully integrated. 
Less time that you need to type a line of a command anyway.

Yes, it's not a shell, then I call it a GUI, or how would you call it after all? Seems that I always use the wrong words, maybe because I like coding more than caring about the correct definition.  ;)

The video shows how icons get selected, that's not to be seen on a picture.

Since there are no requests or comments which tell me "do this different" I assume it's all fine. Thank you!  :)
