The beginnings of a file manager with comments

Post by Fangbeast »

This is a program in a very primitive stage. It's going to become a very limited file manager that I intend to use to help me keep control over my documents.

1. On startup, program creates a database.

2. Every time you select a directory, the file list is updated in the file pane.

3. Every time you select a directory, files in that directory are added to the database if they don't already exist in the database.

4. If a file exists in the database, it is checked for a comment. If it has a comment, it is displayed next to the other file information.

5. Double left click runs the file with the system associated program.

6. Double right click allows you to edit the comment.

7. Press RETURN in the comment box to save it.

8. Press ESCape in the comment box to close it.


DEPENDANCIES:


PBOSL - LoadLibraryM
PUREVISION - I use their library for the resizing stuff. (no way around it for now, sorry)

NOTE** I know drag and drop would be useful but I am having a hard time getting it to work so I didn't include it for now. Will add features as I need them (learn them) but you can work on it too!!!

Extract with directories.

The link to the source is missing. Could you post the code here on the forum? A file manager in PureBasic would be GREAT!! Thanks.....
