hi all,
hopefully i have installed the sdfiler right on my calc - i see all
the commands beeing described in the readme - i'm not able to create a
directory.. tz tz. i tried several ways
"sd:/rr", /rr, "/rr" and so on
but i always get a Directory Creation Failed!
what's wrong?
what does xreset?
do i need the x - commands for usual work?
what's the fixsto?

thanks for the work to claudio lapilli and everyone, who has worked
with him ....

Are you using a 2GB card? They don't work properly at the moment.
Are you in RPN mode or algebraic? I never tested in algebraic so have
no idea if it will work.

> what does xreset?

After using the SD filer commands, you CAN'T use the command STo or
RCL from the card. It will hang for 5 seconds or so, and error. If
you go into the regular calculator filer after, that will reset the
card info.

> do i need the x - commands for usual work?

Not really. They remove the error checking on inputs which means you
could screw stuff up (if I am remembering correctly)


> what's the fixsto?

FixSTO is a special command in the ARMtoolbox to store a libary a
certain way so it can run ARM code. I don't think you need it.

Syntax for making a directory should work with either "DIR1/SUBDIR1"
or "/DIR1/SUBDIR1".

Are the other commands in SDLIB working fine and that one isn't
working? Does the filer itself work?

hi tim wess,
now i'm using a 256 mb sd card.
ok. something i found.
i see the SDLIB and the SDFil. here the commands of the SDfiler:
MKDIR: DIRECTIRY CREATION FAILED!
COPY: Pick Destination -but where are the destianations? the original
filer shows the tree
MOVE: the same
RCL: OK
EVAL: OK
RENAME: renames no direktory, files are ok
PURGE: no directory, files are ok
SORT: ok

i'd made a directory /NN/A1 with sdmkd. in the filer i see NN. how i
see A1?

more questions later.

Strange.

> COPY: Pick Destination -but where are the destianations? the original

Just use the R and L arrow keys to move to the location you'd like and
press ENTER. The displayed directory is where you are telling it to
go.

> MOVE: the same

The same.

> RENAME: renames no direktory, files are ok

I don't think you can rename a directory.

> PURGE: no directory, files are ok

I think it will delete a directory, but only if it is empty.

> SORT: ok

> i'd made a directory /NN/A1 with sdmkd. in the filer i see NN. how i
> see A1?

There should be a folder named A1 showing. Use the R arrow on it to
move into the directory.

hi tim wess,
really strange.
it must be hard to deal with all so foolish questions asked in a
german english german language:-)
some hours ago i noticed the function of the L/R arrows. so i think i
was wrong and you have given a nice tool.
the explanation of the function of all the keys must be somewhere in
the big manuals. i know...
last questions:
the functions in the sdlib are now nearly understood.
but what i do wrong with the function mkdir in the sdfiler?
it appears: enter directory name, alpha mode is on and i ever get the
directory creation failed.
thanks for your patience and your help.

ok. it's a very nice tool.
MKDIR in the filer menu does it without "".
SDMKD needs the "".
fine.
thanks for the help:-)

Glad to know it works. I knew you'd figure it out sometime. The
MKDIR in the filer doesn't change the text you enter into an ID
("NAME" vs. 'NAME').

Now that it is working, how would you like to test your 2GB SD card?
I recompiled the SDLIB with the latest HPGCC 2.0 update which should
have the 2GB problem fixed (thanks Claudio! :-) While doing that, I
also added in an entry for SDfiler in the APPS menu, so it should
appear there now for easy access.

Please let me know (you or anyone else who'd like to test) if the 2GB
card is working properly now. Download at the link. Thanks!

I noticed that the earlier problem with invalid time stamps still
crashes the filer.

A simple work-around is to convert the time to/from decimal before
TOD>t$ in browser.S


%HMS> ( convert hms to decimal, 17.0860 -> 17.15 )
%>HMS ( convert back to hms 17.15 -> 17.0900)
TOD>t$

Hmm. I thought that had been fixed. I must have used an old set of
sources to recompile.
