LoveFS

That's a reall issue: it seems that the Mac build don't include io.popen. Why? I'll try to find other way. Can you use os.execute?

As per the lua manual:

This function is system dependent and is not available on all platforms.

[linux-man]

Thanks for the info. Damn manuals!
Seems to me that os.tmpfile don't work on windows.

In OSX

Code: Select all

Can you (or other Mac user) try this love? I'm using an alternative output, this time with os.execute and os.tmpfile. Hope it works.

Nice. It works for me. Don't know if intended but shows root at start.

[Nixola]

It shows root here on Linux too

[coffee]

Only found a problem so far. It don't show foreign/non-english characters. show a "box" instead.

That's good.
The "file browser" try to start in root "/" or "c:\". If it can't then go to WorkingDirectory as defined by Love.
Just browse around for bugs, please! Hidden files and folders aren't shown.

I'm fighting with Windows now.

[linux-man]

Only found a problem so far. It don't show foreign/non-english characters. show a "box" instead.

But can you select files (it shows a "selected file" text bellow Current Directory) or enter directories with foreign characters?

[Nixola]

On Linux, I can select the file "name↑.try" and access the folder "↑", but a box is shown (as every uncommon character on Windows)

[coffee]

Hidden files and folders aren't shown.

Yes but with LoveFS in the OSX root are also showed things usually hidden in Finder listings. It shows cores/bin/dev/etc... folders and list files like mach_kernel and other stuff. Those things only show usually with terminal or in X11 dialog interfaces.

Yes, it browses well foreign folders.

So it works. I don't have boxes, but I'm only using PT characters. What's your distro?

I'm happy that the functionality is there. We can try to correct the cosmetic later.

For Windows users: I made a mistake building the love file. No one can test the demo because it only works with console activated. It's a bad situation and I couldn't find a solution. Finally, this demo works on Windows. Since it change console codepage to 437 there will be no more crashes, BUT folders and files with foreign characters are not browsable/selectable. It might crash if there are foreign characters at the opening folder. I'll look later at this.
