Fluetro OS DevLog 047

One step closer to finishing the Files app

New Features added

• New File and New Folder options that actually work (with icons BTW)
• New File can only be used to create text files, and the get the Type as Text File, and a .txt extension
• User Created files/folders now stay even after a restart/page refresh (like in your browser, not the files or browser app of Fluetro)
• Removed the size detail for folders since most OSes don’t even show it
• Sorting actually works, but it’s only Ascending or Descending, only based off of the Item name
• Clicking the dock icon now instantly focus the corresponding window, except for errors
• Added an actually working address bar, inspired by the older Windows (like XP), which can also take user input to go to said location
• Putting in an invalid location in the address bar gives an error box, like the System or unsupported file type errors

Fixes

• Fixed issues that I faced while implementing the Dynamic Naming Process for the User Created files, like adding the extension for the Text Files
• Fixed an issue with the sorting logic, where, since I copied most of the logic from the ascending system to the descending system, I left the button click listener for the ascending system, in the descending system, so for some time, clicking ascending just sorted the items in descending

Current issues/bugs

• The Sort and New Menus don’t close if I click anywhere else in the files app
• You can’t unselect an item
• The Gallery Status bar shows “undefined items”

Note

Added the Gallery Screenshot promised in my last DevLog
