[Open Source] PearOS (Preview 2) - OS X Inspired OS

Spoiler

PearOS's (and obviously OS X's) menus are at the top of the screen instead of on the window. The menus are specific to the current application.


System Preferences, the OS X version of 'Control Panel'


PearOS supports multiple windows and applications open at once.

pastebin get LRFsvuN3 PearOS.pkg

• Wireless peripherals (similar to AirPlay, you can use remote printers, monitors and disk drives [disk drives are causing me some hassle, however]). This is essentially done, apart from the ability to access files from disk drives.
• Running non-PearOS programs. This will be released very soon, I know it is vital for the OS. One question, should the programs be their own app/dock icon or should they run within another application. (Mac users, think X11. Not sure of any similar applications)
• A help mode (hold 'H' at boot). To be honest, I don't think I need to add this. Thoughts?
• A guide on how to make an application. I could do this tomorrow, however, I want to make sure I'm not going to make any large changes to how applications are made/run first.
• Fullscreen mode (Suggested by theoriginalbit)
• Project moving to GitHub

• Arrow keys (vertical) missing from TextEdit.
• Scrolling missing from TextEdit.
• Selection is incorrect in TextEdit due to text wrapping.

Spoiler

I have been asked what the '#' means on the menus. The hash ('#') is the closest thing to the command symbol on OS X. See the below screenshot. Whenever you see one you can use the Command or Control key + the letter listed to do that menu action instead. (Note: Due to the fact the Command + Q is captured the by OS [or Java, I'm not sure] on OS X you will have to use Control + Q)

This unsubstantiated bragging in OS topic titles is really annoying.

• Text edit could have better word wrapping. I could help you out with that if you want.
• The "File" and "Edit" should only appear in the top panel when a window is focused or maximized, like in recent versions of Ubuntu.

With the text wrapping, help would be appreciated. I tried getting it looking better for ages but couldn't get it right so this is just so it won't go over.

With the File and Edit thing, the way I have it is the way it behaves in OS X. What it allows you to do is make a new document when there are not windows open.

Alright, here's a wrapping function.

local function wrap(text, limit)
	local lines = {''}
	for word, space in text:gmatch('(%S+)(%s*)') do
		local temp = lines[#lines] .. word .. space:gsub('\n','')
		if #temp > limit then
			table.insert(lines, '')
		end
		if space:find('\n') then
			lines[#lines] = lines[#lines] .. word
			
			space = space:gsub('\n', function()
				table.insert(lines, '')
				return ''
			end)
		else
			lines[#lines] = lines[#lines] .. word .. space
		end
	end
	return lines
end

It returns a table of lines, and the limit is the point at which each line should be wrapped. It breaks when a line is longer than it should be, and it also breaks at \n characters.

Ah, I see. Great idea.

Also, right off the bat, the first setup screen seems to annoyingly flicker every second, and I really shouldn't be able to resize it, haha.



Should make resizable-ness a property for windows.

Your OS, is brilliant, I can tell you spent many many many hours of your time working on this. It works beautifully, though some things that are a bit off that I have noticed:

• When clicking on a window or dragging on a window over a window, it should have "focus" and be on the top of the window, whereas when I opened a finder window and the about finder window and I tried to drag the about finder windown over the finder window, it didn't go on top of it, instead it went below it
• When browsing through finder, frequently I get a crash: PearOS.lua:1782:vm error:(Java out of bounds exception)

Apart from that, it's REALLY beautiful and amazing. I would reallyy like writing apps for your OS.

To be fair, PearOS does need a console emulator, and that would pretty much complete it. Though I like to think of it as transitioning to another OS in real life - not all programs are going to be compatible with that OS, unless you use something like wine, which even then can backfire on you sometimes.

I have almost finished the emulator but it wasn't working well enough to be included.

First of all: PearOS looks great, although I personally ​hate OSX (no flamewar intended). I played around with the 'operating system' for a while and I'm definitely fond of its graphical aspect.

On the other hand, I did experience flickering (note: I used CC-emu, so it's not PearOS's fault; though it would be great to see a fix) and I frequently encountered errors, for example when just dragging/resizing a window or clicking another section in the 'system preferences' application.

Also, when you drag a window outside the 'view' (screen), is it possible to retrieve it, if yes, how?

—-
More or less off-topic: I don't know if you're still in need of people to make apps for PearOS, but if you are, I would love to help. I do think that you should somehow add documentation, so developers can make PearOS .app 'files'.
—-

Nonetheless, a great ComputerCraft operating system, of which I hope it will get a lot better in the future!

Wow… this looks pretty nice. And this is coming from an anti-Apple person. :)/>
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising.

Quick question - How modular is PearOS? (ie if I want to replace the OSX look, do I need to replace alot?)
Not to detract from the work, but RunAsSudo made an awesome proof of concept OS where most of the
pieces (including the desktop environment) were modular and replaceable. As much as I like his vision behind
it, I definitely feel the 'proof of concept' aspect of it. Maybe PearOS will take that model to the next level?

At any rate, this looks great, can't wait to try it out.

Kingdaro, on 13 March 2013 - 01:10 PM said:

The main thing I hated about NPaintPro (or just the default program - was too lazy to download paintpro lol) was that the image was never really cropped, and image files would just be massive arrays of whitespace. That and color choosing was tedious, as I had to move long mouse distances if I wanted multiple colors.

I'd like to have a program, where a nice array of colors pops up on right-click, so color switching is quick and convenient, and I'd also like to allow custom canvas sizes, along with the ability to scale images.

Rosetta and X11 were actually on Mac OS X concurrently. Rosetta allowed the Mac to run PowerPC apps… X11 (originally) allowed Mac to run programs that were made for the X11 operating system, but ended up allowing some Windows and Linux distros to run on Mac.

Basically, just makes it so you don't have to go to custom OS to add it. No redistibuting, just adding the URL to get it from. If your OS auto-updates, then it should be fine. Otherwise, you would have to go to the shell and rerun your installer again. But anyway, nothing that would take the attention away from your OS. :P/>

No, in fact this allows even more people to use it. My packaging utility allows for installation without HTTP or file copying with direct copy and paste. Take a look at it for more info.

(Not to sound rude or anything)
But copying and pasting the entirety of PearOS packaged, would take an AWFULLYLYY LONG amount of time on a mutliplayer server. Also not to mention how copying pasting works in CC is by calling all of the key events, automatically, so basically this would cause a massive packet spam to the server and it isn't guranteed that every single packet will go through. It has happend to me that copying and pasting, even code as short as 30 characters can cause trimming and missing characters. Now since PearOS is soo huge, and 1 character missing can break the entire thing. I don't think your package manager would work well. Although it is a great concept, but I don't think it is a suitable replacement for HTTP.

Here are some quick changes that I made to your code.

Make the logo appear in the centre of the screen

Spoiler

Change line 203 on the startup file

paintutils.drawImage(logo,20,4)

To this:

local logox, logoy = term.getSize()
paintutils.drawImage(logo,logox/2-3,logoy/2-3)

Now the logo will appear in the center of the screen no matter it's size

Make the "Starting PearOS in verbose (debug) mode." appear correctly.

Spoiler

Change the "if verbose then" check to this:

if verbose then
	term.scroll(1)
	term.setTextColor(colors.black)
	text = "Starting PearOS in verbose (debug) mode."
	local screensizex, screensizey = term.getSize()
	PrintCentered(text,screensizey/2+6)
	sleep(1)
	init()
else

Bugs I found:

The Close Window command crashes the OS if no window is selected.

Spoiler

you should make an emulator inside(That emulates a individual startup and autorun and a disk drive that is capable to load a folder/real disk.

If you mean run normal programs:
I am already working on that, read the bit about Rosetta above.

If you mean run a normal CraftOS inside PearOS:
What's the point???

I mean run Whatever OS!Like LyqydOS + KREOS + CraftOS + SimpleOS + Whatever…
Just awesome!

I see, I guess X11/Rosetta (what ever I call it) could do that. I don't really see a need, but I'll look in to it.

Hey good job! You even got the mac garbage included in PearOS, good job!
First off, when you're zipping stuff on a mac, can you please remove the garbage it puts like .DS_Store and _MACOSX or use a zipping app that doesn't put that garbage?

Install launch:
Resizing windows is kind of awkward atm, you have to resize it by the little % sign, but doing so moves your grasp to the shadow and not the window.
I'm also getting flickering on those first time windows.

After installed:
That pear logo is off center.
I do like that it sets the label of the computer when you start it so you don't loose data.
I also like that the launcher bar stays on top of windows (A problem I had in GamsShell)
The flickering is much worse now.
Its extremly hard to use textedit now because of it.
The task switching works pretty good.
I noticed that in System Preferences, going to Apperance and then everything else kept the contents of Apperance.
Nothing in System Preferences has any content except Apperance, is this supposed to be like this?

Switching locations in Finder doesn't update the cursor pos of the edit box. It should just unfocus (Not sure how your GUI api works, or if you're even using one.)
What is the " < | > " thing on the finder window, it does nothing?
Running any applications from Finder crashes PearOS
Welp … just crashed with this: PearOS.lua:1783: vm error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 256

Holding H during boot seems to do nothing, but pressing V did work.
I like the little $ on the shell prompt.
Is the crash handler on debug mode supposed to be different? I don't use MACs too much.

When opening the About this Pear window, it opens below all of the open windows and doesn't show up in finder.
The same issue occurs with trying to open the About Finder box.
Though it acts like its on top because clicking in the area where the X would be closes it.
Tried to resize the About this Pear window but crashed with this:
Finder:203: index expected but got nil. This makes me wonder if you run your applications in protected environments, or atleast the Graphical environment.
Also got this message by clicking on the "A" for About.
Also, this didn't get into the Crash handler, this dropped me to shell, yet doing the same action twice got me in the Crash Handler.

If you click on the middle of the About this Pear, you'll get:
PearOS.lua:259: attempt to perform arithmetic __add on nil and number
Same issue with the About Finder box.

I was randomly opening finder and then open'd About this Pear again, got:
PearOS.lua:2178: attempt to call nil

I see you added in a Ctrl-R handler so it reboot immediatly, not really a good idea because people are used to holding it down, and so it reboots twice.
And the crash handler reboots immediatly when you press just Ctrl, so that even more confusing.

When trying to click the Pear menu, sometimes it randomly closes back up.

Going to CraftOS and then exiting CraftOS doesn't return to PearOS. Infact actually i think the computer shut down.
Ah now that i think about it, it seems you exit PearOS to go to Shell, instead of opening the Shell within PearOS

When opening a new finder window and then a second one, I was dragging the window on top and it was actually grabbing the one on the bottom, not sure if this is the same issue with the About this Pear window opening under everything.

I see a activator key of #N to open a new window of finder, but what is the # key, litterly #?

On the crash handler, clicking anywhere doesn't do anything, only pressing a key.

The screen doesn't update fast enough, the clock will sometimes skip a number.

What are these things that are supposed to be on my desktop, but don't show up on the desktop?
PearOS, PearOS Backup 1, PearOS Backup 2, PearOS Backup 3.lua, PearOS Backup 4.lua

When you start dragging a window, and then click drag somewhere else, the window will snap to your mouse, even though you clicked somewhere else.
Resizing Text Edit doesn't resize the text box.
Clicking Text Edit's preferences just closed the window.

Clicking on Text Edit's about window gives me this error:
TextEdit:86: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

More things later, have to go do something.

After code investigation:
Will fill with content later, gotta go do something.

Regarding this, I was wondering because i know it sends a click event and then more dragging afterwards, if you detect the click then you should immediatly stop draggin what ever was last dragged and possible switch it to something else.

But you see, the benefit to a web installer is that instead of having to compile all the files again, you just have to update them on Dropbox or GitHub or whatever, and voila! No need to re-compile the files into an installer, and update Pastebin. And it doesn't take hours to make a web installer… It's the easiest part about making a program with multiple files…
You spend time once making an installer, instead of spending time every time you want to fix a simple bug updating a silly, huge, package. Plus installers can give you a progress bar.

And did you intend to not edit the old post? Why did you need a new topic?

I do love the look of this OS…

any chance in the future of adding a 'fullscreen' mode where you click maybe a % in the top-right corner… like 10.7+…

I take the side of Grav here, it is much easier for YOU the developer if you make an installer and use something like GitHub (which also gives you awesome things such as version control and wikis) to download the content from. It doesn't really change much for the users, they don't see the backend. But for us! it makes it so much easier to just have a one off script, which occasionally might need an update, which just goes and downloads from a common easily updatable location… Hell if I was doing it I would go to the extreme and implement delta updates. Have a crc api validate the checksums of the current files against a db on GitHub or such to see what it needs to download, its what I always planned for CCTube, since it has ~25 apis and such…

Thanks for your advice and support.
First of all, can you explain what this peripheral thing is. I don't really get it.
I am working on a way to convert programs at the moment.
As has been mentioned earlier, I'm not a fan of using HTTP. Most people who have ComputerCraft don't have it on. Now, for an App Store it is obviously required. But I don't really want to make the installer reliant on HTTP.
I think an App Store is a must, in fact it's been in the main menu since I started it.

And as Leonardoas26 said, with the liciense I'm using on PearOS you aren't allowed (with out my permission) to modify PearOS distribute your version. (This means you can change it with out giving it to people). The reason I did this is because I believe that rather than having 20 different versions, all with different features, there is one easy to find version that is consistent and has all the functionality of what would be 20 versions.

I do intend to have a website for applications, but to download you would do it through the application, or download it on you browser and copy it

Can we make and distribute changes through patches, like mods?

PS: I think that you should make a package installer program. The app store would download the package and tell the package installer to install it. By doing so, people without the HTTP api could download the package manually and install it through the package installer, just like with the store.
I believe that's the way Android does it

Virtual Keyboard for TouchScreen Monitors,

oeed when you get back, have a look at my CCKeyboard to be able to do this nice and easily, It replicates the look of the iOS keyboard and I'm currently working on letting developers add their own keyboard screens, maybe even layouts later too… oh and I'm looking at having a virtual keyboard on the terminal too, just for fun :P/> but really its designed for monitors. /endshamlessplug

TableCraft0r,
I think redistributing a modified version of PearOS is against the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0) License.
I don't think you should be doing it unless you have the original author's permission.

While I do agree that uploading apps through a website is nice, I am 90% sure that oeed will say that the use of the HTTP api should be kept to a minimum.
Besides, I think it would be better to do it in-game rather than creating a website.
Again, this is oeed's decision.

P.S.: The key used for taking screenshots is F1 (CCEmu)

Cool, thank you, that error message should be a lot more useful for oeed. now it can be seen a lot better on what is going on. as opposed to such a generic function call erroring.
Although that error should be enough, maybe in the code I asked you to put in change the ", 2" to a ", 3" and also post that error message, might be a little bit more helpful too. :)/>

 if not tImage then error("Insignificant Error Message...", 2) end 

OSDrawing:128: attempt to get length of nil

OSDockItem:36: Insignificant Error Message…

OSDock:31: Insignificant Error Message…

And i got OSClockButton:30: attempt toindex ? (a nil value)

Thandruil, on 08 April 2013 - 10:31 PM said:

It won't work for me, probarly because of the capital in the startup file. Is it a config thingy?

theoriginalbit, on 09 April 2013 - 05:13 PM said:

Ok so both people are getting this error at level 1.

OSDrawing:128: attempt to get length of nil

One person gets this error at level 2.

OSDockItem:36: Insignificant Error Message…

And this error at level 3.

OSDock:31: Insignificant Error Message…

And the other is getting this error at level 2.

And i got OSClockButton:30: attempt toindex ? (a nil value)

Interesting you are both getting different causes… well hopefully oeed will be able to figure these out when he is back and fix them :)/>

but to me it seems the problem is that some images are missing. try redownloading the OS to make sure that all the files are there…

Well, nice OS, but there is a bug, when you maximize a window, and press the maximize button again in mac, it should go again to the last size, no stay Maximized

Edit: Text edit crashes when clicking in preferences in its window

Edit 2: Opening "Open Me!.txt" and scrlling in it closes it (crash?)

Edit 3: It appears that scrolling crashes every but the init window for textedit, closed it and the OS crashed… Reproducing: Open text Edit, open a new file, scroll in it, try to close the first window of TE and CRASH Text Edit: 76 : Failed to Open

Basically, just makes it so you don't have to go to custom OS to add it. No redistibuting, just adding the URL to get it from. If your OS auto-updates, then it should be fine. Otherwise, you would have to go to the shell and rerun your installer again. But anyway, nothing that would take the attention away from your OS. :P/>

I've decided that to make this project open source. I've been rather busy lately and have lost interest. Essentially you may use the code as you wish. Create your own Windows style OS, create your own apps, whatever you want. You are also welcome to share your code. However, if you do share it you MUST credit Pear OS and either PM me your project or post here (simply because I want to see what you make with it).

What I love about the OS: Nice GUI and features. Might find myself using it.
What I dislike about it: PearOS already exists as a product and you'll find yourself in some trouble if you continue using the name. Even though the other PearOS is open-source as well, nobody wants name conflicts.

First, I'd try to make a rectangle, or even just character that you can drag around the screen. Feel free to go through PearOS and see how it works. If you need anymore help or you have any questions PM me.

Yeah, I've been trying to make a shape API, one that allows you to draw boxes, circles and stuff. I even made a few functions that allow you to draw draggable boxes, so I know a little bit about the "mouse_drag" events.

But the thing i'm wondering is how to get a shell to run inside the box, and how to run more than 1 of them.

Thanks for the permission too :D/>

The flickering may be easiest solved by buffering the screen output and comparing it against new draws so that only changed lines need to be redrawn, and then only redrawing those lines when the program yields. That's how I killed the flickering in LyqydOS. :)/>/>

Also you can allow windows and other stuff to draw themself in some sort of a buffer and at the end of this process just draw the buffer on the screen. Thi will free you from comparing changes in old and new version. I've implemented this solution in my OS.
