Looks really good, it has a much cleaner UI than many other CC operating systems.

So I played around with it to try and find some bugs, I ended up finding two.
When setting up the computer if I disabled enter password on boot the computer would load but then it would flash a blue screen with text on it for a split second and then reboot.- The file editor doesn't seem to work, nothing happens when I click it, is it actually implemented?
- I the BIOS when setting up checking is misspelt (it is put as 'cheching'), not really a bug but it should be changed.

1. Left Click = run, right click = sub menu (edit or paint, delete, cut, copy…). It works for me.So I played around with it to try and find some bugs, I ended up finding two.That was all I could find while testing the OS, seems pretty solid other than the things listed above.

2. I haven't done the feature to set up the password. Then what are talking about? Can you post a video with that?
3. Yeah… I was printing very fast and forgot to fix that… (I must change it to Checking) I will fix that problem in next update!

Okay don't worry about the password, that's a problem with my computer. I had a custom password on it and it broke the OS. Sorry.
Unfortunately (even on a new in-game computer) the file system doesn't seem to work, it works on other OS's like OneOS but not on this one. By this I mean that it flickers non stop (no matter what I'm doing / when I'm not doing anything) making it impossible to use.
I also found another minor problem, if you open a program while the # button is open the # button stays highlighted, not major but easy to fix and I might as well report it anyway.

Clean OS, but when someone is giving you feedback, please don't shrug it off and blame the version they are using, looking through the comments, you refuse to actually acknowledge the bugs. If you're gonna make a CC OS, then at least attempt to fix problems for all users, even if you can't get the problem attempt to re-create it or change the logic and see if it has changed, because it needs to be usable for everyone and other people may have the same problem and haven't reported the bug.
Just be a little more understanding and maybe see if you can fix the error, because if someone has chosen to use your OS, and there is an error and you say "Only you have got this problem" then why would they bother using it again if the creator is a little uncooperative.
The OS does have quite a few bugs, and you're best off fixing these and re-releasing it as a new version.Do a lot of testing before you release the system, as many members seem to release OS's that are buggy and not 'usable', so I would recommend finishing it, adding some functionality, and then making sure (by your own testing) there are no errors then maybe even release it as a beta version :D/>
EDIT: I see it is a pre-release which is fair enough! Make sure to release it fully as I would like to test it! Just don't leave it dormant!
This is a personal preference but I hate the fact you have the boot load? that just uses sleeps, if anything use some kind of screen to make it a little "cleaner", so it is all contained!
Anyway nice idea! :)/>

I got it! It can be because he has slow computer! Ohh, I should rewrite the refresh function. It will fix the flickers. But the file system doesn't work for someone. Then if it doesn't work, how it can use the computercraft? I use only fs thing… Don't know how to fix it…

To fix flickering, you should use a framebuffer that only draws changes. The cause of the flickering is that the time between when you clear the screen and when you draw to it is long enough for the user to see.

Or (I don't know how to work with this) I can simply redraw only the file list area. That won't flick the screen, but only part with files! That will be better than now!

I found very much of bugs… And the code will be rewritten! With that the look of the OS will change too! Wait for most awesome update! (v2)
I'm planning make the window API. Where all of the windows can be moved. But there will be problem with multitasking. The OS (first time) will able to handle only 1 window!
Maybe with time, I will make the better multitasking.

The boot now uses 10 secs, and I'm talking about the v2. V2 isn't released for now… It's under development.

I still can't work out if booting in 10 seconds is a good thing or a bad thing. Looking at your version 1 code, you sleep for 0.8 seconds for every file. Then an additional 5 seconds in other parts of the startup file! My rule generally is, if you are doing something just so it looks pretty, then don't do it. Sleeping does nothing apart from make people wait.
It looks like a nice operating system though.

I really like the layout, it looks beautiful, but it would be nice if you started implementing an API to interact with the core.

I can post list of commands which the OS uses. There is no core)))

I'm saying it would just be nice if there was an API, it's always cool to have an API with your program, so people can add special support for your OS.I can post list of commands which the OS uses. There is no core)))

At least it has multitasking

I'll be honest here.. Please don't use fake loading screens. I'm not gonna complain about them too much, but fake loading screens are annoying to most people.

Today I'll release v2.1, where I have removed all fake loading screens. Also, I added settings(which have only 1 option), added Paint(by me), xEdit(Thx to wieselkatze), Calculator(by me)! Now, the OS are overriding os.shutdown() and os.reboot(), with that you'll see different shutdown and reboot screens. And bug fixes) Also, I'll post a list of functions which OS uses, so you can use them too. Sooo! Wait! I'll release the update at 16:00 GTM +2:00.

You should just use Dropbox. It's a lot easier to deal with. Besides…
Source9. Account can not be used to store files only, all websites need to have normal content.
That's probably also the reason why your site was gone all of a sudden.

I has removed all the fake screens, all useless sleeps and now, OS loads in 3 seconds!!!!!
But there is a thing with epilepsy, because the screens changes so fast!
With pressing a key (in bios if you will press any button except B, it will load more faster) it loads in 2 seconds!

Why don't you make some kind of screen for loading with an animation while in the background doing all the things it needs to?

Posted 08 April 2015 - 01:25 PM
Actually, when computer is booting, you can call the BIOS by pressing B. When the blue progress bar has reached the side, it loads the multitasking and functions immediately. Then it goes to Boot.lua which prints "Booting…" on center of screen, then it goes to Desktop. There is no need to use the loading screens. Some people will accept them as fake loading screens. The multitasking loads in ~0.04 seconds, what is pretty fast. But as always it do, it will decrease performance.
