Well I'm not exactly interested in working on developing this project with you, I do always like helping people solve problems. So if you have any specific problems that you come across during development, post them here and I'd be happy to take a look.

Wow, this is a really nice project. I think this can come out to maybe if you think big… to an OS (operating system). I am not skilled enough to help you developing this, but I will give constructive feedback on the outcome of this. Hope to hear much from this :)/>

Thank you guys for your support!

I am currently working on a file browser, I would appreciate any help and support.
Eventually I will add a Mouse-supported version of SelectGUI which will be quite different from the keyboard version.
(keyboard version can be used in 'safe-mode')

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to try make my own file browser first. If I can't successfully make my own file browser then I will consider adding yours to SelectOS.

Maybe have it check if its colour|mouse or not and if it isn't colour|mouse then blocks the colour|mouse installation

Of course, its awesome.
How would you improve it? have it not error on files contents? thats pretty much the only thing i can think of. only reason it does with files contents is they are so damn long the computer doesn't yield.

If probably use

if not term.isColor and term.isColor() then

that way its compatible with cc1.3 as well

  --up to date, regular computer (can still use black and white colors)

You would want this instead, actually:

if term.isColor and term.isColor() then
  --up to date, adv. computer
elseif term.isColor and not term.isColor() then
  --up to date, regular computer (can still use black and white colors)
else
  --not up to date, cannot use any colors.

Now I need to implement the mouse_click & keyboard functionality for [ File ] Which I will need Skullblades help with the mouse part of that since I don't know how his mouse code works.
For the keyboard functionality though, I think you should press ctrl then use the directional keys to navigate the taskbar (The grey bar at the top) Or I could have it so when you press Ctrl+F it opens the [ File ] Bit.

What File is for you may ask?

It will have the following selections in it:

* Run
* Edit
* List

Run will open up a text input box which you then input what program you want to run and then it runs it
Edit will do the same as Run but instead of running the program it will edit it.
And List (Which may be removed) will list all the programs that you can run.

Mouse click detection is quite simple:

--Code
local event, button, xPos, yPos = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
if button == [1 or 2] then--One being left click, two being right click
if (xPos >= [First pos] and xPos <= [Last pos] and yPos == [y pos]) then --Something

Its not really advanced but if you pm me a link to the current code i cant look at what your doing with the [File]

How i did mouse
I checked if the Y you clicked minus the space above options (space above 1st option) isn't nil in the table of options. (Checking Y)
I then checked if the X was within the text for the option (this is were it gets complicated…i had to reverse engineer the print center function…)

How would I make it so that the user can only enter a number and not a letter?

Pretty sure there is a way to do it in Lua but it doesn't work in CC, unless its fixed or I'm just going crazy and there isn't one, short of that you have to write a custom read function. here I made one for you ;)/>

Spoiler

-- this function is from my extended string library
function isNumeric( str )
  if type( str ) ~= "string" then error( "Bad argument: String expected, got "..type( str ), 2 ) end
  local found = str:find( "%D" )
  return found == nil
end

local function getNumberInput(mask)
  local input = ""
  local sx,sy = term.getCursorPos()
  local sw,sh = term.getSize()

  while true do
	local event, code = os.pullEvent()
	if event == "char" and isNumeric(code) then
	  input = input..code
	elseif event == "key" then
	  if code == 14 then -- backspace
		input = input:sub(1,#input-1)
	  elseif code == 28 then -- enter
		return input
	  end
	end
	term.setCursorPos(sx,sy)
	if mask then
	  write(input and (string.rep("*",#input).." ") or "")
	else
	  write(input.." " or "")
	end
  end

  error("Should never get here!",2)

Thanks, now I'm just wondering if there is a better way to host SelectOS's Files instead of using pastebin.
(You see if I was to implement what you just posted I would have to delete the current timer via update and then have it download the new timer.)

It may look like a BSoD but it isn't I just forgot to set the text colour for the updater back to white.
I haven't coded the BSoD yet.

GitHub or a server. but pastebin is better for things like installers and such, so that people dont have to have access to the computer files.
I personally use github for all my projects and updaters pull from github because I have a bad habit of forgetting to update the pastebins.

Well you point the updater to the raw version of your files on the main branch.

If you have an updater that goes to pastebin for updates, then when you change the updater to point to github the next time it checks for an update it will take from github. but you are going to either have to have the program just periodically check, or ask a server, or check a file, to see if there is an update

Yeah but I don't know if I have the skill to do that, I also think that people aren't actually using SelectOS which discourages me. But I'll give it a go, I just need to become a bit more experianced with mouse api first though.

local event, button, xPos, yPos = os.pullEvent()

if event == "mouse_click" then
  if button == 1 then -- 1 is left, 2 is right, 3 is middle
    print("Clicked at X: "..xPos.." Y: "..yPos)
  end
end

if event == "mouse_click" then
   -- stuff
elseif event == "monitor_touch" and button == "left" then -- or whatever side the monitor we are drawing on is
   os.queueEvent("mouse_click", 1, xPos, yPos) -- with monitor touch the 2nd parameter is the side, we don't want this
end

Its really hard to know if people are or not. sometimes you just have to keep going and assume people are. if everyone stopped if they didn't think people were using their stuff then there would be a lot less on these forums. and I would have 1 program not ~32.

Mouse stuff isn't too hard. there is no api though.

local event, button, xPos, yPos = os.pullEvent()

if event == "mouse_click" then
  if button == 1 then -- 1 is left, 2 is right, 3 is middle
	print("Clicked at X: "..xPos.." Y: "..yPos)
  end
end

and if you wanted to add monitor touch support

if event == "mouse_click" then
   -- stuff
elseif event == "monitor_touch" and button == "left" then -- or whatever side the monitor we are drawing on is
   os.queueEvent("mouse_click", 1, xPos, yPos) -- with monitor touch the 2nd parameter is the side, we don't want this
