Here is the subject from the author. All wishes and suggestions - to the author's e-mail.

Here, I wasn’t lazy and typed in the subject file.
Already done:
[-] When the display is disabled 'color' files, rename is buggy
[-] A buggy version of TR-DOS system variables got into QC2.6rom,
because of which programs sometimes did not start
[-] If in the main mode you place the cursor on the last file, then
go into marking mode, find this basic file and delete it,
then when you return to the main mode, the cursor will be in an empty place and
it will be easy to move around everything screen
[-] When there are 0 files on the disk, switching 'Speed' (button 'S') does not work
[+] Printing three-character file extensions
[+] New Pro Tracker player version 3.51f!x, with a fixed glitch from
Ivan Roshchin
[+] Automatic detection of the encoding of the file being viewed
[+] In the setup it is possible to set the colors of different groups of files yourself,
a new group of files has also been added - Alasmov source codes ('H')
[+] The volume of viewed text is printed in the viewer as a percentage
[+] The design of the viewer has been updated. Now it prints: whether the
Wrap mode is enabled or not, file name + 3-character extension, what encoding
the file is being viewed in (DOS/WIN/KOI), file size inbytes
[*] Other improvements to the viewer (keyboard chattering has been eliminated, freezing
on PC keyboards, incorrect polling on Quorum ROMs, etc.)
Now I’m considering whether to change the memory driver to another one, and if I still don’t have to change, then all that remains is to do:
- the memory test does not spoil anything (redo the detection);
- the copy of QC in the 7th bank is not killed (setting in the setup)
- the Ram Disk Real Commander is not killed
- fix the 'W' button: so that when loading in the 48th mode, it does not
include the 128th
- the amount of memory is displayed on the main panel, when switching to the
marking mode, the volume of the copy buffer in sectors is displayed
- when running on Run_48 instead of turning off the memory, page #30 is turned on and the program starts (observed on Pentagon 1024K)
- Quickly change the receiver drive using the ss+1..4 keys
- Skip pages occupied by alasm files (setting in the setup)
Plus I want to do, but not in this version:
- Saving Quick's boot to disk when you press 'S' in the main menu
(was only in Beta Commander)
- Support for #3d13 and RC ram disk
- Another disk formatter (for example, torn from RDS)
- Some kind of built-in setup
- Normal marking of files with the mouse (as on PC)
- Moving files
- Request when copying existing ones files
(as inGlobal Commander - add/skip/over/all)
- Possibility of playing music in the background (especially while
viewing text).
- Selecting files by a given mask
- Launching code files.
Sincerely,
Specter mailto:spect...@euro.ru
