Try it out!

I can't quite figure out how to run it. Where do those files go, exactly?

It should use the FAT libraries that work with all the different media-based cards. Also, there should be more documentation.

All I get is a white flash, then a blank screen. The folder and nds file are in the CF root. What am I doing wrong?

mine worked but with messy graphic and can't input any data ^_^ it still in beta..

Works for me on GBAMP with Flashme v6.
I wish I could add things to the address book though :(

Also, a little suggestion: We need to be able to clear items from the calendar in the full calendar view. Also, when an item is cleared, its file should be deleted from the directory or the program gets confused.

The day planner seems to randomly mess up and forget to list items...

Very nice app. I can't wait to see what comes of it! (And what those other three sections are... and what I can configure in the configuration section!).

Me too, are you using an M3 CF as well?

hey, this is pretty good :)

I'm using a supercard. It ran for me a couple times in version 1.0, saved appointments, etc. then in the same version, I couldn't read anything because there were black boxes covering all text and I couldn't input anything either. I deleted it and put v1.1 on the CF and still the same problem.

Using SC SD i get a message saying my card isnt supported

doesnt start on my m3 cf e14/e15 and flashme v6

One thing...why not include a glyph-writing system into it?
As an alternative to the keyboard.

(Along with a basic notepad app)

That's just what the autor want to put! Have u looked in his page? there's the table. http://img324.imageshack.us/img324/15/glyphs5ry.jpg
I thought this app already used glyph writing, but I saw not yet..

It is, altough it doesn't really work very good (but it's a good start I think). Just 'write' on the white part between the [Ins] and [Clear] (try simple ones like 'i')

ah yes. you're right.

But i only managed to write down an I :(

Works really well with my GBAmp v2 + 2.11 patch & FlashME v6.
I extracted all the files to the root of my CF, renamed the .nds to _BOOT_MP.nds, ran it, entered some testing info and turned it off, renamed _BOOT_MP.nds back to DSOrganize.nds, renamed MoonShell back to _BOOT_MP.nds and ran DSO through it. Works fine, looks like the files must not be ran with any loaders the first time. If you use M3 or SuperCard, you'll have to WMB the file, as it seems. :)

but what can you do with the folder? what happens if I put some other files on it?

I dont' have my DS with me, but I'll definitely try this when I get home and have time to put it on there.

How difficult would it be to a brew-your-own "graffiti" configuration?

I was a fan of Palm's original grafitti...well mostly...a cross between yours and Palm's would be great.

I guess a configurable "graffiti" application would be good to have in conjunction with the onscreen keyboard one.

It's working great for me as well (Flashme V6, and Chishm's v2.11). I didn't have to mess with making it my _BOOT_MP.nds or anything first - I just put the file in my apps folder and the DSOrganize folder in my root directory and started it up through Moonshell.

Version 1.21 is out now. :)
And it's very useful :)

This is really one of the better projects I've seen.
However, in my country we use zip codes like "1234 XY", but that doesn't fit. Can you make an extra option in the INI-file or something to set the length of the zipcode-field?

It isn't working in my SC SD... only two black screens...

I tried this again, and I can draw quite a few glyphs :)

I can never get "W" to work for some reason though :-/

It works on my SC SD very well but you have to add ndsmall.bin to the .nds file.

Even in the United States, postal codes are 10 characters long (5 digits, a hyphen, and 4 more digits). For example: 46808-3744

Lucky me ... I live in a country where postal codes are only 4 characters long :p

It works with Supercard SD, it just needs a loader prepended. (And Moonlight's dsbuild.exe does that nicely.)

It would be great once Configuration is set up if it became a little more international. The ability to have a 24 hour clock, or being able to have names listed like this:

[first name] [last name]

instead of:

[last name], [first name]

I think small things like that would be great.

Well... I dunno, but...

GBAMP v2, chishm's v2.11, Flashme v6, and nothing but two black screens. Tried from Moonshell as well as direct boot. Is that strange?

Same configuration and works here perfectly. Are you sure you have copied all the files to the root of your CompactFlash?

with v 1.02 I could write a "j" xd

MaHe wrote:

I had copied all the files to /DSOrganize; after reading your post I even tried to start with all the files in root, but same problem.

Your directory structure should be as follows:

MP:\
MP:\_BOOT_MP.nds (MoonShell)
MP:\DSOrganize.nds (DSOrganize Binary)
MP:\DSOrganize\ (the folder with config.ini, fake.vcf and test.vcf)

If that doesn't work ... I dunno. Try defragging.

It is like that, I even deleted other files than config.ini, fake.vcf and test.vcf.

Defragging didn't help.

My CF card is 32 MB big and doesn't have a partition table (which doesn't interest i guess). GBAMP has had latest update (e19) before firmware patch, CF vendor is SanDisk... Card is half full, I think... what else can I say...

edit: Oh yes, and I bricked GBAMP once...

Getting a white screen top, black screen bottom here - using M3 CF. If I start the game in HomeBrew mode (using Start) I get some currupt looking lines on the top screen.

derula wrote:

That doesn't really matter.
I had this problem the first time - I forgot to copy DSOrganize folder to the CF root. But it works flawlessly now :/

Maybe the problem is in your CompactFlash ... Dunno.

Version 1.5 is out ...
And it has a friggin' FILE MANAGER implemented!

A MUST DOWNLOAD! :D

The file manager is very impressive. It can even launch .nds files :)

fansmeggingtastic

Tested on SC SD. Works for the most part. The file manager freeszes when scrolling over certain files

For Supercard SD with FlashMe v6 here's what's wrong:

When hovering over NDS files, the icon is glitched, just a scramble of colors

When hovering over Rain or SgStairs WiFi Lib (homebrews) the screens swap and it freezes. I MAY have an idea about it but I want to test it out first. All my other homebrews can be selected flawlessly.

Thanks for adding the Previous/Next function to the day planner ^^.
Everything works, including New File, Rename, Delete, Copy&Paste.

Suggestions: Bind X and Y to always be Up and Open respectively. Because when copy and pasting a file you need to hit L or R to get back to Open and Up in order to navigate to another directory and then back again to the paste option to paste the file. A minor annoyance I can live with, no biggy.

Also, I notice when the browser classifies somethign as a text file, A goes from N/A to Open. Is this a hint at a possible text reader/editor in the fututre?

NOTE: Oh, and I know it only works on GBAMP, but when opening NDS files on Supercard SD it just blinks quickly and returns to DSOrganize Home. Not sure if you knew exactly what happened when we tried anyway.

The filemanager in 1.51 is excellent!
I really like how you show the icons for NDS files :)

Any chance of a Cut and Paste, so that I can move files around?

The day planner is also much improved, with the addition of multiple days.

Yes, but for big files that take up 51% of the CF card, that wouldn't work.
(I've been having fun with Moonshell and ScummVM lately).

why can't I open a folder? it resets automatically...
it's the 12th folder

ediT: using passme it works

For moving files you just need to change the path/filename in the FAT. Ever notice how it only ever takes a second to move a single file (unless to a different drive) in Windows/Linux/Mac OS/etc, no matter how big the file is? No data is actually being moved around the disk.

will this ever have sc cf support?? :(

what about this bug? Do you find it too?

what the heck?? i can no more access to the browswer window!!! It freezes!
O.o

Suggestion: If someone wants to use the handwriting recognition (HR from now on) instead of the keyboard they don't want to have to worry about not hitting the keys on the keyboard everytime they place the stylus down on the screen. Please make it so that you can switch between two screens: keyboard screen and HR screen (maybe a button in the lower right corner of the screen?).
Also the HR is a little sloppy. I'm constantly making mistakes and have to erase letters all the time. I think that if it's improved it'll be a better alternative to the keyboard, but as it stands it's kind of useless (but still pretty cool).

update v.161b

http://youngmx.com/?loc=ndsdev/DSOrganize

sigh... I think I have to format my card.. cos I cant anymore make "browser" go :(
ON the other CF it works..

Hmm, there's software for bots to like, join websites and crap that recognize characters and stuff that are on screen, i don't see why people haven't developed a way to recognize real print/hand writing so that the program can actually read it and convert it to text.

Wonder if THAT's possible.

Regardless, this is a very nice suite that everyone's been waiting a long time for.

It is. The Newton PDA could recognize handwriting, but Apple abandoned it when people didn't buy what was then the most expensive PDA on the market.

I forgot to mention that DSOrganize is working for me since v1.5. Previous versions didn't work. Strange.

Well, great work. Although some of the German translations are strange ^^

Well, with the newest edition, my NDS icons are now fine and it no longer freezes on certain files. ^^ Awesome response time dude!

the only problem I have is not being able to make a new card with 2 spaces for state.

New update 1.62

Great job, working with SC SD

Fixes in this release (1.62 BETA) include:

* Added a calculator!
* Added option to hide hidden/system files on browser.
* Hidden/system files now show up as greyed when visible.
* Several new fields to be translated.
* Fix for small fonts not showing umlats, etc.
* Fix for some things not being clickable with stylus in alternate languages.
* Fixed issue where cursor would disappear after last character on addressbook.
* Fixed issue with length of some fields being one less than needed.

DSOrganize 1.62

Love it. Keep up the good work.

One question

Is this, or something similar on the to-do list? It would be really nice if you implemented something like this later.
Also, do you have any intentions of either:

a. Improving the handwriting recognition

or

b. using the source code from DSmerlin (it works really well and I would love to see it used in DSOrganize)?

DSMerlin seems to be easier to use here.
SCSD

Version 1.7 has just been released, and it's really amazing!
http://www.youngmx.com/?loc=ndsdev/DSOrganize
The HTML help is a nice feature (and I like how it spans both screens... I'll get into that later)... is this an actual full blown HTML parser that intelligently tosses away anything it doesn't know how to do, or is it specifically built around the help content?

I have just tried out the Gif viewer and it works beautifully (I'm also surprised that Moonshell doesn't do that...), the text editor is very clean and pretty, and the syntax highlighting on ini files seems to work perfectly.
And even with all that, it looks like there are still two new features to come!

First, a bug report :(
When in the address viewer, if I have no vcard files, it'll give me an error that there are none present and there are no options displayed on screen. Pressing B, however, will create a new one... which leads me to believe that this is just an old error message which you forgot to remove from before vCard files could be created by DSOrganize.

Now, my comments on help text spanning both screens... I love this feature and hope to see it used more.
The text viewer may very well be my favourite text viewer so far on the DS. Just two things that I think could perhaps be done to make it better:
-Perhaps there could be an option to open in read mode (or change to read mode), which removes the onscreen keyboard and instead makes text span both screens like the HTML help. (With X and Y perhaps also then becoming optional buttons to page up and down?)
-Could it (or is it) possible to control the text size somehow, to be able to see more information on screen at once?

Other, more fiddly and perhaps ungrateful sounding requests:
-Bookmarks? :P You seem to have one of the best bits of DS software in terms of storing information, so I'm sure it wouldn't be too tricky.
-It would be cool if I could tell the file browser to open a file with the text viewer, even if it isn't a txt or ini file. (For example, if I wanted to blindly edit an HTML file).

Anyone get this working with Supercard CF?

Fantastic! :)
I'll test this out asap.

I knew there would be a text viewer :)

(as the file browser said open on text files :p)

The Help file reader does indeed seem to be interpreting the basic text html code.

Oooh, this is nice! I was starting to worry it was dead. My thoughts/notes as I go through...

I see the directory structure is changed. Nice, but I still have reminder and day planner files from the old version, what do I do with them?
Upon further research, looks like I can just drop them into the DAY and REMINDER directories. And I bet that's documented in some readme I didn't notice and I look like an idiot for asking. <_<

On bootup, I get two white screens until I tap the touch screen a few times.

Still doesn't show Japanese names correctly, or names with symbols (such as the A/B/X/Y buttons).

You can still select "Not Implemented" as the startup screen. :-p

Being able to create V-Card files is great; now the Address Book actually has some use to me. ;-) The keyboard in this version seems very sensitive, though, and keeps thinking I pressed things far from where I actually did (the previous version worked fine). When in Caps Lock it can be confusing; the Caps Lock key should maybe be highlighted in red. Very nice keyboard though, even though it's the same as all the other versions, just thought I'd mention that. It's easy to use, which is good because I can't seem to get handwriting to work at all (I managed to write a T, then backspace it and write an I when I wanted to write an E and not backspace).
Also, I was worried it wouldn't support Canadian postal codes, but it seems to just fine. Yay!

The file browser is... well, the same as before really. Though it seems to be thinking I pressed L or R when I didn't fairly often. My L button has been a bit unresponsive, so who knows, but it worked perfectly in a Mario Kart session just a few hours ago. It might also be the same problem as the keyboard, thinking I'd hit the L or R icons, but it didn't do other such things (randomly selecting files, closing the browser etc) so probably not.

Opening .rem files shows the date in the calendar, cool! However it doesn't actually look at the file's content. I opened one for March 31st from the old version which was just kinda in the root directory until I figure out where to put it (well, I should delete it >_> but there's others), and it highlighted that date, but didn't display anything. I guess that'd be difficult to implement.
Oh, and opening .dpl files shows the date in the day planner. Kinda expected that after noticing the above. :-p

Looking again at the main menu, it's nice that the icons are big enough to touch with your fingers, but since you need the stylus for most other functions, this isn't terribly useful. (True you can do a few things with the buttons, but then, you can select the options with the buttons too. :-p) Could there be an option to use smaller icons, so they'd all fit on one page?

Also in the browser, it might be useful to display the memory card's capacity and used/free space on the top screen. (Or does the FAT lib allow you to determine these?) Maybe show things like the dimensions and metadata of an image if one is selected.

Image viewer, frickin nice. Be even nicer if it supported zoom though. (Sorry if I sound demanding, just listing things I think would be nice to see.) I think it's the first to support animated GIFs on the DS. Doesn't support RLE bitmaps, though. I have code which can load any bitmap except 4-or-less colour, if you want it.

Text editor, also very nice. It even wraps text, unlike some viewers. :-p I do have some suggestions, though.
1) Use it more as a viewer; in place of the keyboard, show more text.
2) Ability to turn the text sideways, so you could hold the DS like a book. Would go especially well with the above suggestion.
3) Txtwriter-like shortcuts. If you've never used it, here's a brief description: The keyboard has up/down/left/right keys used for navigation, and the buttons are used in editing. Up/X is Shift, Left/Y is Backspace, Right/A is Space, and Down/B is Enter. (Using both buttons means it's good for lefties too.) It's truly an ingenious feature and I'd love to see it done here too. Perhaps L/R could switch between this and the standard A=Save, B=Cancel, Dpad=Navigate layout.
4) Option to use a fixed-width font, maybe 6x6 or 8x8. (If you've ever used my GBA Booter, you may have noticed the 6x6 font; feel free to ask for it. I intend to release the source code with the next version anyway. I didn't make the font, though.)

Syntax highlighting in INI files. Holy shit. Are you planning to put a compiler in here? :-p (Actually a sort of BASIC-like language for coding on the DS would be pretty cool, but I don't expect to see one in this app.)

Heh, weird things happen if I hold Shift and poke at the Dpad in the text editor. I screwed up the syntax highlighting somehow. (Probably just added a space.)

The built-in help is very useful. I didn't know about a lot of these features. Cool!

One small problem I noticed in the browser is it's very difficult to copy a file to the same directory with a different name. You have to copy it to a different directory, rename the copy, copy it back to the original directory, then delete the copy in the other directory. I was hoping that copying, renaming, and then pasting would do the trick, but once I've renamed a file, it forgets that I hit Copy. (It goes back to Copy rather than Paste.)
For that matter, a Move option could save some time. If you just did it by changing the file's name and path, rather than copying and deleting, it'd allow you to move files when their size is more than is available on the card.
Hm, it also doesn't prompt if you want to overwrite a file when you paste in another directory and one with that name already exists. Just overwrites it.

Heh, just two white screens if it can't load error.html. Makes sense.

Seriously this is sweet. All it needs now is an MP3 player. ;-)

Whoops, found a typo in the help file for the day planner. "Use the and [down] buttons or the stylus" - the up image is missing.

Oh, and I thought of a nice addition to the day planner/calendar the other day. Whenever the program starts up it should store the current time and date in an INI file or similar. Then on the next startup it reads that date and deletes any day planner or reminder files between then and now, and stores the current date. That way you don't have reminders in there for last month or something stupid like that.

Woah, something weird just happened. When I went to delete a file, it popped up a keyboard. I accidentally closed it right away. I hit Delete again, and it did so, but garbage appeared on the screen for a second; afterward, some random letters were displayed on the top screen. O_o
[edit] This happens every time I delete a file, except the keyboard thing (maybe I hit rename or something). The letter H flies across the top screen and stops near the top right corner. Afterward, a nameless directory, not visible on the file list itself, is selected. I can't rename it, but I can open it; this takes me to the root, but I can't select any files; hitting B a few times goes back to the directory I was in, then it works again. (Seems like the '..' directory is selected.) After deleting a few more files, instead of the letter 'H' it's a lot of numbers. This doesn't seem to happen when deleting the last file in the list.

Hmm, I see some interesting fields in sample.lng. Memory? Working? Choose Pallate (sic) File? Heh, you can even change the alphabet. O_o The "Brwoser" section is misspelled, though.

[another edit] Hm, this time when I deleted a file, it selected a zero-byte file with no name, not on the list, and a question mark for an icon. The only text on the top screen is "File Size: 0.0b", but it's repeated. Not gonna try to copy/rename it (can't open it) as I just entered like 20 entries into the address book and I don't want them to get corrupted.
Speaking of which, I noticed you can't delete entries from the address book; you have to do it in the browser. Also that keyboard bug gets to be quite a problem. It especially likes to randomly insert the letter i, presumably because it thinks I'm drawing one.

I second the sideways thing, as it could also be nice to have with the day planner... but don't feel too pressured to do that immeadiately :)
It would have been so cool if the DS had a basic tilt sensor to tell when it's being held like that, since lots of stuff makes use of it... Ah, well.

(Could get together 7 DS + 7 SCSD)

Languages: English, German

Excelent!
----------

I like;

1. Animated Gif's! Works surprisingly well, even with the stupid 4MB Nintendo/Star Wars one someone made :)

2. The text editor/reader! Great work! :)

3. Vcards! Works well. Perhaps they should save to the directory, not the route though?

4. The simple HTML help is nice. (from what I can see; , <head>,<title>, ,, and tags are supported...as well as custom bits to write button press's! :D)

I would like... ;

1. Add HTML reading/writeing to any file. (Dont worry, I dont mean a browser, but any simple html file should be able to be opened as if it was text). This could help make HTML help become standard for other homebrew apps :)

2. If you do the above, add a few more basic tags supported. (<center>,<code>,<tt>,<big>, ect)

3. Fine tuning the text reader for reading books. This simply means bookmarks really. (and a way to quickly go to a specific "page")

4. Support for the "Application Loading Path Standard" in this thread;
http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9092

Needs Fixing:

Too many files in a directory makes the directory impossible to open.
(although it doesn't crash!)

Terrific release!

Everyone pretty much hit the constructive comments that need to be said. The only other thing I might add is a power-save mode when the lid is shut (for faster access when I know I'll be doing a lot with your app).

Thanks for all your time and hard work! I'm pretty sure this is the most practical app for the Nintendoods!

i am a SC-CF user. When i open the file, both screens are black and freeze. i tried changing the .gba into .nds but it still doesnt work.I tried converting it to SC version but it still doesnt work.can someone help me?

have anyone ever used this homebrew in M3 sd?

What about a support for Dasher? I've found it out in an other thread, and I'm now convinced that this kind of app is the future for fast-writing on NDS and PDAs!

Dasher absolutely rules ^_^

Might be quite hard to intergrate though.

Hey, just noticed the calculator keys light up when touched. Neat!

Oh, and the "2 white screens until touched" is actually just "2 white screens for several seconds".

Looks like there was an update today for SC users. Maybe you guys should give that a try! =)

Oh! It works now!!! >< it looks like PDA!

update to version 1.8

Quote:

Fixes made to the current version (1.80):

* Reorganized calculator, added more commands, colored buttons.
* Fixed bug with creating vCard files when no files are present.
* Added a simple todo list app.
* Added scribble pad with saving to bmp or png.
* Fixed annoying bug where L button got random preses when using touchscreen.
* Changed vCard detection to allow 3.0 cards.
* Fixed typo in language files that caused browser formats not to be translated. Thanks Tostadilla.

Awesome. Keep up the good work :)

fantasic :)

this program would be perfect if it could open folder with many files without restarting....
This is my only problem :(

sh!t.. SD card has been "corrupted" when i used the program :(

cant format it too :(

My cf has been corrupted some months ago and i use it in that way... Well, it's full of strange filenames and folder... but it's usable XD

I cant format it very easily because I've problems with my card reader, so i keep it in that way: I send file to it via Wifitransfer and move, delete them with dslinux.

However every 4/5 weeks I format it because it becomes full and useless.

I cant even use it :(
I cant even turn on my DS (with M3) it cant find the card any more :(
anyone knows how to format it? :(
windows cant open it eather:(

HTheB, try getting a hex editor that can edit drives like Hex Workshop. Open the card and fill the first few sectors with zeros. I've heard this helps.

Now for my comments on this... Well, first of all, w00t and thanks again.
I see you fixed that "random L button press when using touch screen" bug. Good, I thought my DS was messed up! :-p
Hm, was that Ins button always on the keyboard? I see there's a Delete button on the address book's keyboard too. Not going to press them, but do they ask for confirmation? It'd suck to accidentally press them, especially since many DS apps have touchscreen accuracy problems on certain DSes.
The todo list is cool, but I see no way to set a priority or mark a task as being completed. Also it appears the Delete and Clear buttons don't ask for confirmation. (And although it doesn't hurt anything, it doesn't make sense to have a Delete button when creating a new entry. :-p)
A paint app, yay! I've really been wanting one of these, but never got around to making my own. No more crappy ASCII diagrams in the text editor! Nice description in the help file too. Even has a colour picker with custom colours. There are only two minor problems I see here: One, it's difficult to get the slider to the top since it's difficult to actually touch that area with the stylus, and two, no R/G/B display. (No need for an actual numeric input, just showing the numbers would be fine.) I can't believe all these features... line and box drawing, flood fill, eyedropper, multiple line widths, spraycan (though the spray area is HUGE), colour replacement, even a text editor! You should be selling this app to Nintendo or something man!
Woah, it's freaking out after I closed the scribble pad. The top screen keeps alternating between what it should be and a rectangle (much like the rectangle drawn around a selected menu item) everywhere I go, and it didn't save the image. (I think I might have forgot to make the directory to save them in. ^_^; ) It stopped doing that after I viewed a JPEG, though. There was also a single character in the top left corner, but it was white so I couldn't make it out. (I was hoping viewing a JPEG with a dark background would help.) Speaking of directories, there's no way to make one.
...Yeah, it's working now that I created the directory. Oops! Although it appears the only way to delete the image is from the file browser.
Coloured buttons and more functions in the calculator. Oooooooh... If this could convert to hex/octal/binary and maybe gradians, I'd never need another calculator. (Any plans for graphing functions? May as well use that empty top screen space for something. :p)
Heh, the buttons all appear white when viewed from a certain angle.
Hm, my CF card seems to have got a bit messed somehow. One of my .vcf files is in the root directory and has no extension. Windows also shows it with a ? in front of its name, and it's only 7 bytes, no information in it at all. Yay backups!
Hm, actually, I don't have such a file in my backup. I think I deleted or renamed it quite some time ago. O_o *Does a disk check to be safe* Also I notice it shows the "." and ".." directories when hidden files are enabled.

BTW, a small suggestion: The address list should show the nickname, if any, in brackets next to the real name.
Also, general suggestion to anyone doing DS dev out there: A program which could record sounds from the mic and save it as MP3 or simple compressed (maybe zipped) WAV would rock. I may do it, but I'm pretty busy.

Hey, now that there's a scribble pad, can we expect to see it expanded to be able to edit any BMP, PNG and maybe JPEG or GIF file from within the browser? I mean you could already just drop a BMP or PNG into the SCRIBBLE directory and edit it that way, but that's not very convenient. :-p (Hey, and now you can make borders for my GBA Booter right on the DS!)

Also I realize these are unlikely, but can we expect to see an MP3 player or hex viewer/editor? I mean they're practically the only things left this doesn't do. ;-) (Hex viewing at least is great for seeing what's in that random file you don't recognize, and pretty easy to implement.)

[edit] Hm, it did indeed corrupt a few things, some files went missing. Probably from trying to save an image when the directory didn't exist. Come to think of it, that rectangle looked quite a bit like the progress bar shown when saving an image.

This is what i get with hex workshop:
http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8775/aszz2pk.jpg

Anyway when i open the card, it says: The drive cotains a layout irrevularity- the partition (1863540 sectors) appears to be larger than volume (1870753 sectors). This is likely a corrupt drive or some form of copy protection.

What should i do? fill with "0" what?

Select all of those bytes it shows when you first open the drive, then go to Edit -> Fill and enter 0. However I suggest you copy them first and paste them in a new file, in case this doesn't work.

And yeah, confirmation when clearing, deleting or closing the text editor without saving would be a good thing. Pressing B by accident and deleting everything you just wrote sucks. :-(

well.. I put my SD card into my PDA... and it formatted automatically.. it works now again.. (but allmy data is lost offcourse :D)

Maybe the support could be made same way as there is M3 SD support in MoonShell?

Well if you're having problems I suggest you just put it in the camera again. If you want to use the hex editor though, just keep clicking Next Sector and repeating the process.

I just read that Sata's FAT lib (used in Sata's RAIN r14) has good support for M3.
Would it be too hard to use that instead for DSOrganize to give M3 SD reading/writing support?

EDIT: typo fixed

update 1.9 DSOgranize

Great job

Very Cool. Love the waveform visualization on tracker files.

DSOrganize with emulator

Since it's really lame to translate without knowing if the texts fits or not, etc. I would use emulator for testing.

I did manage to get version 1.8 running with emulator, but I can't remember what was the name of it.. ideas or dualis, or dsemu? Version 1.9 crashes with all of the emulators, even if try to change the settings (doh). Is it only me or is others having the similar issues?

EDIT: Doh, With Dualis v20.2 (Rendered: D3D) only the version 1.8 runs. :( Running 1.9 I only see grey line in the middle of the screens.

this program is rocking! But unfortunately ther is still the bug that it freezes if I try to open a folder with too many files :(( Why??
If this bug was corrected, it would be better than moonshel!!

It would be nice if the shoulder buttons were not used when the lid is closed like Moonshell.

That way you can listen to mp3s with your DS in your pocket and not accidentally press the L and R buttons.

Press start when playing music files to freeze the shoulder buttons.

This neat little application already replaced MoonShell as my bootloader :D
Still, I kept MS on the CF because it has it's advantages :)

http://www.youngmx.com/ndsdev/DSOrganizeB1_9_Preview.zip

This is such an awesome program. I still prefer Moonshell's MP3 playback, but that doesn't really matter for as often as I actually listen to music on my DS (without playing Dai Gassou!).

One thing I would really like to see in the next release is the text editor being able to open more file types (I'm mainly thinking .cfg files).

i tought about this:
if a file has a unknown extention.. make something that it will say: "open with..." (like windows do)
:)

(maybe a new task for the next release?) :)

EDIT: grammer :P

Support for opening (very basic) HTML would be nice.
So people can make their own help files for DS games/apps.

Not really important, but seeing as its there anyway, would be nice to expand it a bit.

Found it, thanks.

Woot. MP3 playback and image slideshow functions r teh rox.

Unfortunately I've found a few more problems/bugs. I found most with the previous version, but I checked to make sure they're still valid.

In the scribble pad:
-Weird things happen if you save an image while drawing a text box. Not only can you do this by pressing L before you release the stylus, but also by drawing a box too small for any text.

-Lack of undo and cut/copy/paste make it difficult to recover from mistakes. (It doesn't help that it occasionally reads the touch screen wrong, causing big lines to appear.)

-Due to the DS's design combined with touchscreen accuracy problems, it's nearly impossible to reach the edges of the screen. This makes it difficult to use the fill tool on areas at the edge, such as when drawing a boat in the water.

-Small white squares appear in the image randomly. Sometimes they cannot be erased. (Haven't seen this in the latest version.)

-If a corrupt PNG is present in the SCRIBBLE directory, selecting the scribble pad freezes the program. The corrupt PNG was actually created when the previous version glitched up while saving for no apparent reason. (Over 100MB left on the card.) The progress bar jumped around, it swapped the screens, and it froze.

In the image viewer:
-8-bit PNG with alpha displays stretched and miscoloured. Interestingly, the image is not skewed.

-Large images cannot be rendered, however, it does not explain why. Moonshell would freeze when opening them, which suggests that they are too large, but others with larger file size and dimensions work OK. With very large images or animated GIFs (300x300, ~8 frames) it just freezes. (Not tested on current version, but it all acts the same.)

In the calculator:
-acos(0) = 90.0000000003?

In other places:
-X and Y don't work when renaming files.

It also doesn't seem to be writing files properly. When I rebooted Windows with the CF card inserted, it removed several nonvalid long folder entries from various directories I'd accessed in DSOrganize, and several files I'd deleted from within the browser returned. I think it was all files I'd deleted (the number of errors in each folder is, IIRC, the number of files I'd deleted from that folder), not all of them were undeleted though.

BTW, how does it know which images to list in the scribble pad? A PNG that I copied into /SCRIBBLE won't show up. Also, I just noticed this keyboard has no backslash. O_o

And I still can't figure out how to work that todo list app...

This has happened to me.

The other popular draw program has the same problem. But you're in luck: Now that the latest version of my AXE demo displays trails, I plan to research an outlier-rejection algorithm that any program that uses touch can use.

Workaround: Use the airbrush tool to set the edge.

Ten bucks says they're somehow related to the color picker.

Radians. Floating point.

Yeah, I found the airbrush trick yesterday. And they are the same little white squares as the colour picker.

According to Windows calculator, though, acos(0) = 90.

That's my fault. The current FAT library doesn't remove long file names when deleting a file. This will not cause any long term damage though.

There also seems to be some entry mismatch happening when creating new files. I am suspecting it also doesn't create a long filename entry when you create a 8.3 file name (in small letters)? After mismatch happens, the program gets confused when I open a file, sometimes it opens an incorrect file instead... Maybe it's best to always have 2 entries (long and short) synced up?

Known bug. Should be fixed next version. Hopefully.

Second.
I loved that ability on the GBAMP's default firmwhere.
(shame it was only using wavs :p)

oh, is it possible to create a folder on my CF using DSOrganiser?

I got a create file option...is there just an extension I give a file to make it a folder? or is that optimistic?

Impossible. However, you can still use DSLinux to do that :D

Is anyone else having problems booting DSLinux through recent versions of DSOrganize on GBAMP?

I can confirm that (never checked it before, actually), but DSLinux does not boot. This problem makes DSOrganize useless as a bootloader for various people... Moonshell has similar trouble booting the MKDS track hack.

Is there something popular that neither MoonShell nor DSOrganize can boot? Or is there a good reason not to keep both programs on one 256 MB CF card?

I wonder why he/they haven't updated the Swedish translation file, I sent it to them over a week ago. :(

It turned out that AXE only didn't work because my CF card was partually unreadable, but worked again after formatting it.

Wow. I finally got around to trying this out (Beta 1.9 Preview 2). Very cool collection of applications. It seems that when I try to save a Scribble image in PNG format, the DS freezes before it complete. This happens with both my GBAMP and SCSD. It's also frozen a few other times while in the Browser and usually occurs after I've been loading images (although this is pretty random). Also, launching MoonShell from DSOrganize kills the touchscreen (and I can't even get MoonShell to launch DSOrganize on my SCSD at all). Other than that, it's been pretty stable.

A few suggestions I have:
1. On Home screen, allow L and R to work with Next and Previous.
2. An "Undo" option for Scribble.
3. If possible, support for hexadecimal and binary numbers for the calculator with options for bytes, words, dwords, and qwords and operations for AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and MOD calculations. Hey, it could come in handy.

Go into the DSOrganize folder on your SD/CF card and make a folder called SCRIBBLE. This will solve this problem.

Uh, there is one. There always has been. But even with it, saving PNG files freezes the DS before it completes, resulting in corrupted files. Then I can't even browse or go into Scribble again because it will hang the DS as well. Only fix is to delete said corrupted images. BMPs don't give me this problem.

Is there a newer version than Beta 1.9 Preview 2? Or do you think it could be a memory incompatibility? I'm using a PNY 1GB SD card and a pqi 1GB CF card. What are you using?

I had it create a corrupted PNG and freeze once (switched screens too O_o). Couldn't reproduce it though.

I'm using Beta 1.9 preview 2, and a PNY 1GB and a PNY 512MB SD card. I've only had problems saving PNGs when the SCRIBBLE folder was absent.

I think it does that if \DSOrganize is missing, but it doesn't check the subdirectories. I had to screate \SCRIBBLE myself.

Actualy, I got a Compact Flash stick again now, so I am not too needing folders anymore :p

Would be a good feature for "completeness" though, if its easy.

This is one of the best NDS programs I have seen. Has anyone been able to play music with the lid down?

Some things I noticed:
- I only tested one MP3, but that one would only play the right channel. It works fine in MoonShell.
- The [Id3] section in language files is ignored by DSOrganize.
- During music playback, both 'Toggle Hidden' and 'Playback Mode' are displayed on top of each other. Pressing X follows the behaviour of 'Playback Mode'.
- OGG support isn't mentioned in the sound.html help file.

any eBooks reader with bookmarks is in the works? I think it's the only thing that dSOrganize misses :P

DSOrganize now has bookmarks.
just press a to set and L/R on the dpad to goto.

any eBooks reader with bookmarks is in the works? I think it's the only thing that dSOrganize misses :P

There's a lot of things that could be added: Web browsers, PDF viewers, SPC players, NES emulators, etc. ;-) (How about playing MP3s while viewing text files? AFAIK no DS app can currently do that.)

This version seems to have completely broken MP3s for me. The progress bar doesn't advance (I can advance it manually but it doesn't do anything) and no sound plays.

HTML viewing = w00t, though, especially combined with the ability to download files from the Interweb (that Homebrew Database link). BTW, that link won't respond to being touched at all, and you can only move down to it from the Browser icon. It also never connects (it gets to either Getting MOTD or Getting List, then says it can't connect) except the first time I tried it; it listed 2 items but the Download button simply didn't do anything.

i couldnt click on the homebrew database thing but i could push right on it and it worked. really good idea, it'd be amazing to be able to become pc free as ds homebrew user. the download button doesnt work mind.

Great work. The homebrew browser doesn't connect for me either, but I'm sure that will be fixed as the wifi lib gets better. The text viewer with bookmarks is a much needed and appreciated feature. Thanks a lot!! Now I can finally read e-books on the DS!!

Not really any more features that I would ask for; this is very complete now. The only thing I would like to see added is for it to be skinnable. I would love to be able to use my own high-res icons. Add that, and it will be perfect!!

Hah, not even close!
(Just kidding -- it's been perfect for a while now :P)

I'm thinking that the file browser is getting a bit fiddly to use, now that it has all these buttons that I have to toggle through.
The thing here that really seems out of place, I guess, is the text editor. Perhaps the text editor could be moved to its own section in the main menu and the eBook reader could become the default action when an understood text file format is opened?
Pressing Y to open the eBook reader just seems a bit weird.

Another more simple thing that you have probably already thought about is that it would be efficient if bookmarks could be opened through the file browser, prompting the associated eBook to be opened at that location automatically.

Bookmarks! Brillent.

And HTML reading is good too.
Make spiffy help files for software.
(and if someone makes a URL download app it will be a good basic reader...especialy as I am sure some people might start makeing ds specific webpages.)

Well no wonder. Mountain Dew will short out the motherboard.

Yeah, bad pun, I know...

Strange. Even with the final beta, it seems that I still can't save PNG files on my GBAMP with DSOrganize. It seems to crash before it finishes, leaving behind a corrupt file. I'll do some further testing, but I know that Draw3 doesn't have such problems with saving. Strange. And I still get random freezes. I don't remember for sure what I was doing, but I think I was navigating in the Browser again (but I'm not 100% sure of that).

Unbelievable, this homebrew is awesome.
Can you support Unicode UTF-8 text and HTLM. Thank, thank a lots.

Opp... Look like noone intersting in my opinion. So sad.

We all agree its aswume , thats all.

HTML is already supported with simple tags, anything more is very hard to do.
Its good enough for HTML help files.

Again, no *really* major changes, but I thought I?d let you people know there has been a MAJOR TCP bug fixed, and as a result, connections are apparently rock solid stable :)
Many thanks go to DragonMinded for his persistence in making me track down the bugs, hehe. (and let me just say, some of the features coming up in DSOrganize will blow you away :)

Taken from SgStairs blog. Are we finally talking about the first VoIP homebrew app?

yeah.. why not building a SIP in the Dsorganize? :)

I second that. Or third it.

I think Stephen was talking aobut the homebrew database. DragonMinded wants to use his app as a portal to download new versions and new homebrew via internet without the need to touch the computer.

That would be sweet. Always up-to-date. Although, it would probably need to be a manual procedure to check, else WiFi would be going all the time.

Fixes made to the current version (2.0):

Browser automatically renames associated .bmf files when you rename txt/html files.
Audio player now has random history, so you can go back in random mode.
Fix to @ in arial 9 to not be cut off on the bottom.
Made some changes to the HTML renderer.
Fixed ID3v1 text to be translatable.
Fixed issues with "Toggle Hidden" text in browser and sound player.
Started adding shoutcast streaming support.
Changed mp3 multiplicity from 2 to 4, hopefully making it sound even better.
Finished homebrew database version 1.
Fixed scribble bug where screens became reversed after shuttin the top.
Found and fixed a memory leak pertaining to keyboard inputs.
Found and fixed a few other small memory leaks.
Worked on GBAMP/SC booting a bit, hopefully it works a tad better.

The Homebrew Database is also awesome. It has tons of homebrew I've never even heard of and downloads at a steady pace of 6~7 KBps on my DS Lite. And it auto downloads the .sc.nds versions of all the homebrew because it knows I have a Supercard (is excited cause he could never get it working before now).

i was getting 17 kB downloads, very nice, cant wait till html is more advanced. DSorganize is coming out really well.

anyway to utilize more of the DS wifi download capability ( FASTER, and yes I know its a start ;) )

Is there any way to customize DSorganize like moonshell with custom wallpapers and colors?
