Doors CS 6.9 beta is the final beta of Doors CS 7.0, containing many feature additions, optimizations, and bug fixes. It incorporates several bug fixes based on reports from the loyal beta testers.  Doors CS 6.9 beta adds incremental improvements to text input functions, and introduces a Help item in the DCS Menu.  It improves a small bug with the BASIC "Instant Goto" feature, and contains a near-complete rewrite of how programs are counted to optimize for speed and correctness.  A full listing of fixes and improvements:

:: Improved character width calculation fallback for "unknown" characters.
:: Fixed FileSaveAs/FileOpen bug from FileOSExclude addition.
:: After extensive searching and re-writing and debugging, reconfigured how programs are counted, and fixed several corner cases that broke proper type detection. Proper hiding of programs for future versions of DCS also implemented.
:: Residual problem with SE caching and InfoPops resolved.
:: Repaired Goto bug that occasionally went one line too far.
:: Found and fixed bug where pressing 1-6 to enter a sub-sub-folder would cause the properties menu to appear.
:: Found and fixed bug that would occasionally cause DCS to miscount programs in a folder, thanks to dcsSquish.
:: Completed Doors CS 7 Manual.

As noted in the last item above, Doors CS 6.9 beta is the first (and last) beta to contain the full Manual for Doors CS 7.0.  Please download it today, give it a try, and let me know what issues you find!  Please please also read the Manual for correctness, completeness, and clarity, and let me know what you think.  If no issues are found, the next release will be Doors CS 7.0.  If bugs are found, then a release candidate, Doors CS 7.0 RC 1, will be released before September 1 (ideally within less than a week).  Doors CS 7.0 will not be released until many testers give the latest beta or RC a clean bill of health, so please test, test, test!

Wow nice to see a new update already. I can't wait for final version, though. However, I'll try to test the current one with some programs to see if everything is still fine.

Also that trailer was kinda cool, as I commented on Cemetech a few days ago ^^

I found a few bugs with DCS6.9:

1. It doesn't recognize any non-compiled ASM program (using the AsmPrgm token) as ASM, so the program creates a syntax error.
2. When you delete the nonarchived appvar, and you try to do a calculation, the warning screen appears (the one that says your calc crashed or reset).
3. I have no idea what gui7 and CHAIN7 are, but sometimes they appear in my appvar list.

I had a bug with DCS6.8.8 that puts all the folders in the root directory (instead of nested folders), but I can't reproduce it.

1. This is more of a feature request, and I agree I would like it.
2. This is because DCS installs a parser hook, and if you delete the appvar, it thinks you reset the calc, and it feels obligated to fix this. Just don't delete it ;D (Though I agree this should be fixed)
3. gui7 is the GUI stack, and should not exist except when a program is running. If it's there, it's because a BASIC program that used the GUI didn't close the GUI stack or it was interrupted w/ON. Make sure to delete this appvar before running other programs and especially before running DCS. CHAIN7 has something to do with DCS's ability to run programs, and it really should not appear outside of when a program is running. Under what circumstances do you see it?

Also, it would help to post this on cemetech, since that's where Kerm is most often. (He doesn't normally frequent here except to make announcements.)

I'll put it online when it does something.

For the gui7, I just delete the nonarchived appvar and the folder one, and I run DCS. I was just experimenting.  :) I don't know about the CHAIN7 one.

Number 1 sounds like a good feature addition. You should post it in the Cemetech thread too in case Kerm misses it.

Don't worry about it. I sometimes did that with Cemetech since they do not have the attachment mod installed.

Doors CS 7.0 Release Candidate (RC) 1 is here! This version is a super-stable, feature-rich, and nearly-complete build of the final Doors CS 7.0.  Please test it thoroughly; if it passes everyone's tests, this is the final version that will be released on Wednesday, September 1st!  The official description for this release:

Doors CS 7.0 is the ultimate shell and GUI for your TI graphing calculator.  Run any BASIC or ASM program, including MirageOS, Ion, Doors CS, and nostub programs.  Organize your programs into folders, edit program properties or programs directly from Doors CS, or use the HomeRun feature to run any program from the TI-OS homescreen.  Doors CS is built to be extremely user-friendly, using a mouse-based interface to appeal to users used to using computers who are frustrated by the infinite menus one must navigate on a TI calculator.  On the opposite end of the user spectrum, it includes myriad keyboard shortcuts so that those who prefer to use a keyboard to a mouse can quickly and efficiently move through Doors CS.  Doors CS 7.0 contains full libraries for xLIB, Celtic III, PicArc, Omnicalc, and the new DCSB Libs; eliminate all your apps and replace them with Doors CS 7!  This Release Candidate is a very stable, nearly-complete version of Doors CS 7.0.

A full listing of fixes and improvements over Doors CS 6.9 beta:

:: Myriad bug fixes and tweaks based on invaluable feedback from Cemetech members and Doors CS beta testers.
:: Addition of [ON][MODE] hook and multi-page scrolling feature.
:: Additional DCSB Lib features and bug-fixes.
:: Updated Doors CS 7 manual and SDK (both included in the zip below)

Again, please test this release for any and all bugs and weirdnesses.  Please please also read the Manual for correctness, completeness, and clarity, and let me know what you think.  If no issues are found, the next release will be Doors CS 7.0.  If bugs are found, then a release candidate, Doors CS 7.0 RC 2, will be released before September 1 (ideally within a few days).  Doors CS 7.0 will not be released until many testers give the RC a clean bill of health, so please test, test, test!

Nice!  I will definetaly test it out, although i am not very familiar with the interface, so bugs reports might be slim :P

I hope you find it intuitive enough to not get too confused; if you do, there's Help in the DCS Menu in-shell, and there's always the manual.  Feel free to post any questions or bug reports, although I'd request that you're more likely to get a timely response from posting in this topic: :)
