I guess that's true. The site navigation is all in English as you say as well. However, of the French people we have had that joined, many of them say "Sorry for my bad English". I usually find this to be a false statement, as many of them speak decently well. I guess the overall population doesn't as much though. I'd still encourage people to join if they have basic English skills. We try to be accommodating and open, and programming itself is somewhat universal. Google translate has also improved quite a bit in recent years. French to English translation is usually pretty decent these days, though I'm unsure about the other way around.

C'mon guys, that's a non-problem really. IMO, they should just join in and start participating using simple sentences. I'm pretty sure the average french student can read English quite well nowadays (speaking might be another matter, though). Especially when they do some sort of programming studies. Yeah, a bit off-topic  .

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know (if you didn't already) that on Yosemite, the screen is black (however, when screenshotting with the menu, the screenshot is fine)

Hi Adriweb,
Thanks for letting me know about it. Actually, I haven't tried yet the 'Yosemite' thing. Unfortunately, they keep changing 'basic' things with every new version what makes backward compatibility hard. As a developer, you need a lot of patience to keep track with Mac OS changes and sometimes new bugs. Right now, i'm pretty busy with professional stuff, but when i have a little more time i'll surely have a look at it.

...
If nTxt is not developped anymore, maybe I or someone else could modify it to allow these features (I didn't see any license, but the sources are given...) Just asking...

I'd say, go ahead and do it (unless you've already done it...  ). Probably lkj is just busy ATM, but given that the sources are available i don't see any problem in appending some functionality. Just saying...
Btw, good luck with your Python teaching efforts. I hope you'll show the students the way to Omnimaga pretty soon. There are a few teachers around the place (me too i'm one of them) so welcome to the band.

Today's my sisters birthday ^^ Doesn't really count but whatever.

Well, it always counts! Gelukkige verjaardag aan haar.

PS: Oops! How do i merge this post with last one? I cannot delet this?
Sorry for the double-post  .

Hi,
Here's a v1.753 with a few more bugs fixed.
Quoting DJ_O, this weekend "i got bored" and decided to draw some custom skins which i hope will inspire some young artists to increase the kArmTI skin production, eheh. Have a look for a change.

Franz:  I'm attaching a fix version (v1.752) for the 'app crash on exit' due to the null pointer. I've decided to set as default HostRootDir the kArmTI's executable directory (actually, a relative path ".").
Afterwards, it's up to the user to change/set the settings. This time I've tested with an empty registry entry to make sure it wouldn't crash. Well, it didn't. I hope 'this' bug has been fixed.
Thanks for your help.

Would it be possible to port 8086tiny (http://www.megalith.co.uk/8086tiny/) to the Nspire? (sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread)

Yes, i think so, and it would be an interesting project to play with. Apparently, all it requires is SDL support (and even that is an option). SDL has already been ported to Nspire long time ago by Hoffa.
Of course audio won't be available, but that's common to all SDL apps that have been ported to Nspire, so far.
Why don't you dare to give it a go?

Hi guys!

A new kArmTI update (v1.75), this time only the x86 version (which runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit windows)

MODS:
A - Windows size: A few changes which will help using kArmTI on a small notebook.

A1. option to hide/show the menubar; a popup menu to replace the menubar.
A2. shorter SkinsManager
A3. shorter vertical UsbExplorer (not enough to fit on many, but we also have the horz UsbExplorer)

B - Skin transparency: Take care of skins with transparent regions (solution is not optimal but is is fast, blame M$)

C - SkinsManager:
C1. save all skins of the active keypad (KP) only.
C2. save a skins' selection (any) of the active keypad (KP). Now the SkinListview supports multi-selection. Use normal shift+ctrl keys.
C3. you may email the above saved-selection (C2) - as an attachement - with default 'subject': "kArmTI - Skins for you" and an empty 'body'. Actually, this only forks your system's default email client and fills in the 'subject' and the 'attachment' (the .skz archive). The user can then add the email 'recipients' and the 'body'. I find this handy to share skins among several windows computers of mine but can also be used to share skins with friends/colleagues.
C4. change (non-standard) skin archive extension from '.zskn' to '.skz'

E - UsbExplorer:
E1. Pseudo-extensions: file extensions should reflect, if possible, the file contents. Only about 22 file extensions are as of now recognized. But that already contributes a lot to unclutter the file view. Essentially, we get rid of the default '.tns' file extension whenever we can. This makes type-sorting more efficient and we can also assign colorful icons to those known file extensions. Have a close look at the screenie and you'll notice a more colorful view. (Let's hope i haven't messed up the previous working solution  )
E2. Nspire-Pane
Toolbar: a dropdown button with Most Recent Used (MRU) Tree selections; a refresh-selected-folder button
E3. Host-Pane
Toolbar: a delete-list-files button. Avoids the need to use the windows explorer.
E4. List Sorting: has been improved giving folders a higher priority in relation to files, so that they appear together as a group of items and not interspersed with files.
E5. List-columns order: the user can change the columns' order. This and the sorting-type is saved/restored to/from registry.
E6. Pane's internal horizontal splitter position is also made persistent.
E7. A Help dialog for Usb Explorer

F - FIXES (mostly cosmetic issues) to v1.65
F1. console:  toolbar width + color popups position
F2. kArmTI main window:  USB Explorer menu_item was not being checked when visible; keypad menu_items were not being checked (the active one)

As you can notice, i've touched a lot of aspects specially trying to improve the functionality of the UsbExplorer. So, please beware of new bugs (quite likely) and keep a copy of the previous version at hand.
