There is no way to save the contents of the writer session

Open raphydaphy opened this issue 10 years ago • 32 comments

Although with changes in Update 2.x it should technically be possible, when you close the writer session, you loose anything you wrote in that session and you must rewrite it from scratch when you next open the writer interface.

I'm going to try to use the vfs to make this work

I think we should try implementing FAT32 or something like ext2 because there is actually documentation on those storages

Yea I have been reading about it on the OsDev wiki for the last few days and also on some other places because filesystems obviously are kindof hard to implement and I want to use FAT32 :) Tomorrow is the weekend so I can probably finish it then if not today :+1:

Maybe VFAT though because it lets you have longgg file names

File table. Don't think of this as just a simple table containing a list of files and their locations. One idea I've had and never implemented is, instead of storing files, the system would store file parts, and the file table would list the parts in each file. This would be useful for saving space if many files on the disk are the same or similar (for example, license agreements).

I'm working mostly on Q PL but I am trying to do this also.... but i unassigned myself anyway

raphydaphy avatar Nov 21 '15 06:11 raphydaphy

Is it now possible to save the writer session ?

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 09:11 telip007

No, I unassigned myself because I will be mostly working on Q PL for the next few days, so if someone else wanted to do this then they can :+1:

raphydaphy avatar Nov 21 '15 09:11 raphydaphy

Ok I will look into it ;)

If I'm allowed to 😁😁

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 09:11 telip007

Y would you not be.....

raphydaphy avatar Nov 21 '15 09:11 raphydaphy

little joke :)

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 10:11 telip007

:+1: :white_check_mark:

I didn't have any time to look at it. Is there a filesystem implemented by you or do we still need this ?

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 17:11 telip007

found it in the wiki ;)

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 17:11 telip007

which wiki?

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 18:11 plankp

(love to help but don't know where to start)

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 18:11 plankp

https://github.com/raphydaphy/Q-Operating-System/wiki this wiki ? :D

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 telip007

Its a VFS though

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 plankp

Has nothing to do with the hard drive

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 plankp

Yeah but my question was is there a file system not, is there a file system which has something to do with the hard drive 😬😬

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 telip007

ok?

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 plankp

If there were no kind of a file system, I would create new files for the file system implementation, but now i only have to change it ;)

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 telip007

ok

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 plankp

I hope I could explain it :D

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 19:11 telip007

http://wiki.osdev.org/User:Requimrar/FAT32 If someone else wants to look at this, here is a nice article, the code is written in c++ but it gives you a better look at FAT32 :)

telip007 avatar Nov 21 '15 20:11 telip007

ok

plankp avatar Nov 21 '15 20:11 plankp

I think we need to make this into a milestone.
