There is no way to save the contents of the writer session
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
k
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
Is it now possible to save the writer session ?
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:
Ok I will look into it ;)
:+1:
If I'm allowed to 😁😁
Y would you not be.....
little joke :)
:+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 ?
found it in the wiki ;)
which wiki?
(love to help but don't know where to start)
https://github.com/raphydaphy/Q-Operating-System/wiki this wiki ? :D
Its a VFS though
Has nothing to do with the hard drive
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 😬😬
ok?
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 ;)
ok
I hope I could explain it :D
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 :)
ok
I think we need to make this into a milestone.
