A few misc. quirks & bugs
Executor is really getting to be pretty good! I like the addition of the
browser. There are a few strange quirks that I have noticed though...
#1-- Although fully functional, why did you choose to eliminate the
trashcan? I know this is just a pickey thing, but thats the
cutest thing about the macs, and it'll be hard to convice veteran
mac users that you have to go to a menu to delete a file.
#2-- Executor_DOS gives an error (sorry didn't write down the error number)
when you delete a file from the new browser, but it --does-- appear
to delete it just fine.
#3-- Using floppies seems a bit quirky under the new system. I thought I'd
simply be able to use ALT-SHIFT-2, and the floppy would appear on the
"hot-band"... What I had to do, was first press ALT-SHT-2, then choose
the scan for floppy option from the menu. (was that what that option
was called? I forget exactly) Couldn't this be reduced to a one step
process-- either use ALT_SHT-2, or use the menu option?
#4-- There is an awkward pause when you go back to the browser, both when
it is first loaded, and when you quit out of an application. I know
this is not a high priority (getting programs to run is much more
important), but if there is a simple fix, it would be nice to speed
that bit up.
Other than that, things are looking great! I'm just waiting for the
Executor_Linux 1.99l to come out to see if I can print from it! :-)
(by the way, for the above comments, I tested it on a 486DX2-50, HP vectra,
8MB ram on "DOS6.2/V" with a "ps/2 style mouse", Executor/DOS 1.99l)
