Oric Explorer V2.0
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2016 12:38 pm
Hi,
Having just seen a review of Oric Explorer V2.0 in the last 2 editions of the CEO magazine I thought it best that I give an update as to where the project current stands.
Unfortunately the V2.0 source code wasn't actually suppose to be made public even though I did upload it to the Oric Explorer website which is why as the reviewer correctly stated it is in a very unfinished state. I started on V2 some time ago but do to family and work commitments I had to cease development as I just wasn't getting any free time to work on it.
However as there seems to be a demand for Oric Explorer I've decided to start up development again and hopefully make some progress on getting it to be the application I want it to be.
I'll begin be tidying up what is already there and making it stable and usable as well as providing some form of help or documentation describing what options and functionality are available. Once that's done I'll make a start on adding further functions such as being able to edit files/programs, allowing drag and drop between tapes and disks and vice versa etc. The disk handling code needs a re-write so that it can handle all the available formats and versions of disk operating systems. I'll also get the website updated with newer screenshots.
Thank-you to all who continue to use and support Oric Explorer.
Regards
Scott
