Hi Denis,

I would suggest to give a hint to macOS X users that jarlauncher included with theirs systems may not work. Opening DiskBrowser from the Terminal works much better.
Kind regards
Uwe

P.S. Have you seen that the German Computer Magazine c't (https://www.heise.de/ct/) did recommends your application for Apple II fans. Drop me an Email if you want the magazine or the article ([email protected]).

Hi Denis,

what do you think of making Apple /// disk images as accessible as Apple ][ disk images? As you support Prodos already, which is an Apple ][ port of Apple /// SOS, disks show up already flawlessly. There seems to be a little piece of code missing to let your pCode disassembler acting on Apple 3 pascal code files. See the enclosed screenshot.

Thank you very much for your hard work and your useful utility.
Kind regards Uwe

How do I build from source in macOS ?

The Total Replay build process incorporates Exomiser packing of art files to reduce space on disk. These packed files cannot be displayed by DiskBrowser.

The Total Replay make file includes the following relevant lines:
rem https://bitbucket.org/magli143/exomizer/wiki/Home
set EXOMIZER=exomizer mem -q -P23 -lnone

:compress
for %%q in (res\action.dhgr.uncompressed*) do if not exist res\action.dhgr%%~nxq %EXOMIZER% res\action.dhgr.uncompressed%%~nxq@0x4000 -o res\action.hgr%%~nxq

I had the hope to contribute a bit to your project but the com.bytezone.common package is missing and I am not able to build. Is it not being commited or am I missing something?

Config: macOS 10.14.4, Java SE Development Kit 12

840K disks were used by Agat (a Soviet workalike of Apple II) -- https://github.com/sintech/AGAT/blob/master/docs/agat-840k-format.txt and http://www.torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1385

Sector-level images are 860160 bytes in size, geometry is 80x2x21x256.

I was attempting to use it, seems interesting. But the ui package has problems compiling due to missing dependency for "com.bytezone.common" package classes.

DiskBrowser does not recognize WOZ files created with the current Applesaucefdc. What am I doing wrong?

I have a WIZ1.DSK file for PC that is not recognized, is that out of scope for this project?
I've been looking for Tommy's Wiz1WizardryPascal.txt and Wiz1StartupPascal.txt or any info on Wizardry's SYSTEM.INTERP to no avail.

Hi,

There is no build file anywhere. As I only have Java 11 on my system, I would have liked the possibility of building this package and there is no easy way without a maven, ant or any other build system build file. Is it possible for you to provide one?

Also, there seems to be at least one missing package. The only provided subtree is com.bytezone.diskbroswer but it depends on com.bytezone.input which is missing.

I cannot wait to try your utility. Thank you!

Hallo @dmolony
I am designer want to make a logo for this projects,If you have any requirements to make this logo then let me know.
Thank you

DiskBrowser is great and solved my problem. I do have a suggestion or two, if you are open to ideas.

Currently, DiskBrowser starts out showing a list of files on a disk in the Output window, but cannot actually display, save, or otherwise operate on those files until the user double-clicks on the name of the disk image in the Catalog window. After that, the Catalog window shows the list of files which the user can click on to show formatted views of the files.

It would be nice if the user did not have to double-click on the disk image to start examining files. There are many possible solutions, but the cleanest would be to let the user click on the filename in the Output window and have that automatically show the contents.

If that is too complicated to implement, another way would be to let users right-click on files in the Output window to pop up a context menu. It could offer options like, "Save file", "Display Formatted Text View", "Display Hex dump", and "Open in Default App".

Thanks again for the useful program!

Hi Denis,

have you ever thought about writing files from the PC to an Apple ][ DSK (DOS 3.3) ?
If you think it could be done, I would very much like to be able to write binary object files in the BSAVE/BLOAD format with added load address and length, such that I can BLOAD them in AppeWin. I could also provide the object file with already added address and length.

Thank you again for your very useful program

A bit of a minor bug but pressing Ctrl/Cmd+W on the D1 tab after opening a disk doesn't work. Doing this on any subsequent disk tabs (D2, D3 etc.) works fine

Discovered this issue with the 4am crack of "The Oregon Trail 1.4", side A, available here: https://archive.org/details/MECC_A157_v14_4amCrack

The issue is that OREGON.IMA is listed in the catalog, but DiskBrowser shows it as 0 sectors length.

What happened is that CATALOG sector at track 11, sector 9 lists the next entry at track 11, sector 8. However, THAT sector is actually the TSList for OREGON.IMA - not a CATALOG entry at all. (Well, it seems to work as both - when read as CATALOG it looks empty, when read as TSList it contains the sectors for OREGON.IMA)

This causes DiskBrowser to also show OREGON.IMA's sectors to be orphaned (those for track 11, sectors 1 through 7 plus the TSList at 8).

I'm not sure how best this would be fixed, it seems as though you need almost a "shared" half-filled box where a sector can do double-duty as both CATALOG and TSList. Real hardware presumably doesn't care as it'll be read in whichever mode it's operating in.

Basically, export tokenized BASIC files as text, and prodos text files as plaintext files. Currently having to copy/paste from the formatted window which loses proper tab indenting and is a pain when working with multiple files.

I tried running against a new install of JRE 8 and got error
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/bytezone/diskbrowser/gui/DiskBrowser has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 57.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

Apparently 57 means Java 13 is necessary.

Please update readme.md to indicate the minimum version of Java needed.

I installed the JRE last night and was able to launch DiskBrower.jar fine. Shut down my Mac for the night. Restarted today and now the app no longer launches.

Here's what I think is the relevant Terminal output, if that helps:

Hi,

I've cloned the git repo and am trying to compile the project from source. The entire com.bytezone.input package and its classes do not exist. Can you add them to git, or are they proprietary?

Thank you.

p.s. going through closed issues, i see others have requested this before (e.g. issue 13). If you don't want to add it to the repo, I understand, but can you at least point me to those sources in a previous branch or release? (Sources preferred to binary jar files because I'm trying to understand your project in entirety, if that's ok). I am both a long-time Java dev, since the 1990s, and also an original Apple 2e owner -- so our paths cross :)

Hi Denis,
this is a nice program...
however, I am missing very much a possibility to export files from the virtual Apple disks to files on the PC.
Could you please consider to implement such a function ?
I have also tried to capture high-lighted output from the middle window with CTRL-C and to paste it into NotePad or a Program for Hex-File editing. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Some of the original Apple files contain a mixture of ASCII code and raw integer numerical values including zeros. My impression is, that in such cases copy & paste of a high lighted section of the window contents only delivers a fraction from the beginning up to the next zero.
So in these cases copy/paste of the fully marked window does not work.
Best Regards
Kai
