This update adds support for IDE and SATA drives (that are formatted to fat32) this allows for persistent storage over drives and gives the system some use other than just a showcase :D The user can switch between drives in the explorer by clicking on the dropdown and then clicking any drive letter ( A:, B: .. C:) this list dynamically expands on how many drives there are in the system. In the cmd the user just types A:, B:, C: etc to switch to that drive.
1.50 is a version with not that many "os-related" updates, but it does bring something new: BoredOS! Since BrewOS was already being used for a custom operating system for smart coffee machines, i decided to copy the naming of my github username: BoreddevNL and turned that into, well BoredOS.
Anyways this update brings some extra stability and graphical bug fixes, that's about it. Oh yeah also a mouse sensitivity slider in the control panel. Enjoy!
[BUG FIX UPDATE]
Updates until 1.50 will be bug fix updates as 1.50 will be a full release.
Bug fixes for 1.44:
-Stopped the crashing when moving stuff onto the desktop
-Fixed codeblock formatting in the markdown viewer.
BrewOS 1.31 > BrewOS 1.40
Brewkernel 2.3.0 Alpha > Brewkernel 2.3.1 Beta
This update is a feature focused update. It features loads of quality of life and major UX improvements.
New features:
-Drag and drop for files and applications (shortcuts for apps can be made by dragging an app from the start menu into the desktop)
-Customizable desktop (auto align, snap to grid
-Recycle bin (rm in the CMD skips this)
[FEATURE UPDATE]
I changed out the memory based fat32 filesystem for one that runs on a 512mb disk img made during the make command (only get's made if the disk.img file is nonexistent) allowing files to be permanent.
Also all these files combined are 67 files.. just fyi.
[FEATURE UPDATE]
Colored folders are now added allowing users to right click a folder and then set it's color. This data is saved in the colored folder as: >colored folder</.color with the .color folder holding the data for the folder icon color!
