TILP: beta-test...

Development is never stopped, only temporarily halted at times

Could you modify tifiles to see subdirectories in Nspire models?
Also, files in the root directory, are treated as folders.

Yup, I already modified libticalcs for recursive directory enumeration quite a while ago, and it works. However, I never committed it because not only the TILP part of the change remains unfinished, but also, supporting more than one level of folders may trip some wrong assumptions about a single folder name in the code base.

Thanks for the immediate response. I just had to mention it, in case anyone else hadn't noticed.
You are the developer, it's your choice.

I would like to report some bugs as well:
When transfering a bunch of files at once, only shift key works to select multiple files. Ctrl doesn't.
When transfering multiple files from the PC to the calculator, works like a charm, but from the calculator to the PC, the first file is renamed to FolderName.Filename.tns and the other files fail to transfer.

Finally, is it possible to make a debian/ubuntu repository with a ppa for an easy installation, because current process is for power users only?

Thanks in advance

I have moved up the priority of recursive directory enumeration on the Nspire series.

When transfering a bunch of files at once, only shift key works to select multiple files. Ctrl doesn't.

The multiple file selection behaviour has always been peculiar, and AFAICT, it's due to GTK+. But Ctrl worked for me last time I tried it ?

When transfering multiple files from the PC to the calculator, works like a charm, but from the calculator to the PC, the first file is renamed to FolderName.Filename.tns and the other files fail to transfer.

AFAIK, it used to work on old OS versions, but "recent" Nspire OS versions behave differently from the oldest versions. I have never analyzed protocol differences in that area...
Written in the TODO list, thanks for the re-report.

Finally, is it possible to make a debian/ubuntu repository with a ppa for an easy installation, because current process is for power users only?

As the upstream developer, who always wants to see the latest version used and, I cannot recommend usage of any distro package which does not extract sources from upstream Git - and the updated packages which Debian has contained for several weeks, thanks to mainly Albert Huang and Andreas B. Mundt, do not fetch from Git

New quick build for fixing the missing dependency on libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll reported by benryves, but nothing else.

The usual links:
* Windows installer download: http://tiplanet.org/beta/setup.exe .
* Source code: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs + https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gfm .
* patches not yet committed to Git: http://tiplanet.org/beta/tilibs_patchse ... 09.tar.bz2, http://tiplanet.org/beta/tilp_and_gfm_p ... 09.tar.bz2 (the timestamps are very close to each other because I rewrote nearly every patch to add the forgotten Signed-off-by tag).
* install script for anything non-Windows which is handled by TILP: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gf ... ll_tilp.sh .

TODO list unchanged from the one in http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php ... 03#p147303 . Nspire recursive folder enumeration (and its UI adaptation, most of all) is not ready.

EDIT in 2021: updated the link to the *nix install script.

Je ne sais pas si c'est ici que je dois poster mais ce topic est déjà sur la 14e page lorsque je recherche "TiLP" dans la barre à gauche...

Il y a quelque chose que je ne comprends pas du tout avec TiLP. Pourquoi on ne peut pas choisir "écraser" sur des programmes avec l'attribut "archived" (de même pour les appvars) ? Non seulement on ne peut pas mais en plus TiLP dit qu'on ne peut pas.
Et je comprendrais s'il semblait y avoir une raison, mais en fait, en mettant le programme en "none" (et plus en archived) puis en cliquant sur "écraser" et en le remettant en "archived", tout marche, le programme est effectivement écrasé et envoyé en archive. Donc pourquoi ne pas laisser l'utilisateur choisir "écraser" sur des programmes archivés ?

C'est une bonne question, Hayleia...

New version with bugfixes and improvements, as usual. Let's mention:
* fewer memory errors => fewer crashes;
* addition of extern "C" guards in public headers, so that libti* can be used from C++ programs... not that anybody cares, but this is still the right thing to do

* OS transfer fixes for 83+/84+, by Jonimus;
* support for TI-Z80 OS / FlashApp files in non-standard Intel Hex format (LF, CR), by myself for SirCmpwn;
* new ticables_supported_cables(), ticalcs_supported_calcs(), ticables_get_device() and ticables_set_device() APIs.

Known bugs:
* 84+ DirectLink ROM dumping doesn't work anymore. None of the recent commits should have triggered that...
* transferring Français or Espan~ol 84+ FlashApps triggers improper behaviour, due to encoding mishandling and old, insecure code.
* several harmful semicolons in multiple libticables files could theoretically trigger infinite loops. noticed during code inspection for other changes. Those bugs are many years old.

The usual links:
* Windows installer download: http://tiplanet.org/beta/setup.exe .
* Source code: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs + https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gfm .
* install script for anything non-Windows which is handled by TILP: https://github.com/debrouxl/tilp_and_gf ... ll_tilp.sh .

The TODO list contains items such as, but not limited to:
* finish introduction of a fifth libti* library, dubbed "libtiopers", for factoring code useful to multiple libti* clients. For now, there's pretty little in the new library, and disentangling is not that easy...
* finish GTK+3 compatibility patch;
* add a TILP menu entry for exiting the PTT mode (greyed out if not connected to a Nspire);
* make Nspire "ROM dumping" (OS dumping) work on all models, by duplicating BrandonW's Fron;
* minor installer and file encoding fixes.

I have started writing a single tutorial for installing TILP on Windows, Linux, MacOS X, gathering information from multiple places (TILP README, etc.)

EDIT in 2021: updated the link to the *nix install script.

Lol, copy-paste fail on Cemetech, you talk about a question I never asked there, only here

But anyway, does "good question" mean that my request will be implemented (or at least considered) ?

What copy-paste fail ?

Your feature request is in the local TODO list, which contains dozens of items...
The UI has several idiosyncrasies. I don't do much on the UI myself.

What about the silverlink problems I reported some time ago ? As a reminder, those happen when using the link assist when the calc is in 15 MHz mode, and I couldn't test when in 6 MHz mode.
