Having trouble loading source codes.

Brick Nash · 24 March 2015, 21:47

Hi folks, sorry I'm back again with another ASM-One question.

I decided to install everything on my laptop so I could do a bit of practicing on the go. I've got everything installed but I'm having a real problem loading up sources.

I must have done or set something wrong but when I save my code it seems to go ok but when I hit R and search for the file it doesn't appear in the load window but when I try to save it again it says the file is already there and do I want to overwrite it? I exited ASM-One and went to the drawer I set up to store sources in and they are definitely in there and I even set up the path to that drawer in the preferences and saved it.

I can't even load up the preferences file that I could before because that doesn't show up either

I'm just about ready to scream at this point and it's not the programs fault, I'm just so unfamiliar with how things work in an Amiga environment it's making the most basic things a rubik's cube of problems and I can't find a manual for this particular version of ASM-One either.

Sorry, I really hate asking all these questions and this one isn't really even Winuae related but at the moment this place is the only (and best) resource I have.

You can see from the screenshot below I've navigated to where my sources should be but they don't show up but they are certainly there so any help would be really appreciated.

Your sources most definitely have a different extension than .s (maybe .asm). Delete the pattern (the #?.S above the path) and you'll see all files in the directory.

Thanks for the reply Stingray.

I tried that as I thought it might be the problem but still no luck unfortunately. I've tried setting it blank and to .asm but still nothing shows up.

Very strange!

Always press Enter or Tab when you change a text field, otherwise the program won't recognise the change. Or try to click the Get button.

Ahh I have it.

It seems that deleteing the pattern type wasn't enough, it turns out I had to navigate to the drawer then delete the default pattern type and THEN press Return on the keyboard for the files to show up. Simply removing the pattern type and going to the drawer wasn't enough, I had to hit the return button as well.

That was a fiddly one! :S

Thanks for the help though!

Haha you got there before me Thomas. It's really going to take some getting used to but another thing learned today!
