LisaList2

Lisa File Mover 1.0 — moving the files the Lisa desktop can't see

A small native Office System tool: it lists, copies, renames and deletes files that have no desktop icon — Workshop sources, .PIX pictures, BBSLIST.TEXT and the like — between any two mounted disks, floppies included. No Workshop needed. Keyboard-driven (numbers plus S/D to pick source and destination, L to list, N/P to page), with a Help menu inside the tool.

Tested on a Lisa 2/10 and the LisaFPGA under LOS 3.1. Install by mounting the floppy image and dragging or duplicating the tool icon to your hard disk.

Very nice!

I see "tested under LOS 3.1" ... I wonder... are there dependencies that limit this binary to 3.1 or 3.x?

If so, do we know yet if it is difficult/impossible to create tools that work on 1.x, 2.x, and 3.x?

Thanks!

As far as your question, that is way beyond my knowledge base. I'm still in development kindergarten! The first time I used the Workshop was less than two months ago.

LisaFileMover 1.1

A quick follow-up to 1.0: three additions, all keyboard-driven like the rest of the tool.

Tool Sets (T) lists every tool's file set on a disk — number, the name read from its label, file count and size — and Copy Tool Set copies a set's files and labels to another disk. It's an archive copy: the tool isn't registered on the target Desktop, and the note afterwards says how to do that cleanly (InstallTool, or a Desktop drag from a disk that shows it).

Marks: M marks a file, A marks everything listed, Apple-B copies all marked files in one run, and Delete Marked removes them in one run.

An ending filter (E) lists only names ending .PIX, .TEXT and so on — E .PIX, A, Apple-B moves a whole picture pack to a floppy in one go.

Tested on the LisaFPGA and a 2/10 under LOS 3.1. To upgrade, mount the image and drag or duplicate the tool onto your hard disk over 1.0.
