Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root

<< < (9/45) > >>

Mikerman:
Thnaks, but Hmm again:  I just booted up, started playing a tune, clicked the joystick to get to the root director, and moved the joystick to the left to get back to the WPS, and no go ...

I had copied the above text as is into a Notepad file and used that as a .patch; by any chance was I supposed to delete something (like the top header info.)?

Ah, well ....

hshah:
Try applying the patch manually!

Mikerman:
Thanks, and now you're REALLY testing my skills--I'm happy to be able to get CVS to work for me (or, better said, me to work for CVS) and to patch some files!

:)

Mikerman:
OK, Hshah, applied the patch manually and it worked great!  (Actually, I'm just relieved I didn't break the player.  ;) )

The left press really is intuitive--I had to think about what was different, it was so natural to use.  And it avoids having to move one's hand around to use the play/pause button--highly recommended for adoption!

:)

A couple of manual patching questions, from someone who doesn't do this (and so please forgive their basic nature):

--  In Windows Wordpad (which I used to edit the file), I get save document  choices of Text Document, Text Document - MS DOS Format, and Unicode Text Document (as well as Rich Text Format RTF)); I used the first, at which point I get a message about formatting not being saved--was this the correct format for saving?

--  In manually adding in the changes, are the spaces in each line important?  I tried to make everything look like the original above, including the blank spaces in each line and how the lines lined up, but wasn't sure that this was necessary.

And, thanks, again!

(edit:  And actually, a final question:  sometimes when I open a file in Windows Notepad, all the text is a run-on paragraph, with no line breaks; other times, the lines breaks are there.  Is there a rhyme or reason for this?  It doesn't seem to relate to Word Wrap for me.  Wordpad almost always seems to keep line breaks in.)

Thanks for the patch, hshah. Now I'll know exactly what to change back in my personal builds if this ever goes into CVS.

In general, extra whitespace in C code does nothing. If the whitespace is quoted then your output will be different. But if you're talking about leading or trailing whitespace have as much as you like.

The file you opened is using unix end of line markers (one character) and notepad only reads Windows end of line markers (two characters). Notepad is just being stupid.
