You mean, is there any application for a DreamShell now?
Or do you mean other programs?
Yes, I mean't is there any applications that work/run on Dreamshell now?

Thanks for that link dobbs, I will check out those commands, etc.

SWAT, I tried to use a translator on your website but it wouldn't work.

At the moment there is no application, except for a desktop (the desktop is the application).

I have a forum you can find some information about creating applications.
http://www.dc-swat.net.ru/forum/index.php?showforum=33

DreamShell 4.0 - XML Doc (full)
DreamShell 4.0 - App dev (very simple)
DreamShell 4.0 - API Doc (very simple)


You can use the google translator, but sure to read the code in its original form (translator makes it an error).

What's New in Beta 2 Release - English translation

- Added integrated support for SD Card. Now you can manage files from SD cards. Supported all the main features of the file system. But file name support only 8.3 format (temporarily).

- Added the first application.

- very simple file manager.

- Added a new xml element <cardstack>

- Added loading screen (displayed when an application is loading).

- Added initial support for changing the cursor GUI (yet it can be modified only by replacing file the cursor / cd / gui / cursor.png).

- Fixed parsing of xml colors to elements <label> and <input>.

- Fixed graphical glitches most of the GUI.

- The event "onload" (from xml <body>) of the application now works in another thread.

- Rewritten API functions work with the console commands, and added new features associated with the output of the console.

- Now the core DreamShell can be "put to sleep".

- Some minor bug corrections and code optimization.


Thank you, SWAT, for making this update to your OS.
Regards,
Bob Dobbs

I really like the file manager application with the gui button to access it. It is really cool. I can't wait to see more applications on DreamShell. Keep up the great work, SWAT.

I tested the file manager. It was fast and the graphics were easy to read. Everything from the boot up to loading the OS was fast and stable. Using the file Manager feature was great. I could see the VMU, the CD, and other. I do know the only thing it did not like was when I click on the actual CD. This is understandable.

Summing Up:
This is a great file manager. My PC's Explorer does not work as fast as this does. Great work, SWAT!
