Disk Mode Enhancements in Version 3
File List Dialog
File List Dialog
The file list dialog is displayed anytime you select a disk function to operate on one or more files
on a drive (such as Load or Rename.) There have been many changes to this dialog for
Version 3.
Here is a typical file list dialog, for the Load function:
Dir:\||||||||||||Sel:0/3|||||Index:|||1|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
||||File|to|load:BASSOON||.KRZ|||3456K||
|||||||||||||||||MAY25||||||||(dir)|||||
|||||||||||||||||PERC|||||.KRZ||||101K||
|Total:3557K||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Select||Root||Parent||Open|||OK|||Cancel
When you enter this dialog, the K2000 selects the current directory to display, and displays its
files in an alphabetized scrolling list. If the current directory cannot be located (for instance, if a
removable media disk has been changed), the default is to display the disk's root directory. The
root directory will also be selected if the disk drive was just chosen by the CurrentDisk
parameter on the Disk mode page (remember that the current directory is always initialized
when the CurrentDisk parameter is changed, or if the K2000 has just been powered on.)
If you are a user of SCSI, one of the first things you will notice about Version 3 is the improved
speed to display the directory of a selected SCSI drive. This means less time spent watching the
K2000 display
Please|wait... after pressing a disk function button such as Load.
The display for all drives (including floppy) now shows the 3-character extension of all files in
the directory (except directories themselves). Extensions are created when the file is saved by
the K2000. You cannot modify the extensions on the K2000. This is because the K2000 uses the
extensions to tell it what kind of data is stored within the file.
Directories created by the K2000 have up to 8-character names, with no extension. A directory
can have an extension if it is created on an external computer (more on this later on).
Here is a list of extensions used by or accepted by the K2000:
.KRZ Kurzweil K2000 format file containing objects and/or sample data
.MID MIDI type 0 sequence file
.MAC Kurzweil K2000 disk macro file
.AIF Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF)
.WAV Microsoft RIFF WAVE format
When loading files, the K2000 will try to find out the type of file if the extension is not the same
as is suggested above (with one exception, .MAC files.) The K2000 can create files with any of
the above extensions.
The top line of the file list contains several items of information pertaining to the currently
displayed directory contents. A typical information line looks like this:
Dir:..\HATS\|||||Sel:0/54||||Index:||24|
