Hide Apps

Has someone figured out how to hide applications from the APPS and MEM menus, without undesirable consequences?

I know Omnicalc can hide the finance menu, but its not really an App... Hmmm... I believe Omnicalc also replaces the App menu with one of its own, maybe thats what you could do?  Then it would be fairly simple to hide the ones you chose.

While off, press Left-Right-On ;)

Don't really do that though, it locks your calc up to where you can't use programs or apps until you send a variable to the calc (be it prgms, appvars, reals, tilp, ticonnect, another calc).  Other than that, Builderboy is probably correct in that you should check omnicalc's fastapp section

Omnicalc doesn't support hiding apps you want. Just the Finance one.

And it deletes all your groups, remember ;)

And about the fast app menu, it uses the extra RAM pages, so it won't work on a lot of calculators :P

Yeah, but the fast app menu is basically just a list of all the apps, so it should be easy to manipulate.

Yeah, it does. Good thing you never checked :D

I think someone made a patch that disables the group deletion, though. And then there are patches that disable PTT completely :)

Or maybe it could work. If the calc's an SE with extra RAM pages, the program can save the list there, but if it's a plain version, SaveSScreen should be fine since the archive wouldn't hold that many apps anyway.

EDIT: Or put it in a hidden program...

Hmm, you're right. Maximum 94 apps on an SE with 8 characters per name is 752 bytes. Just enough space :)

Though you might run into problems if an APD occurs in the apps menu, cause savesscreen would be overwritten.

I think the hidden program idea would be good :)

Yeah. 94 flash pages for the user. Hence the 2005 april fools joke :P

With KnightOS, we would probably have more than 94, though ;D

Ooh, what was that?

I really hope so :) No difference between programs and apps, right?
