Hello, I spent the last two weeks getting file/directory path completion going, as well as testing and updating my existing code. I had to jump through a solid number of hoops to get enough VMs booting from enough different disk/fs types to be sure my code properly worked, but beyond that I didn't have any troubles. It feels like I struggle with testing more than I do with my code, but I think that's probably a good thing, so I can't complain too much. Besides that, I also ripped out a portion of my code that I was having some problems with and "ported" it back to plain (aka non-bootloader flavored) C for faster testing and development. Thankfully I was just been having C string manipulation problems, so any bugs were reproducible with a full C runtime and OS going. Of course, by the time I got everything working outside of the bootloader I had already worked out the last of the kinks. Connor
