I just installed MMBasic 4.4 beta 7 on my Duinomite Mini to try the playmod command.

After i tried copying a .mod file that was too large to a: playmod fails with the "Only one file can be opened" error.

Steps to reproduce:

copy to SD card 2 mod files whose sizes together are larger that the available space on A:

COPY "B:FILE1.MOD" TO "A:"
PLAYMOD "A:FILE1.MOD"

- file plays okay

PLAYMOD STOP
COPY "B:FILE2.MOD" TO "A:"

- you get the error "No space on media"

KILL "A:FILE2.MOD"
PLAYMOD "A:FILE1.MOD"

- you get the error "Only one internal flash file can be open at a time". You need to reset in order to be able to use playmod again.

It seems that the failed copy operation is leaving the file descriptor open or something similar.

Thanks.

Correction: You need to reset the device or use the NEW command in order to be able to use playmod again.

This is a problem with recovering cleanly from an error, a subject fraught with problems. I will fix it in the final release of 4.4 (due soon).

Another related one (sorry if it's for the same bug)

- copy FILE.MOD to a:
- WRONG.MOD not not exists

PLAYMOD "A:WRONG.MOD"

- Error: Cannot find file

PLAYMOD "A:FILE.MOD"

- No error returned but module is not played. value of MM.ERRNO is 6
- All further calls to playmod give the error "Only one internal flash file can be open at a time"

That is a new bug, thanks. I will also fix that in the final release.
