Todo

octogui's Issues

Pause toggle not functioning properly

The pause toggle function does not seem to be working properly, I will look into it and report back with an update at a later date.

Mkdir/traversing directories unimplemented.

Due to the way I've got file structure implemented, I have yet to add a way to make directories or traverse them. I will be working on this in the future and report back.
