As a new user, I've noticed the following...

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

As a new users, here's my initial thoughts:

(1) "Source directory" under "Preferences" doesn't open that dir when clicking "Open" (is it meant to)?

(2) It would be nice if you had the option of saving your projects before compiling them, rather than the default of save-then-compile (I like to modify bits of code, compile, and check the results; BEFORE committing a save).

(3) A scrollable listview of all procedure and gosub routine names would be handy, so that I could double-click one to go directly to that part of the code.

(4) What does "Go to" do under the "Edit" menu?

That's for starters... more will come later! :)

BTW, this isn't meant to imply that I hate PB... I don't! Want proof? I paid AUS $900 for Visual Basic and STILL bought PureBasic... so that says it all! :)

This is my first look at Purebasic today. I'll say the editor does need some enhancements to make it competitive with the others out there.

I can only answer #2 and #3
#2 - Agreed.. unless it saved to a backup file this is mostly annoying.
#3 - Totally agree... BlitzBasic has this and its awesome!
