Re: CMD+Quit - PB hangs

I can confirm what mk-soft has already stated, that disabling the session history has no effect.

Another problem occurred as I was testing this - I opened PB on my built in screen, opened the Settings form and dragged it onto my main monitor (I have 1 external monitor linked via HDMI on a USB hub ...

CMD+Quit - PB hangs

I'm not sure whether this is a problem unique to myself or not, but I've noticed that since upgrading* macOS to Sequoia 15.4 (24E248), CMD-Q hangs PB after which I have to force quit it via the Finder. Using the Quit menu item in the main PB menu however exits cleanly without error.

This happens ...

Re: Which BASICs have been you using in your life?

These are the ones I've used a lot over the years - I've dabbled with many others, as I'm most of us have:

Sinclair ZX81 BASIC
Sinclair ZX Spectrum BASIC
BBC BASIC (Acorn BBC Micro, Windows)
Amstrad CPC BASIC (Locomotive?)
Sinclair QL SuperBASIC (my favourite, still use it on Q68, a modern super-QL ...

Re: Problem running Purebasic

No idea what that eror means either, but it's all helpful for Fred to debug with.

I also tested 5.70LTS on my ageing 2010 MBP running High Sierra - all fine there too, I was able to compile and debug various small programs.


Just on a side note, SpiderBasic 2.21 also works fine on both systems. So ...

Re: Problem running Purebasic

Also running fine here on Mojave, v5.70 LTS. I'm afraid I no longer have an El Capitan installation, just Mojave and High Sierra.

It's probably also worth checking the logs in Console? Keep that open when trying to start PB and see what you get.

Good spot - if/when Fred gets in touch with them, he can presumably get that fixed too.

MacUpdate listing

I have finally managed to catch MacUpdate's eye and they have updated their PureBasic listing after several years!

@fred - would be worth letting them have a more up to date screenshot than the one on there currently perhaps?

Also would be worth ...

Re: Christmas Special

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the special offer!

I have bought the bundle via Paypal, but after paying it just stayed on the Paypal page, not returning to your site - is this normal?

I have received the email from PayPal saying it went through successfully, but I'm not sure how to get a serial number now ...

Re: PureBasic 5.70 LTS beta 2 is out !

I will change the constant from Error to Status. What do you mean by not supported on OS X ? I tried it here and it worked, could you tell me how you tested it ?

Hi Fred, sorry for the confusion - I was basing this on a comment earlier in the thread, not from having tested it myself. i still have ...

Re: PureBasic 5.70 LTS beta 2 is out !

About HTTPRequest() and HTTPRequestMemory()

:idea: Wouldn't it be better to name constant #PB_HTTP_ Status Code instead of #PB_HTTP_ Error Code ?

+1 It's a status code, not necessarily an error code. It would be odd to check for Error Code = 200 OK!

I have not had a chance to test this latest ...

For true REST we also need PUT, PATCH and DELETE HTTP verbs/methods.

Re: Reading strings into an array

I don't think that PureBasic has an InArray() function as exists in some other languages (I could be wrong, I am a relative newcomer to PB)

However, here is a quick and dirty solution - it works fine on small arrays but larger arrays would not scale so well. I am sure veteran PBers will have a more ...
