It seems 44 = [.] and 46 = [,]. Are there constants for this? Presumably, the keyboard layout used is a problem because it is not unique?

I search for the #PB_Shortcut_ constants of the two keys to the right of [M] on german keyboard layout: [,;] and [.:]

Seems to be related with that bug:

Seems now fixed with 6,30 b1

The background of the symbols is white now, not transparent:

But it seems only work if I use the x64 version of PB. With PB arm64 version it dont work correctly...

To rotate images, see example DrawVectorImage().

You mean there is no API function for rotating images (90°) for one ore more OS (Linux, Win Mac)?

I would like to use the #PB_ScrollArea_BorderLess flag. But I can't do that without having to specify the “ScrollStep” parameter. Unfortunately, there is no default value in the documentation that I can use without changing the previous behavior.

Edit: The default value for "flags" is also missing ...

I have tried your code inside my app:

ImportC ""
PB_Gadget_SetOpenFinderFiles(Callback)
EndImport

IsGadget(0) ; Ensures the gadget lib is linked as this command is in it

ProcedureC OpenFinderFilesCallback(*Utf8Files)
Protected filecnt,filesin$,filename$
filesin$ = PeekS(*Utf8Files, -1, #PB ...

For me it works

I am a little bit shocked that there is no simple 90° rotating image command in the image library. For an "easy to use" programming language I would have expected that.

Before anyone posts a workaround here: I don't need one. I'm just wondering why you can't find certain basic functions in PB.

On macos I get "-2" if I check a folder with FileSize() which is actually a symlink to another directory. I suppose it is similar under Windows.
How I can check if a folder is a real folder or a symlink?
