@STARGÅTE
I must say, your solution to Skipper's question is quite clever.
Also your comment/test results about speed of execution gains using pointers even when passing a single character string is very interesting.

In line with Demivec's comments, I read the forum fairly regularly but I do not post unless I have something of value to add (you can tell from how few times I've posted). However, I do realise that feedback and acknowledgement are important in providing encouragement and kudos to the author ...

Hi Olli,
You cannot manipulate sRGB as if it scales linearly with light intensity, eg. taking 50% of an sRGB value.

Hi Everyone,
As I explained in my earlier post on this thread, the sRGB colorspace typically used in computer displays does NOT scale linearly with light intensity. This means that a ...

Hi es_91,
If by saying 50% gray you mean a 50% linear light intensity on a typical sRGB LCD monitor, then you need an RGB value of about (188,188,188). sRGB does not scale linearly with light intensity. The code below shows a comparison of RGB(127,127,127) and RGB(188,188,188) alongside RGB(255,255 ...

Thank you. PureBasic is indeed a powerful tool.

Thank you Fred, Rings and ChrisR for the good wishes.


... A great idea to offer a complementary, simple and user-friendly tool to video editing platforms, I hope for you that it will find its audience.

You're spot on. That is exactly how I am positioning CineCast; and indeed, the greatest ...

Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement.

The voice over was made with Vegas Pro 365's AI Text to Speech.

Hi everyone,

Prompted by threedslider's post "Any list professional program coded in PB?", https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=85045, I decided to share my story.

THE MOTIVATION:
When creating a credits roll for a film, I have found that although video editing platforms typically ...

Hello KCC,

You can write 4 Hex digit Unicode code points (characters) using Chr() as long as they are supported by the font you are using.
Easiest to just express the code point (without the U+) in hexadecimal, eg.

. ... Can you please provide the file? ...

You can convert an image to an uncompressed ico file using Gimp.



It seems that PB has a problem with Loadimage() and Catchimage() with Icon format 256x256

As a point of interest, LoadImage() appears to work fine with uncompressed 256x256 ico files ...

Hi jacdelad,

Your code appears to correctly display a 256x256 icon if the ico test file is uncompressed.

To truncate a list, A(), at the current element, simply use the following code:

While NextElement(A()) : DeleteElement(A()) : Wend

Example:

NewList A.i()
For i = 0 To 99 ; create 100 elements
AddElement(A())
Next
Debug ListSize(A()) ; verify size

SelectElement(A(), 49) ; select current element ...

Actually, I would have thought that with #PB_String_NoCase, PB would have to do more processing since now it has to test for a match for either upper or lower case versions of each character in the string, hence this would be slower.

AFAIK , TypeOf() can only be used to find out the type of a variable or a structure field, not if a list exists. For example:

Hi infratec,

I am not sure about using ListSize() to determine if a list exists. If a list does not exist, the app crashes in IDE when you use ListSize(). Interestingly there isn't an IsList() PB function.
NewList MyList.s()

; FreeList(MyList()) ; uncomment this line and app crashes in IDE

If ...
