Re: PB 6.21 - Has GetUserDirectory(#PB_Directory_ProgramData) changed?
Sorry, I meant WebKit 2 -- what you use for the WebView gadget. On older versions of macOS SDK, the Web gadget is different from the WebView gadget. One newer versions, they are the same.

Thanks, Fred. This is also true for web gadgets. The new SDK (26.x) will automatically use WebView2

This is OK, the Application Support folder is blessed by macOS to store program data and you don't need permissions to write data there.

Detecting a portable Mac
I created this after playing with IOKit to build my own battery monitoring app. Considering that portable Macs far outsell desktop models (85% to 15%) and have additional hardware like TouchID and a battery, this might be useful.
Use cases:
1. Portable Macs have 13" to 16" displays but still have ...

Re: Onboarding and Guided Tour Module
The image assumes you're using Hgh DPI settings. I also suggest expanding the height of the textgadget() so you can use more of the available space for text. This my first module, so glad it works OK.

Re: Onboarding and Guided Tour Module
I use a Mac so did not test it on Windows, but it uses standard gadgets, so with a little bit of tweaking, it should work correctly!

Onboarding and Guided Tour Module
I wrote this for some of my apps. It lets you display an onboarding window that can have multiple steps that you can use to guide first time users on how to use your app or do things like ask for donations.
It is cross-platform. You define each steps using a list element. An example is included ...

Enable FTS in SQLite
Is it possible to use sqlite3's FTS capability in PB? It is not enabled by default and some of my use cases could benefit from it. I'd like a cross-platform example if it is possible to enable it.
Thank you in advance.
