Maybe? I was just trying to work out how to get the default file manager to open in Linux. That code worked for me.

What the rest of your code needs to be, I have no idea? You have to work that bit out yourself. :shock:

I only ran that one line I suggested on it's own. I was just ...

I just tried this in Linux and it opens my default file manager. I have no idea how you incorporate that into a program to do what you want though?

RunProgram("exo-open", "--launch FileManager", "")

Hi Erlend,

I would assume, rightly or wrongly, that if your code stays the same but behaves differently in different versions of PB, that PB has changed somehow?

I had an issue recently regarding transparent sprites and it was because PB had a new flag added, #PB_Sprite_Transparent, which my older ...

It also doesn't seem to work for me using PB 6.30 beta 3 on Void Linux or Ubuntu 24.04. All my systems are x64.

@Fred

Which version of Linux are you testing it on?

Moulder.

@Erlend,

It doesn't work for me in PB 6.30 beta 3 either.

I'm using Debian 13 at the moment, but I also have PB installed in Void and Ubuntu so I'll check those out later to see if they behave differently?

Hi Erlend,

It looks like this on my Debian 13 install using PB 6.21 x64.

Hi Mesa,

The zoom works perfectly, as does the vertical scroll bar.

It did occur to me that the contents of the webpage resize to fit the window, so maybe you wouldn't ever get a horizontal scroll bar?

But then there is a condition where the page would require it i.e. if you make the window ...

Hi Mesa,

It doesn't show the horizontal scroll bar on my Debian 13 Linux install using PB6.21.

@Blue

Glad I could help.

Not sure about "expert"?

You know where I am if you need me.

Moulder.

Still the same on my system. Void Linux using XFWM.

@threedslider

That's fixed it. Very nice.

Apart from InitSprite() missing, I'm just getting a blank window.

Works nicely in Linux too using PB 6.21.

@miso

That looks a lot smoother.

It didn't work for me in Linux until I added an event handler routine. Don't know about other OS's?

It could be useful to me at some point, so thanks. :wink:

The PB help says this about drawing operations to the screen:

On Linux and OS X, ScreenOutput() copies the whole screen ...
