Re: Menu shortcut char greyed out

mk-soft,

Yeah, I see your point. Safari has greyed out 'short cuts' too. I guess I just had a 'moment'.

Thanks for the response.

Menu shortcut char greyed out

I just noticed that all my menu short cut characters are greyed out. They still work but all are greyed out. I ran this example from Help and had the same result. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug (new feature)?

If OpenWindow(0, 200, 200, 200, 100, "MenuItem Example")
If CreateMenu(0 ...

Re: Request-PDFtoText

Thanks for the info loulou2522.

I am scanning my PDF stock statements to accumulate the information on many stocks for my records. I have been using an OCR (PDF Converter OCR.app) which worked (almost perfectly.. the only one that I found that would) but the statement now has some new formatting ...

Request-PDFtoText

I see that there is a way to convert a PDF to text using 'PDFtoText" and Axolotl posted code of how to do it in this thread https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=77095&hilit=pdftotext. It appears that you have to download a 'tool' and somehow finesse the code to work.

I would like to ask ...

Re: IDE won't quit

Ok, it finally occured to me to look in the IDE Bugs and found a link that I thought applied to my problem. https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=84373 I saw Fred's comment to 'Could you try to deactivate session history to see if it's the root cause ?' and I didn't know you could do that ...

Re: IDE won't quit

Since I'm on a new system (Sequoia) and new Command Line Tools (16) I'm wondering if there is a small problem with the 'short-cut'. Maybe something changed in CLT and short-cuts. It seems that everything is happening because of the short-cut, like it isn't giving PB a chance to save the pref (or ...

Re: IDE won't quit

Piero,

That's interesting. Under 'Full Disk Access' I only have PureBasic-604LTS (my naming for that version) and it's unchecked. So how do I get the newest version of PB to show up here in 'Full Disk Access'?

I'll check it and see if it makes any difference.

No, difference. I even ran PB-604LTS ...

Re: IDE won't quit

Piero,
Thanks for your comments. I don't really understand all of what you said but I go get the message that something is messed up on my end. I'm getting the 'A previous...'' message every time is start PB, after 'sleep' or 'restart' or 'force quit', and if I quit with the menu command it does not ...

Re: IDE won't quit

I'm wondering if Command Line Tools need to be upgraded to the latest version of 16 to work with Sequoia 15.0.1? I don't have XCode installed so I don't know an easy way to get which version of CLT I have.

No, I ran 'pkgutil --pkg-info=com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables' in Terminal and it said I ...

Re: IDE won't quit

Hi Fred,

I found an old plist file and put it back in my Preferences file. Oddly enough, it is PureBasic.0.plist that has the latest creation date*.

I found the .purebasic/purebasic.prefs file and put it in the trash and ran PB and all the settings were reset but I still couldn't quit the IDE. It ...

IDE won't quit

PB was acting odd so I restarted my computer and now every time I run PB I get 'A previous IDE session seems to have ended improperly. Do you want to open the session history to recover unsaved changes?' I say no and the code compiles and runs fine. When I go to quit PB it just hangs. I deleted the ...

Re: WebGadget-Invalid Memory Access

Yes, I agree that it appears to be this website. Other websites work fine (like the PB document). I'm wondering if this site being interactive (you can move the graph etc) is the problem. Maybe it has it's own event loop that is activated when you click in the window.

Re: WebGadget-Invalid Memory Access

Well, if I select any text in the window of my example, say the closing price then hit the close button I get the error.

But if I'm the only one then I would remove my bug report and assume I'm doing something wrong with my code.
