I guess "working set" should show it.

I have reproduced it with the default options, didnt try anything else.
My guess is that the function simply does not free a handle.

Reproduced on: Windows 11, PureBasic 6.21 x64 and 6.30 Beta 3 x64

Run following code and open the task manager, watch as memory usage increases indefinitely.

It says in Windows 10 most API functions are updated to work with long path but you have to set longPathAware in the manifest of your application.

I didn't knew that. Could have saved me a ton of work.

Here is a screenshot of it.
As you can see i took inspiration from PureBasic for the coloring, etc. But this is not Scintilla, it's made from scratch with PB 2D drawing. And lots of code to handle all basic editing functions.

A text editor from scratch is actually a side project i work on currently.

It's specifically for coding and even more specifically for G-Code with Sinumerik extension. As many editors struggle with this.
First i wanted to use Scintilla but it was kind of confusing to me and i thought i could write ...

I just tried it using the /portable switch (so a vanilla setup) and it still did it.

PB 6.21 Windows x64

Not sure if it is a bug report or a feature request.
Seems like #PB_HTTP_NoSSLCheck has been forgotten to add to ReceiveHTTPFile.
It is available for HTTPRequest, so makes sense to have the same option on ReceiveHTTPFile.

A reproducable example [Win x64, PB v6+] - this one occurred when porting some C code across - it has been stripped down to bare minimum.

The code needs to be copied & pasted in its entirety into notepad & saved as a .pb file - load the file into the PB IDE and follow the steps shown on lines 17 ...

This has happened a few times to me. Could never reproduce it. I suspected it has something to do with highlighting selected words and multiple files open.

Someone posted on here saying "The creator is on these forums, ask him to update it", but then deleted their post a week or two later. I wonder if the creator saw that and were like "Nah, don't get me involved in this"... If that's the case... Come on, this is like abandoning a child :P (no I'm ...

I use Postgres every time i need a DB with PureBasic.
Works very well. Much better than ODBC.

There are a lot of things that work with Postgres which may be not obvious.
For example you can do UPDATE with QueryDatabase (not UpdateDatabase) and use RETURNS to get data about the modified entries ...
