PureBasic Forums - English

I also posted this request in the German forum yesterday and they also recommended the CloneZilla tool. They also recommended RescueZilla, which is based on CloneZilla and comes with a GUI. That sounds excellent to me! I had not heard about RescueZilla and I will definitely be looking at it! Thanks...

I'm not sure I completely understand what kind of result you want and certainly don't know much about new machines (only use old ones!). However, maybe you could look at Clonzilla. it's free and works well - I've used it many times when changing hard drives.

Absolutely right! Completely agree with everything in Kuron's post. PureBasic and its team really are the best

Would you advise the PureBasic install to be Debian 32 or should I install Linux Ubuntu 20.04.3 and then the PB Ubuntu version? I've never used a Chromebook and don't know much about them - but from what I've read I don't think installing Ubuntu is a good idea. I'm assuming that your Debian 11 is s...

I also use Geany for most editing tasks. Occasionally for very simple plain text files I sometimes open them in FeatherPad. For a couple of more specialised things I use others, for example for MarkDown files there is ReText and for HTML Bluefish is good. Haven't really given much thought to File Ma...

The one we use for the IDE and which has proven to be very easy and robust: https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=26729&hilit=language :D It's a great solution - was just about to reply with the same link! Used for over 10 years and still good. Also use the SaveLanguage sugg...

Very new to PB, somewhat new to SQL . . . . . It occurred to me that I'm not calling anything to commit the transaction. Does the driver automatically handle that? Hi bsilver, and welcome to PureBasic. My understanding (experts may give a better answer!) is that by default each 'write type' command...

Works for me for years - excellent code from Freak

Not advertising - it's all true

Worth it? - probably the best bargain you will ever find!

I've just written this small tool which is a Linux rewrite of my old Windows program (ExtraKeys) for typing accented letters and other characters that are awkward for a QWERY keyboard. I wanted this for my own personal use but as the Windows equivalent is very popular I will probably make it availab...

It has never happened that the procedure list is empty (unless there are no procedures in selected source). Agree, never happened to me either - many different versions and system installs (but not yet LMDE). A strange thing however, on Linux the IDE always starts with right panel on the the "...

The value of num.q is correct - no bug I think. 12663CA0EAF6 is hex and = 20230313143030.

To ensure the output number format from Debug use either Str() or Hex().

Personally, I don't think that Purebasic is very productive, or advisable to use in creating a database application. ... ... However, the development time is HUGE in Purebasic when compared to creating the same in Access. Even though there are only four screens and 3 tables. The only advantage on c...

Pure Basic was a pleasant surprise for me. I quickly replaced VB6 events with procedure calls in the event loop. Regarding database support, Pure Basic's database support is excellent and quite functional. Totally agree - I was another VB6 to PureBasic convert! My main application is entirely drive...

That looks like the code I used a while back - perfect solution and I remember the forum discussions were really helpful in understanding more about Unicode. As always - very grateful to all you experts!
