Hi

Coming from a dynamic language background where it never mattered what order the procedures were in I initially found it a nuisance to remember to put the procedures in order. However as mentioned here the rule is very simple and easy to remember and I have adjusted to it quickly so it is no ...

Agreed +1

Hi,

Another small improvement for PB would be to have a different icon for .pbp files, when there is a lot of .pbi and .pb, finding the .pbp project file can take many precious seconds.

The icon does not need to be too different, let's say it looks something like this:

What you describe is what I'm expecting to find on the Linux version: "Distro Hell"

@DoctorLove

I know, It's obvious, I pointed out in my comment that I tried on an Ubuntu beta, and I was putting the blame there and not on PB. Btw for me each new release of Ubuntu runs worse than the ...

Hi,

I just became a registered user of PB and as a curiosity I played a bit with the Linux version on an Ubuntu 10.10 beta. Bear in mind that I did not buy PB for the Linux version, I did it for the Windows one.

On my test I tried to make a small GUI app, it did not work, I compiled it and tested ...

Hi,

Being able to split horizontally the edit area is something I find myself missing on the PB IDE from time to time.

If the Scintila lib makes this functionality easy to implement I think it would make a good addition to the IDE.

Being able to see and edit at two different places of the same ...

Hi,

I suggest to enable the window's maximize gadget on all the debug windows that have it disabled, specially in the "debug output" window, and the "watchlist" window. At the end of the day all the debug windows are resizeable. When running in a multi monitor environment one can afford to maximize ...

Intriguing, I never heard of this Fossil software before, I'm a SVN user since version 1. If you have experience on both, SVN and Fossil, how does this revision system compare against SVN?

I propose the following improvement to the "variable viewer" I'm talking about the one in the tools menu.

The first thing I propose is to rename it to "Variable Explorer" or some other name different than the "Variable Viewer" on the debugger menu. :idea:

The second change I propose is to stop ...

I can see why Fred and co. might never consider this a priority; I mean, why bother with what would be a hell of a lot of work when there are far better tools out there for doing this sort of thing. :) Besides, PB is not a Windows only tool.

It is not a case of OLE Automation to be a priority, it ...

@Trond

You're right, we're talking about OLE Automation, for a long time it was called COM and most old dogs like me keep naming it wrong, sorry my fault.

@Srod

My next question is... why turn PB into a VB clone If you want native support for automation servers, then use VB or Delphi.

Why do ...

Oh gosh :oops:

I completely thought it was some sort of internal compiler thing PB was providing in the sense that those keywords were coming from PB itself and not the third party libraries.

This is what happens when you code until very late hours... Start to see ghosts everywhere. :oops ...

Well, If by natively you mean having to code the equivalent of COMatePlus, or include COMatePlus in your executable, then yes, PB already supports COM.

I could make an analogy with GUI programming, PB includes a nice set of Gadget commands, which are neat and save a lot of time and headaches ...

Hi Gnozal,

I see, I just read this post: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =5&t=42996

Makes sense I suppose, I was wondering how could this not be mentioned on the docs.

I can't follow you not wanting to select something manually but I also find this and that uneasy while trying to keep a steady indentation.

Well It is easy, it is so one doesn't have either to leave the keyboard and pick the mouse, or to hold the shift key and scroll using the keyboard, when you ...
