Xcode version and architecture matters, other than that I don't think there should be any differences.

Shells in non-interactive mode could have a different PATH. Check that kchmviewer is accessible that way. You can add something like to your script to make sure that PATH actually includes a directory where your kchmviewer is located.

~ is a bitwise "not" (see PB docs for Variables, Types and Operators), this expression calculates to just -1, but I left it as it is since this is how it's defined in Apple constants.

Oh, I didn't know that you can register url handlers that way, nice.

In case you just want to select all text this could be done with API calls instead of keystroke emulation. #exampleText = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In consectetur tortor nunc, eu facilisis justo laoreet et. Nunc at gravida ipsum, ut auctor sem. Nam malesuada puru...

There's a native API that solves this, called FSEvents. I'm not sure exactly how to use it from PB since you need to process incoming events, but maybe this will point you in the right direction or someone else can figure it out.

A lot of things were fixed or improved, from my list above I think around 20-30%. I'd say it's moving in the right direction, but very very slowly.

I didn't even know that icon changing could be so fast, you could even create animations that way

Hi, I've been playing with AVQueuePlayer a bit. It uses AVPlayerItem in order to queue items for playback, however it doesn't load added items immediately and waits until the last possible moment. Not only it adds a bit of a lag before it starts playing the next item, you are also not able to get th...

I don' t see why not and it doesn't matter if you want to use it in a console or windowed app. Espeak has a command line interface, just use RunProgram() and all related stuff to call it and pass any text you like.

I haven't tried 6.03 yet, but I think it could be related to the fix introduced in https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=77852 The (temporary?) solution would be to explicitly set NSApplicationActivationPolicy after application starts (I provided an example in that topic). Changes in the ...

the BIG problem is when you need double quotes in your shell command… Not a problem if you pipe your command into the shell instead of passing it as an argument (standard shell quote rules do apply, though): shell = RunProgram("/bin/sh","",GetEnvironmentVariable("HOME"...

Won't work: the "*"(.pdf) would be interpreted 'literally' https://www.purebasic.fr/german/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Ah, right, it's also shell functionality. You could try something like that: RunProgram("/bin/sh",~"-c \"/usr/local/bin/7za a MyBackup *.pdf\&quo...
