Hmmm

Dubious site, if they were honest they would mention it is GPL. Seems like they are after a quick buck.

Selling GLP software is OK, but they should be clear about it. Also they don't seem to offer any added value, better to donate to The Gimp developers.

Of course if they don't include the GPL and ...

WOW! DIV I can remember that. Wellcome to Purebasic. I'm not sure if you are aware that all the sprites from DIV can be used with Purebasic. To extract the FPG files you can use Xnview.

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if you could use these sprites for a comercial game, but surely for your own hobby ...

Complain to your favourite linux distro to make them change the behavior of setting the current directory.
Or I could use another programing language.

Anyway this is my last post about the issue, no point in feeding the trolls. You win!!!!

I borrowed my wife's WindowsXP laptop, and tried from there and it works as expected (or maybe as not) in any case results are the same whether the program is run from the Editor, Shell, Clicked or Linked.

From my PC (Fedora Core 5) It works as expected (by me at least) from the Editor and Shell ...

@remi_meier: Thanks for your sugestion, this works well for the compiled version. Of course it's still a pain when running from the editor as here it returns "/tmp/", but well I can solve this with a couple of code lines.

I STILL think this is a bug.

So what's the point of that command then?
And why should it work from the editor, and not from a compiled version?
And why a redundant "GetHomeDirectory()"?

This IS an issue, as I can hardly ask people that install my programs to only run them from their home directory. If they happen to put them ...

GetCurrentDirectory() Strange behaviour

GetCurrentDirectory() works well when I run the program from the IDE, but once I compile it; It returns the home directory instead.

I have an athlon 1Ghz 512RAM and use KDE, never noticed slow resize, even with eye-candy at maximun it's perfectly useable.

The memory usage is different in linux. Windows tends to use the HD while linux will use the RAM first. In my experience Linux might be slightly slower than windows on a ...

I'm not quite sure that it's posible to build a rpm package for a purebasic program, and in case it was, wouldn't the users need to have a PBcompiler? Unless the plan is to convert Purebasic code to C ¿??¿

Of course you can also put precompiled binaries into an RPM package.

Second, I'm the only coder of my projects. Used to code with a friend and there we had to come to some sort of agreement, but he married and he no longer codes, although he now makes some nifty airplanes for ...
