No bug. 3rd parameter is Start Position, not case flag.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what is going on?

Yes, it's a very annoying MacOS feature called "App Translocation" which runs your program from a randomized path, supposedly for security reasons although it's not difficult to get around it... Search "App Translocation" and you'll need some ...

Good luck! I used it within a PB program to convert Markdown to HTML. But even then I was calling the Pandoc executable. It would be more efficient to go a step further and load Pandoc library for direct function calls....... but I never went that far.

Pandoc can likely do what you need...

Thread about this from August. In short, MS has made it a nightmare to add dark mode to Win32 or "legacy" software, without rewriting them in newer frameworks. And even then, Windows 11 itself still doesn't fully implement dark mode everywhere :?

Hi coco2, I agree the Joystick library could use a major update. It would be nice if all PB platforms used SDL and its gamepad mappings. If I knew how to make PureLibraries I would contribute!

We last discussed SDL2 in 2023 :) I thought I should mention that major SDL3 released this year and I've ...

Not sure if this is a "bug" or a "feature request" but I agree, OpenPreferences should preserve whether there's a BOM, or else maybe allow the NoBOM flag like CreatePreferences().

In the meantime a procedure can be used to remove it. Read file to buffer, check for BOM + CRLF, if found write the ...

Can't test right now, but I expect it to output "RGBA" on all systems... all this is really confirming is Little Endian vs Big Endian, and I believe Fred has confirmed all systems PB supports are Little Endian. (Meaning the lowest byte of col, red byte, is first in memory, *address + 0)

Where you ...

Hello, CRC (and MD5) are not "encryption", meaning they cannot be turned back into the original text. I hope you understand that! Look up the differences between checksum/hash/digest vs. encryption/decryption.

Unfortunately the vector drawing library can only use fonts officially installed in your system. I don't know the technical reason, maybe someone else here does.

See the doc for VectorFont()
"Remarks: You cannot use a registered font with RegisterFontFile()."

I guess I have bad timing with bug reports.

Yes, this appears to be fixed between PB 6.21 and PB 6.30. (I just tested 6.30 Beta 4.) So never mind! Thanks team!

Thanks for testing. I will download the 6.30 Beta and try it there...
I added more OS info to my original post.

PB 6.21 x64 on Linux with or without "Wayland Support" enabled
EDIT: ElementaryOS 7 (Ubuntu 22.04 based)
EDIT 2: Appears to be fixed in PB 6.30!

Here's an odd one... Try mouse-resizing the window, which has a callback, which resizes the CanvasGadget, which also has a callback.

If I resize the ...

When formatting a color for a human to read (HTML, CSS, image editors, some config files) they're usually written in intuitive RRGGBB order, often prefixed with "#"

But in memory and in low level programming, they're usually BBGGRR prefixed with 0x (or "$" in PB syntax)

I assume PB made this ...

Elementary OS is the first/only Linux I've ever stuck with... over a year now going strong!

Though I'm running it on a new-ish laptop, I can't vouch for it on older hardware.
