Thanks, interesting article, love to see PB get more recognition for its strengths!

Fred released 6.30, then re-released 6.30 with one bug fix, now there is another commit in GitHub with a bug fix.

@Fred, if you fix more bugs, could you please release the fixes as V6.31 so that users don't mix several 6.30 without knowing which one is which one?


Of course Fred will release ...

1. Everything has pros and cons, you won't get a useful answer to a vague question like "which is the best". Do you have some specific criteria?

2. It is comparing 5 game engines to a general purpose programming language. Very biased comparison :lol:

3. I wonder why it says PB is "not suitable ...

Hi.
Try to remove #PB_Window_ScreenCentered from the OpenWindow command.

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 100, "Timer Example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_Maximize | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_SizeGadget)


Good idea, but doesn't solve the issue. It just opens at top-left ...

Issue occurs whether I'm in an x11 or a wayland session, confirmed with echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE, I don't know if that info matters...

Also opening a Requester shows the effect too, it suddenly maximizes its parent window, which was supposed to already be maximized.

Thanks for reading...

I updated my Linux OS from ElementaryOS 7.1 to 8.1, which jumps from Ubuntu 22 based to Ubuntu 24.04 based, and I have a PB window problem. Affects default and "gtk2" subsystem. "qt" OK.
Yes I am now using the "Ubuntu 24.04" PB suite.

If a window ...

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 ...
