Thanks dseven. At least it is moving in the right direction, albeit slowly, which is too bad given the Mac is a great platform but maybe just not enough Mac PB users to justify the effort.

I pop in here occasionally to see how things are going -- How's the overall Mac OS integration support from PureBasic these days?

Upgraded the Movie library on OS X to support modern OS X version

Haven't tried it yet, but maybe this change in version 6.0 will better address the Movie Library issues on OSX ...

Maybe a fundraiser to sponsor Fred to do the development work and add it to PB?
Maybe he's too busy?

Does the new upcoming PB version 6.0 address any of these issues with PB on macOS?

Thanks deseven,
I’ve been away from PB for quite some time, but had an idea I wanted to implement in PB.
Unfortunately I guess the state of PB on the Mac precludes that.

Just so I understand correctly, for up-to-date systems, the Movie library hasn't worked on the Mac since 2019??
If so, should the documentation be updated from "All" to "Windows, Linux" until it is fixed?

Are there other PB libraries in a similar predicament?

Does the Movie library demo code work for anyone on their Mac? I have mp4 movies (made with iMovie) that run fine with QuickTime on my Mac, but this code fails at LoadMovie: If InitMovie() = 0 MessageRequester("Error", "Can't initialize movie playback !", 0) End EndIf MovieName$ ...

Thanks Tenaja! Looks interesting!

I see in my user account that a PB 6.0 Alpha for Windows is available ... nice!

Just curious if a new PB version is planned for 2021?
Thanks!

Does the News page need to be updated with this version? https://www.purebasic.com/news.php

Typo? Should of course be "DatabaseColumnIndex()".

Seems to compile and run OK on my Mini running High Sierra 10.13.1. What's the bug?

Is this expected to work on the Mac?

Thanks Olliv, I was actually asking about building something generally like this: https://d2slcw3kip6qmk.cloudfront.net/marketing/blogs/chart/4-online-tools-planning-family-reunion/family_reunion_sample_chart-720x487.png I think a canvas gadget with other gadgets as the nodes seems to be the way to ...
