PureBasic Forums - English

Avast always scans the "PureBasic_Compilation*.exe" and in return kills the debugger. If compiling multiple files, the number will change. Hence why I used the asterisk.

Now if PureBasic compiled to, "Drive\User\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\PureBasic\", instead of just the "Temp" folder alone. I could set an exception in Avast for that folder and anything that goes in it. Instead of the executable name, which changes by number, or having to disable Avast.

Thanks!

It would be nice if you could set the folder completely by yourself

Good idea for both

I didn't realize that you had to restart PureBasic in order for "Create temporary executable in the source directory" to work. The "Apply" button in preferences didn't do what I expected it to. So my "Source Code" folder is now an exception in Avast. Although I do think PureBasic should still have its own folder in "Temp".

Thanks!

In the meantime some AV can exlude folders by system env name (type SET in cmd.exe to see all)

%temp%\PureBasic_Compilation*.exe
(It's safer than excluding the entire temp directory)

Works in mine AV.

"Create temporary executable in the source directory" works only if you set a new name instead of default name. No need to restart IDE.
%temp% is used only if a name was not defined for source code.

That would not be good.

+1. I hope it gets implemented.

In the meantime, I have all of my files in one subfolder (broken down further by projects) so I can exclude that one folder and all contents.
