Hello everyone,

The ToolBox Manager V1.0.0 is available to download. Unfortunately you will have to compile the source of this program your self. (The code compile fine Under Linux Mint 12 x64 and Windows XP SP3)

Edit V1.0.1 : I have added an Opening mode. see toolbox_manager_en.html for details
Edit V1.0.2 : Forget to mention, miscellaneous bugs correction.
Edit V1.0.3 : Only *.pb and *.pbi files can be viewed by ToolBox Manager.
Edit V1.0.4 : Now it's possible to load the file under the cursor.

Download link : ToolBox_Manager_V104.zip

have fun !

Hi Guimauve, are you going to tell us what ToolBox Manager is for/does? I'm going to assume it has nothing to do with a bag of spanners........

Ok I will put you into the context.

You currently developing a 3D game consisting of 6 different programs. These program use basically the same custom libraries and also use many custom libraries used in many other program. So in the past few years have take the bad Idea to copy the same file 5,6,7,8,9 and more time to all different project folders. Updating these custom libraries are so painful I have place all of these file in the same folder. Now with my ToolBox Manager tool I can manage these files more easily.

So instead of writing in my code : I can simplify the IncludeFile to this : As we can see, it's lighter to read !

ToolBox Manager intercept the PB_EditorOutput.pb to change ToolBoxFile "vector2.pb", "vector3.pb", "vector4.pb" back to Just before the Compile/Execute so for the compiler it's obsoletely normal source code. Moreover, ToolBox Manager allow the user to select witch source code are need for the current project thought a selecting window and insert a line like this The source code after the TooBoxFile keyword can be load in the IDE for review, correction, modification, update an so on.

This what ToolBax Manager do. Managing not compiled libraries written in PureBasic. It's similar to FreeMat or MatLAB ToolBox system. The only differences is in PureBasic we still have to Include the source file.

I hope this can help you to understand.

Best regards.

I see, now that is clever

Hello everyone,

I have just updated the source code archive. 5 different modes has to be configured to use ToolBox Manager : Preferences, Compile/Run, Create Executable, Load File and insert File.

See "toolbox_manager_en.html" for details.

Hello everyone,

I didn't check my self but the download link is broken but I have the source code and I have modified it (converted the entire program into Modules)

My question is : How many of you are interested to have the new version of the source code ?

@StarBootics
Can you upload your modified source code? Then I can upload your file on my server and this file is available forever. Thank you

A long overdue the version 3.0.0 of toolbox Manager originally created by Guimauve :

You could do something like this

IncludePath "/home/guimauve/codes purebasic/librairies/maths/vector"

includes ; does not (yet) exist in PB!
"vector1.pb"
"vector2.pb"
"vector3.pb"
end includes

There are some caveats...
You can not double click on "vector1.pb" to open the file -> does only work with full path.
The block "includes" "end includes" does not exist in PB -> could be an improvement.

The best would really be plugins for PureBasic IDE, so tools can completely integrate in the environment!


So, nice tool!
Thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone,

I have found a bug and make correction and while I'm at it I have re-write the program using an OOP programming style. So you can download the latest version here :
