I've lost my debug windows.. They are there in the tray but I have not
been able to bring them into view. I've changed resolutions, etc..
reinstalled. It probably happened because I usually have my laptop hooked
to a 24" flat panel. But I'm traveling right now and using just my laptop.

Any ideas for reseting their locations?

The external debugger uses the settings in Purebasic.prefs.
Have a look at DebugWindowX and DebugWindowY in [Debugger].

Gnozal,

Any thoughts about adding a keyboard macro recorder to jaPBe?

I used to use a code editor (Borland's Delphi IDE) that had one and it made many things easier.

It used <Ctrl> 0..9 to record a macro and <Alt> 0..9 to play them back. That allowed 10 "slots" for keyboard recordings.

BTW, I only suggest this since I find jaPBe so useful!

Iirc, scintilla doesn't support this feature.
It can record all modifications between two points because of the undo / redo feature, but I don't know how to use this as macro.

EDIT:

SCI_STARTRECORD and SCI_STOPRECORD start and stop macro recording mode. In macro recording mode, actions are reported to the container through SCN_MACRORECORD notifications. But : it is then up to the container to record these actions for future replay.

I make some thoughs for myself about such thing.

I have some similar things to do on lets say 20 lines.
for example a structure with 20 items.

Code: Select all

structure tst
a.l
b.l
.
.
.
t.l
endstructure
Newlist Test.tst()

Now i copy all the vars from the structure and assign them a value, so i do (20 times)
add: test()\ before, then add = and the a value.

So a possibility would be nice, that "record" my keystrokes
Maybe <home>, <test()\>, <end> < = > and maybe a kind of math-expression that add my value <Value + 10>, whereas I define what start value "value" has and the <line down>
then I say "Do it 20 times"

something like that would be really great. A button in the toolbar with start/stop and the a dialog, where I can set a starting value and so on...

And imagine a kind of "macro editor", where I can change a previously recorded macro...
Maybe it would turn out as a kind of scripting language...

With this it should be possible to "code" some macros that do things, currently a plugin does. (remove spaces, or rem-out a block and so on)

Huu, seems to be a lot of work to implement this into jaPBe...

Any motivation, gnozal? [/code]

Hi Gnozal,

I have just downloaded the most recent executable, with the option to highlight the titles on the panel TABS. I feel more relaxed and comfortable already... no more working on the wrong file!

(A 'C' programmer in the lab is contributing suggestions to the providers of an expensive editor / compiler for the H8 micro-processor and the TAB highlight option is going onto his list.)

Thanks a lot for your hard work supporting jaPBe, it really is appreciated.

[Flype]

also much appreciated here. thank you gnozal.

I've got a problem on my Windows Vista machine whereby if I select the About option from the pull-down menus jaPBe exits. It's okay on my Windows XP system.

Kind regards,

Francis.

[gnozal]

Thanks, but I don't have Vista ...

I suspect the image drawing stuff in About.pbi.

jaPBe 3.7.9 build 666 (SEP 27th 2007) for PB4.xx

Wow! Build 666... Devil's build...

Update

Changes :
- added : you can set the debugger output window custom font in preferences
- added : new constant #jaPBe_Compiler_File (same as #PB_Compiler_File but works as expected in jaPBe)
I didn't change the compiler temp file generation because there are several procedures in several includes wich depend on this and I didn't want to break something for so little benefit. Maybe in the future.
