Hi Polo, I only had a quick look on my netbook 1024x600, I notice that you do not take screen resolution into consideration, not many people do with PB, please give this consideration for this application as I believe to be a very important point. :)

What do you mean with screen resolution? Can you take a screenshot of what's wrong? ;)

If you have a small screen all the Buttons of the menu on the right side will be outside of the screen
and can't be clicked anymore.

I actually divided it into 3 tabs in the new beta, there won't be any problem then ;)

Great stuff. I have only tested it for 2 minutes, will do more when its back to work next week.
Like the code output, really clean and nice.
( i even did some tests i normally wouldnt do like mark several objects and copy paste and you thought of most things.. hehe)

Few things I noticed:
If I make a Frame3D-gadget, usually this is to then later make buttons, strings and other gadgets in this - but if i have a big frame3dgadget it will only select that instead of insert a new one.

(ctrl-tab would be a nice shortcut to switch between code and designer mode)

Image - suggestion to use loadimage as default (as now) but also have the option to automatic inline the image - ie create a datasection and includebinary for that file and use catchimage to open it-

A dream would be to be able to type code here straight away - so like if i create a button i can just rightclick - go to code and then start typing.
Another close-to-this-dream would be to be able to include the .pbf file to my project and use commands to load the form/control the form. This way I could change something easy in the form without screwing up the entire behavour of the program.

I also made a donation. Love your work and I hope a lot of people will find it very useful!

I want to do an image manager where you can choose a relative or absolute path, and a LoadImage or CatchImage, it's on the Todos :)

I need to think how to implement this but that's a good suggestion, I'd love to be able to do that!!

Thanks for all testing/ideas/donation :)
