[IDE Tool] History Viewer 2.20 [Win & LINUX]

[fryquez]

Yes, i do use the "-prefs:" command line option.
if I setup this portable PureBasic installation on a normal 100% scaling desktop and than
use it on a 200% scale device, the font size of the code will remain the same, no chance to read it.

O.k., makes sense, I'll look into it.
That dpi-crazyness always drives me crazy!

[HeX0R]

o.k., that's not possible.
The whole code view is defined in a (user defined) css file (preferences -> style), I can't go through that file and change the size, whereever needed.
Problem seems to be, that the default css has a font-size for the code view of 11px.
Pixel might be a bad idea, I seem to have changed that somewhen (in my own style sheet) to

Code: Select all

font-size:           0.8rem;

which seams to make things better.

Here is an interesting read

Thanks! using 0.8rem looks good on different scalings.

I'll change the default css, so if I finally will release a new official version, new users should not see that behaviour.
But I guess that thread will fall asleep (again) for some years anyway

@HeXOR, I can't find the download for History Viewer 2.30, your website only offers the old version from 2015.

[HeX0R]

It's still at the same place you asked for last year:
https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewto ... 69#p603769

Since interest is very low, I didn't update the original download link on my site.
I probably should do that, just give me a hint, when you lost the download link again (in ~ one year )

[fryquez]

Now I see it, thanks.

Excellent tool. Planning on starting back up, and your utility is essential in my book! You make any updates since you giving me the 2.30 version? Mine showing V2.30.051, thanks for always sharing.

Damn, I've created that a few weeks (months?... years??) ago, but somehow I didn't make it official.
Use that link for now => https://hex0rs.coderbu.de/Sonstiges/pb/hv_2.30.zip

In fact, my own version which is in a daily use, is also V2.30.051.
I know, trust in tools which seem to be no longer updated is low these days, but it could also mean that it is perfect as is

O.k., joking aside, the truth is somewhere in between.
The functionality it was meant to offer seems to be error free, although some things could be improved, no question.
But I just don't dare to touch it without real need.
It had been created very long ago, my coding style was... weird that time, adding small things might break others which worked flawlessly before.

In case you find real bugs, I have to join that adventure, otherwise I'd still keep it in its current state.
If PB wouldn't had introduced that history feature (which I always switch off, btw.), I wouldn't have lost interest for improvement most likely and would still tinker with the code from time to time.

No your tool seems rock solid, no problems yet, or I would of reported these to you. Although I've been away from programming for so long, I feel like I'm learning to walk all over again. I don't really know of anything you can do to enhance it further. You much wiser now, if anything, be code optimizations.

I'm your biggest fan! Thanks for the awesome tool!
