Although I don't have Linux (but plan to at some point), I'm glad to see that this will become the OFFICIAL ide...making it the best of them all (Blitz3D, BlitzPlus, BlitzMax, PowerBasic, Visual Bas.. Well, this one is actually really good

)

Anyway, the 'final' step that would put this one over the top, as far as I'm concerned, would be incorporating the visual designer, when finished, into the IDE...possibly with some optional Visual Basic-like jump to function power.

Good work, Freak!

Yeah I couldn't agree more.
I too would love to see a different way to use the VD. So we could press a button, create a window, save it and go back to coding. And when I needed to change something in the window code I could click the button again and change it in the dialog designer and there we go... hehehe

I think I remember someone hinting a while back that this was in the works. That is, a more interactive and intuitive link between the visual element(s) and the underlying code.

Perhaps the new IDE, in some near-future incarnation, will exhibit some of these features?

Lazarus (A free Delphi environment studio) is kind of what I'm thinking Pure should shoot for. (Do a google for Lazarus and see what I mean).

Wow, very nice work!
Will there be a gtk2 version of it ?

lol, your not the first to ask this question, I myself have great problems using it due to the fact fonts just don't look right and I just hate gtk1.. but cutting a long story short yes there will be, when no one knows.

Ah ok, it's just that gtk1 seems to be a bit slow here, and it just doesn't
look that good

. And when i want to open the Preferences it takes
nearly one minute until i see that, i don't now if that is because of gtk or
the ide itself.

EDIT:
And when i select some lines and indent them with tab they get
unselected after that.

EDIT2:
After activating auto-complete, the ide when i wrote some lines :roll:

The PB command line compiler works just fine, but I can't get the new IDE to run at all.

Maybe I'm missing some libs or something... any ideas?

Quoting myself must surely mean that I'm odd, sick, demented <insert other descriptive comment here

I'm still using the same Xandros distro and haven't made any changes to the system that I'm aware of, but I just grabbed the download for the new IDE again and everything seems to work flawlessly!

Thanks for the very nice work!! I'm now a happy camper.
