PB Editor: No Compile mode?

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

When I open several files with the PB editor, each one
loads another instance of Pbcompiler and Winoldap.

Wouldnt it be usefull to have a Purebasic command option
that disables the compiler functionality (or maybe do so
automatically when the file extension is not "PB", but
"PBI", for example)??

Well, perhaps... but if you're never going to compile any *.pbi files, why not
just associate them with Notepad? Why associate *.pbi files with PureBasic if
you don't intend to compile them?

the use of the F1-help ??

I think the editor will get some cool improvements
when the final sourcecode is available.
So we have to wait and wait and wait...

That's a good point that I didn't consider -- I stand corrected. Sorry Horst!

Yes, I definitely have some plans for it.

The Purebasic editor has some advantages over the other (freeware)
editors I tested, so I would like to stick to it.

I have already made sort of a project tree with a PB file launcher,
that avoids opening several instances of the same file (which may
have painful results if you don't notice..)
