The unpacked exe is about 1.4 Mb, compared to the about 550 kb of the
PB-V3 compiled exe, but it includes the on error linenumber support.
But even without it, it's still about 1 Mb.

Just download and test.

There is nothing in the sorce and exe archives..... they are empty!!!

message: invalid file or corrupted... I tried three time...

updated.... links erased!!

Is it just me or are the archives corrupted to death?

[edit] ahhh, it's not just me lol[/edit]

Sorry, was my first time using PureStorage, misinterpreted the links.
Post corrected.

Now it should work.

Please dont use the links in the quote by chen, they are not corrected.

I try to save the sourcecode

I installed it in the current jaPBe Directory, only changed the name to jaPBePB4

Im running Win XP Home

Maybe I required some instructions

chen · Post by **chen** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 10:45 pm

OK....

if I put it in the current jaPBe directory it crashes with the message in my
previous post.... I changed the name of current jaPBe an left yours
with name jaPBe ... same result.. it crashes.

What I did....

I created a new directory.... and put in it:
- JaPbe
-SciLexer.dll

and ran it... asked me for the "plugin" directory, I copied it from the
curent jaPBe directory and paste it here...... its running!!

Im testing it ......

Please read the whole post , cause there are some points that are OK, but at the
beginning I thought were errors cause my first installation failed.

Update: Oct 14, 15:14

In Preferences tab General

- there are no button to select "Source Directory" and PureBasic path"
- There are no themes .... WORKING...

In Style/Editor

- "Background Button" and "Set to All Back... truncated

- Compile OK
- Indentation OK

- Preferences/Definitions it does not reload.... WORKING
- Preferences/Include... empty .... WORKING
- Preferences/Skin ... No Skins available .... WORKING
- Preferences/General "Remove all jaPBe associations" truncated

- Preferences/Style/Editor when you try to adjust color make a mess... for
example I changed "selection" option and change background color of all
the page .... WORKING
- Preferences/Style/Editor "Save current style" button truncated
- Preferences/Style/Sditor "Background" button truncated

Wait....
I copied all the files from jaPBe to the jaPBe PB4.....
I ran it and get the pop message described in a previous post..

the directory causing problems is "Language" I deleted it and
all start running.....

I dont have time right know.... I go out for dinner....
tomorrow I continue......

- Preferences/Definitions OK
- Preferences/Include... OK
- Preferences/Skin ... OK

I can change Styles right now BUT ..
- the column where the option buttons are does not show the color
of the differents themes.... WORKING

The problem inside the "language" directory is caused by the file "English.txt". (note.. the crash is at startup)

I dont think is corrupted cause the current jaPBe runs without problems...
and I dont know if this file is different in your installation....

- language problem: French make jaPBe crash when selected preference/general... option language.

To test the sources I need the ico files called by jaPBe....

is it posible?

technicorn · Post by **technicorn** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:00 am

@chen: About the crash with the language, it seems you are using a slightly newer installation of jaPBe,
this is incompatible with my compiled version,
because gnozal had add some extra translation for the new functions.

I could upload my complete source directory, but I think it's of no great use yet,
bacause there are some ugly bugs in the PB-compiler that I can't fix

.

I'll have to wait for the compiler update, before I make any further changes to the sources of jaPBe.

BTW:
If someone has downloaded the exe and it crashed, please have a look in your
Windows TaskManager, on creashing it will not kill the
PBCompiler_jaPBePB4.exe

Sorry for the inconvenience,
technicorn

Understood,

Anyway it wil be great you have the time to fix the truncated buttons...

I want to say T tested more than 10 programs and runs seamlessly...

Right now Im working with it in my final application... working fine!!!

what about the icons from my previous post?

technicorn · Post by **technicorn** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 8:23 pm

Hi chen,

forgot to thank you for your detailed bug report,
and about the source, will post the complete source dir tomorrow.

About the style change, seems that this is part of the problem,
bacause the way the IDE crashes depends on XP skinning enabled or
not.
But when you got the sources, you can recompile the IDE with different
compiler settings itf you like.

Greatings,
technicorn

You're welcome...

I found another detail... when you use the "project options" directly from
the menu bar the properties changed are not saved, want to say they are
unchecked.

buttons "ok", "cancel" and "help" do not exist...

Reupload of the executable, sources and info text:

Windows executable
Info text
Complete sources

Newest addition by gnozal are not incorporated into this sources!

Known bugs:
Crashes on using "Next file" when using "Find/Replace" in replace mode, seems stable in find mode

You can not simply install the compiled exe in an existing directory.
Please create a new one, copy all of the existing one to the new, except for the *.txt files from the "Language" directory,
instead overwrite them with the ones from the source download, or
the new exe will crash!

I don't know when I will incorporate gnozals additions, I rather wait for a more stable PB compiler.

BTW: If you want to check for changes in files, I would recommend WinMerge: Get it
It's quite easy to handle.

Greatings,
technicorn

Hi,

I think you are doing a great job... sadly the way I can help you is testing.
anyway Im going to put an eye in the sources.....

Ok back to the test.... I update my previous topic... but here I summarize
it:

Problems (I think is only make up thingy):

In Preferences

Tab General

- "Source Directory" button does not exist
- "PureBasic path" button dows not exist
- "Remove all jaPBe associations" button truncated

Tab Style/Editor

- "Save Current Style" button truncated
- "Background" Button truncated
- "Syncronized backgroud" button truncated
- "Underline" button truncated

I saw some others... not so important... making a list...

It sometimes crashes with an invalide memory access in the WindowCallback() procedure,
although all it does, is returning from the procedure without executing any code.
Then it crashes on the PB internal cleanup of three strings used in the procedure,
so I can't track it down further, because PB debugger don't allow assembler instruction stepping

About the cut of text, this is strange, because I didn't changed the size of any gadget,
does the text on my compiled prog seems bigger than on the original version?
And are you using the Windows standard font sizes, or did you changed them (size and/or fonts) or did you use a theme?

I just had the program running and it all looks normal here, no truncation.

I'm using XP, but I had all switched to Windows 95 look and feel,
I don't like this overly colored styles with all this animations
