Just starts the enumeration count at 500.. not that it reserves 500 images?
It's described in detail in PureBasic's help:

PureBasic help for PureBasic objects wrote:I. Indexed numbering
The static, indexed way, allows you to reference an object by a predefined numeric value. The first available index number is 0 and subsequent indexes are allocated sequentially. This means that if you use the number 0 and then the number 1000, 1001 indexes will be allocated and 999 (from 1 to 999) will be unused, which is not an efficient way to use indexed objects...

Not so. I have both of those and my apps compile and run normally with "broken" enumeration like that. A quick test proves it:
Code: Select all
Enumeration 1
#one
#two
; comment
#three
#four
; blah
#five
EndEnumeration
Debug #one
Debug #two
Debug #three
Debug #four
Debug #five

tl;dr
There is absolutely no problem in using the same enumerated numbers... as long as you are using them for different objects... Windows has its set, gadgets have their own etc...
Furthermore, unless there is some special numerical/calculation reason for it (#btn_SIZE = 24...), there is no real point enumerating from anything other than 0 (1 for binary of course).
There maybe some great benefit in naming enumerations, but I don't find it useful. I just group all my enumerations in sections. And section begins "Enumeration 0".

This can't be true, any example where this happens?
I'm pretty damn sure it's not true
I've <cr> spaced my enums since 3.xx, and had comments everywhere in them.
