PureBasic Forums - English

i tested it once without any real success and since then never again.
Simply said: I have not used it, I do not use it, I will not use it.
IMHO it makes sense to speed up the development of the important parts, this question seams very important and this unused feature should be abandoned.

Hi

I used it some years ago but have not done so since. I am open to alternative solutions but it is not a high priority for me. There are other issues I would like to see fixed that are more important than Remote debugging.

Long time no hear Luis!
I respect your opinions and code.
Can you elaborate on your visceral reaction to this informal survey?

As mentioned above, I am in the camp of dropping remote debugging to usher in v6 and a more fluid IDE.
I have the luxury of installing PB on whatever target machine I deploy, and use logging for errors that users may encounter.

Hello Luis (I too respect you and your contributions, and your writeups on the good and bad of PureBasic!)

If freak's intent was "only reply if Yes you use it" then I apologize, and maybe freak could add that note?

Personally I appreciate the replies, it shows people are engaged and have some input on this! The worst thing is questions that receive little engagement.

There were only 10 replies of "never used it" when you came in, which on a phpBB forum is hardly overwhelming, perhaps if it were several pages...

No hard feelings, cheers

<OT>
@luis: I have great respect for your contributions on the forum both by way of code as well as discussions. Your post however was as polluted as what it complained about; it didn't answer the question freak asked either.

freak wanted to have feedback to weigh an important decision. I think all of the replies except yours and the responses to yours will help him do that to some degree. If he wanted to further limited the kinds of responses he can certainly make another post detailing that information.

<Still OT>
I would hope that there is some progress on some of the important issues you mentioned in your post but I don't think this thread is the place to discuss any of them.

It doesn't? If people were actively using it and would be bothered by its removal, then now is their time to talk. But all I hear is crickets...

Didn't even know this was available to use

But then again I don't use half the features in the IDE as my coding methods are simplistic at best : WRITE, TEST, COMPILE, DEPLOY

The funny thing is, around two weeks ago, I played with that the very first time.
Not, because I were in need of it, I just wanted to see, how exactly it works, and if that might come in handy in future.
I needed quite some time to get it running, the help was not that much straight forward but in the end I said to myself:
"ehm... o.k. that's it, but in which scenario should anyone really need it?"
Although, Luis will hate me for that ( ), I see no real (personal) need for it and would be fine if it would be removed.

Never used it.

I'm in the 'Never used it camp'.

The normal debugger along with a home made logging system has worked well for me.

@ Captain Shank: WRITE, TEST, COMPILE, DEPLOY... exactly!

Sorry to be predictable, but... I've never used it.

For me, it's: WRITE, TEST, COMPILE, DEPLOY, RETRACT DEPLOYMENT, FIX BUG, DEPLOY AGAIN.

Don't know that exist

Since there were no strong objections to removing the feature, I will go ahead and remove it for the next release. Thanks everyone for the feedback.
