Thanks for sharing! The lower case thingy for example is one of the stupid decisions I was talking about...

Edit: Type extensions like .d or .f don't work with LazyCoder ;(. Another missed opportunity ^^. The project evolved from a simple "Proof of Concept" to what it is now and I didn't see the whole picture back then...

I discover, it's a great idea
When it comes to simplifying things, I guess that we are all LazyCoders.
It would be nice if it had, in addition, an autocompletion function
And even better if it could be integrated directly on PB auto completion.

You're welcome... Glad you like it.
Yes, auto completion would be nice

This is impressive.

I have found that the "Open Preferences" tool button only opens something blank Untitled file.

Is this intentionally not opening the real preference file and creating a user preference file in order to not disturb the distributed preference file? or is this a bug?

I can't reproduce this bug, sorry. Do you have write permissions where the prefs file is stored?

Yes.
I am glad you asked this question. I had file access speed issues that I had to resolve with an application of mine while using OneDrive. I am assuming that the extra drive activity that it begins doing to synchronize is just enough to cause failures.
I actually fixed the issue with a conditional to catch errors.
for some reason this error checking makes it work. I have your tool in OneDrive as well.

Code: Select all

info = RunProgram(tmp$ + "compilers\pbcompiler.exe", "/version", "", #PB_Program_Wait | #PB_Program_Hide | #PB_Program_Open | #PB_Program_Read)
If info
  AddGadgetItem(#list_ide, -1, StringField(ReadProgramString(info), 1, ")") + ")" + Chr(10) + tmp$ + "PureBasic.exe")
EndIf

I have your tool in OneDrive as well.

So I guess it's working now?! I don't use OneDrive

Mine is. I am saying maybe yours is doing this behavior for similar reasons.
It is not a breaking error with yours though. I can just navigate to the prefs file in the explorer to open it if I wish.
I just thought I would ask about it, wondering if it creates a separate preference file as a user space that gets used simultaneously with your default.
Then what you said reminded me of my woes of last night.
No worries. I love this tool.

Also I kind of don't want to use OneDrive it serve my current needs though sadly enough.
