I added "ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en" to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSDN\8.0\Help" - now it works! (SDK and MSDN)

I use the automatic backup and do plenty of saves so I didn't lose much

Could you test the new beta 3.6.6 ? It should fix the paste freezing problem (at least with my tests).

Download BETA 3.6.6 [EXE only] http://people.freenet.de/gnozal/jaPBeForPB400_beta.zip

Now its getting adventurous

...it works!... until i ask for QueryPerformanceCounter_()!

After pressing F1 there comes an error:

and then - of course - compiling is disabled in menu:


BUT after pressing F1 again I get the information I want.
QueryPerformanceCounter_() SDK and MSDN info is found.

After restarting the compiler from jaPBe menu the error comes again.
QueryPerformanceCounter_ is the only function I found where this error appears. (until now)

jaPBe v3.6.5 and BETA 3.6.6

THX for all your help!

After pressing F1 there comes an error:

It 's a Purebasic bug. Try the same in PB IDE ...
It's because no Purebasic keyword begins with a 'Q'.

@speedy gonzales
THX a lot! - No error with beta 3.66

sverson

...two more issues

1st - possibly a bug

• after pressing [F7][Enter] very quick the compiler runs forever - - - until restart...
  
  it seems like save has not finished when the compiler starts (thread problem?)

2nd - it would be nice...

• ...to have a subdir for backups to keep the projectdir clear.

Apparently, sometimes jaPBe doesn't get the #PB_MSG_Compilation_Finished message from the compiler. I don't know why (yet?)

2nd - it would be nice...

Done (reload beta).

Hi gnozal,

a very big "please" to you if you could implement the mod of "Le Soldat Inconnu" to your firther releases where the user can set via jaPBes's Preferences individual indention keywords?
As I did recognise there you can just add the auto indention, but maybe you or he can also support the "bold" highlightning and folding of such settet keywords.
That would be grrrrreat

Great - Thanks!

@gonzal:

Apparently, sometimes jaPBe doesn't get the #PB_MSG_Compiler_Ready message from the compiler. I don't know why (yet?)

I'm just guessing - - for me it looks like this:
When i press [F7] and press [Enter] after a second or two there is no problem.
When i press [F7][Enter] the system is still saving when the compiler tries to open the file. The file is locked for saving -> the compiler (bug?) can't handle this and goes to nirvana.

I hope it helps a little.

I still don't know why sometimes jaPBe doesn't get the #PB_MSG_Compilation_Finished message from the compiler. I can't reproduce this on Win98SE, only on WinNT4, and it does not seem related to saving.
Anyway, I have added some 'TimeOut' fix : could you try the beta again ?

LSI stopped developping his modification for now ( http://purebasic.forum-gratuit.com/view ... 4&start=61 ) and it's still missing highlighting.
I thought adding the modification when it is complete and stable, because it's a huge change in jaPBe internals. Maybe I will have a look when I have some time.

@gonzal:

It might be just a workaroud - but on my XP pro it's running now.
Thanks very much. Now I don't need to restart the compiler every second F7.

P.S.
When i have some time I'll install PB&jaPBe on several VMs - then i can test it on WIN95,98,ME,NT,... - - but as you can guess this will take some hours which i don't have at the moment.

jaPBe 3.6.6 released


- Bugs fixed (and new bugs added)
- added 'Insert Declarations' in Project Menu [language file entries 528 - 529]
- added optional backup directory
