Hi Polo, I only had a quick look on my netbook 1024x600, I notice that you do not take screen resolution into consideration, not many people do with PB, please give this consideration for this application as I believe to be a very important point. :)

What do you mean with screen resolution? Can you take a screenshot of what's wrong? ;)

If you have a small screen all the Buttons of the menu on the right side will be outside of the screen
and can't be clicked anymore.

Oh ok, that's true, I'll just divide that into two tabs then :)

I actually divided it into 3 tabs in the new beta, there won't be any problem then ;)

Great stuff. I have only tested it for 2 minutes, will do more when its back to work next week.
Like the code output, really clean and nice.
( i even did some tests i normally wouldnt do like mark several objects and copy paste and you thought of most things.. hehe)

Few things I noticed:
If I make a Frame3D-gadget, usually this is to then later make buttons, strings and other gadgets in this - but if i have a big frame3dgadget it will only select that instead of insert a new one.

(ctrl-tab would be a nice shortcut to switch between code and designer mode)

Image - suggestion to use loadimage as default (as now) but also have the option to automatic inline the image - ie create a datasection and includebinary for that file and use catchimage to open it-

A dream would be to be able to type code here straight away - so like if i create a button i can just rightclick - go to code and then start typing.
Another close-to-this-dream would be to be able to include the .pbf file to my project and use commands to load the form/control the form. This way I could change something easy in the form without screwing up the entire behavour of the program.

I also made a donation. Love your work and I hope a lot of people will find it very useful!

I want to do an image manager where you can choose a relative or absolute path, and a LoadImage or CatchImage, it's on the Todos :)

I need to think how to implement this but that's a good suggestion, I'd love to be able to do that!!

Thanks for all testing/ideas/donation :)
