- F5/F6 : now jaPBe adds the PBCompiler path to %PATH% before compiling to ensure the 3D engine DLLs are in the path

Thanks! I can now continue working on my code in JaPBe ( I had had to temporarily switch to the PureBasic IDE before the update).

Its possible to change jaPBe text in titlebar?
I have 3 jaPBes installed (once for each version of PB im suing, depending on project) and need to indentify it easilly. (I want to put on jaPBe title bar the PB version if possible).

What's the equivalent to PB-IDE's :
"Create temporary executable in the source directory"

Hello gnozal,

JaPBe has a very long starting-time (about 15 secounds) when I enable
the option Load constants from residents. This problem was also
some versions earlyer. Please do you can fix it ?

BTW:
It is possible also again fix the F1 hotkeys for APIs ?

Hi,

Have been happily running with PB v 4.00 and an earlier version of jaPBe v3

Tonight decided to get up to date and have installed PB v4.20 and the latest incarnation of jaPBe 3.8.5.701

New version of PB launches fine. But if I try running jaPBe it complains with ...

Can't initialise compiler.
PBCompiler: 2 OS functions have the same name: DirectInputCreate_() ...

Tried launching my previous version of jaPBe (I'd not got rid of it yet) with exactly the same error message.

Any ideas anyone?

Try a fresh install in a different folder...

Sorted it. Cleared the PB folders and did a clean install.

All fine now . . . but was in a panic with a few projects on the go.

There isn't.

Currently, there is no such option.
Note that jaPBe reports the PB compiler version in the log at startup.

@ricardo: here's a crazy work-around idea. You could create an empty file that has the name of each version of PB, (i.e. PB v4.10 .pb, etc.) and have it be the first one loaded in JaPBe in each respective JaPBe you have open. This would inform you which installation you were using by looking at the first program tab (because it would show the empty file with the version# in it's filename).

I hope that makes sense. It won't show in the taskbar, but should give you quick idea of what's there when you switch to each JaPBe version. Along a similar track, you could use different color schemes for a visual indicator also.

Hi Gnozal,

I need this feature, too! My application needs a lot of data from the installation folder like language-file, default-configuration and a special DLL etc. This is data I need to store in the application path as I like to distribute it on USB Sticks. Now, I need to compile and start the tool each time manually. A "Create temporary executable in the source directory" option would help me very much!

Please...

Should it be a global (CTRL + P) or local (F8) option ?

Update

Changes :
- added 'Create temp EXE in source dir' in project options
- added PB Compiler version in jaPBe title bar

I don't use JaPBe but I like PureBasic IDE's method of enabling it on a per-source basis. I only need it for specific projects.

Hi gnozal,

A project-option would be best I think (Project -> Project Options). A global definition would be ok, too.
