PureBasic Forums - English

I needed to cut some large files into smaller ones so I threw together this little app to accomplish the task

The Form was designed in PureVision so I got a little fancy to show off it's cool form skinning and gadget coloring abilities.

It took about 5 minutes to design the form and another 10 minutes to write the code (since PureVision does most of the work for you).

Very nice. I like the fancy interface.

Based on cutting a 278Meg file into 50Meg chunks,
I have couple of suggestions:

- the app doesn't yield while processing.
IOW while cutting, if I open another window and then
try to Alt+Tab, to see the progress, the FileCutter
window does not pop up.

- In order to maintain the great interface, I would recommend
drawing the word "Done" on the progress bar rather than
using the messagebox - maybe cause it to flash a couple of times.

- It seemed rather slow in processing the file - how big
a buffer is being used?
