Could we get Projects for the PureBasic Editor in Version 3.50
Say:
*.PBP - PureBasic Project Files.
*.PB - Pure Basic Source Files.
*.PBI - PureBasic Include Files.
*.RES - PureBasic Resource Files.
The Reource Files could be linked to the program with the PureBasic ver 3.50 Compiler?

I have 'Project Management' code in my PureGUIDE (the only thing what is already finished - this project is stopped...).
The Functions are 'New Project', 'Open Project', 'Save Project' and 'Save As Project'.
I use my PureGUI Wrapper for it (automatic numbering of gadgets, memory, directories...) but it should be easy to make it 'normal'.
I could rip it out and make it suitable for the PureBasic Editor.
'New Project' = makes a new 'Project Directory' and a new 'Source Code File'
The new directory and the MainFile name are the same. Except the file has an extension.
'Open Project' = Opens a project -> switches to the directory (and it could open the main file)
'Save Project' = should save all open files from this Project. (need to be extended because the Editor can handle multiple files now)
'Save As Project' = Copies all Files from A to B and renames the Main File.
Don't forget to make a 'Save Project' first...
All Main Files have the extension *.pbg for now, because it was intended to have a GUI in the main file (but I can make *.pb out of it)
All Include Files have the extension *.pbi
There are no Project files for now, but I can make one to put some log stuff in it, or whatever you want.
BTW: Instead of the '*.res' extension for resources I would prefer '*.pbr'
Also a thought: for the include files that are only used as Header files to use *.pbh.
Tell me what you think.
Have a nice day...

Ok, I modified the code of PureEdit 3.41 (last source code available).
Under 'Files' there is now 'New Project' and 'Open Project'.
You will find the exe file under:
http://fsw.home.attbi.com/PureEdit.zip (The About Window now says Editor 3.41a)
YOU HAVE TO PLACE THE FILE WHERE PUREBASIC.EXE IS (for now).
If you start it you can use it as Editor with the additional 'Project' Menu Items.
Please tell me if you want more Menu Items like 'Copy Project to...' or whatever and what it should do.
Please tell me also if you don't need it at all.
If the majority of YOU like to have a project management build in in the editor - I will send the modified code to Danilo so he can place it in the latest source tree (if Fred agrees...).

What do you need all this stuff for? It's all simply PB code, isn't it?
I mean, i don't want the PB Editor become like Delphi, were it creates a whole
directory of files, of which most of them you don't know what they are for.
I'd like to keep it simple:
There's a *.pb file, and if you compile that one, it runs. No needed Project files, or Header Files.
Why don't you write that Projects stuff as an external tool, which everyonewho likes it can download?
Well, but that's just my opinion...

I agree. There are too many concepts of how to handle projects,
so it would be better if everyone could write or use his/her own
project handler.

Well, PureBasic should at least handle *pb and *.pbi, and both
should be associated with PureBasic on installation.
But many users may want to create their own extensions for
special purposes. I suggest that the editor offers all *.pb and
*.pb? files for opening, and the Save AS dialog should also accept
*.pb? files. Currently, when I save a file as "blah.pbi" I will
get "blah.pbi.pb"...

so its like projects but simple
so i believe that if projects added should be an option since as freak said not everybody would like to mess with misc files for a simple project

If you look at my templates on Pauls resource site, I started to use this extension because I wanted to make sure, that after month of not touching code, to know wich one is the main file and so forth.
If you look at the official editor code 3.41, you will see that every file has the extension *.pb.
And if you start to work with somebody else code you start searching for the main file, and you look through the code to get an idea how the code skeleton looks like.
It's easier to have different extensions for this.

You don't have to use the Project Menu Items, the File Menu Items are still there, so nothing has changed.

I know PureBasic doesn't associate *.pbi files itself, but you can
always double-click such a file and tell Windows to open it with
PureBasic. It works -- I've tried it. And PureBasic will even
save (but not "Save As") it with that extension again.
