Hi folks

Been so busy doing Director stuff I've not even had a chance to work with PB but Fred's done such a great job that I'm ready for it now. My only suggestions would be for:

Editor: Add a recent files section to the file menu
Editor: Indented code - I know this would be really difficult to implement but it's so useful and I'm spoilt with Director's indenting
Gadget: Add the slider gadget for things such as volume controls etc. ---V---

My apologies if these have already been mentioned.

All the best.

PS: Fred, do you remember that Install version of PB I sent you? If you need an installer writing just give me a shout.

I agree.

The editor already indents -- what do you mean?

I think it's coming, but there's also an example in the Tricks 'n' Tips section
that you can use until it becomes official.

By indent I mean auto-indeting. The editor automatically indents 'if' 'end if' etc. So, rather than having to tab indent, it does it automatically as Macromedia Director does. I've been spoilt you see.

I tried it in PB and it didn't auto-indent unless I've missed something.

Ah, I see. No, PureBasic doesn't currently do that.
