Suggestion for new IDE options

Hi, this is my first time posting, and I`m more used to Blitz2/AmiBlitz on the good old Amiga so please bear with me

1. How about a menu option to open another PureBasic IDE window, so we can work on more than one source code at a time (or just for copy/pasting old code)

2. Would it be possible to add a switch to make PB use a constant filename for exe`s compiled with the compile/run instead of the PureBasicxxxxxx.exe (where xxxxx is what I assume to be a timestamp for the compiled code)
The reason I ask, is because I`m trying to do some network stuff, but everytime I compile with the debugger, my firewall (ZoneAlarm) asks for permission, and because it always has a different filename, it adds that to it`s "allowed programs" list, and at the end of a typical coding session I find 30+ PureBasicxxxxxx.exe`s listed, then have to manually remove them all ,one at a time ! (

Anyway, cheers to all the PB crew, keep it up, you seem to be releasing updates quicker than I can download them !

Guess you are using an old version of ZoneAlarm??

I use to have this problem too but after upgrading to version 3, you can select and delete a range (all at once).

Being able to select a custom name won't help because ZoneAlarm detects newer versions of your program. Just try it... compile a program and run it, then compile a newer version with the same name. ZoneAlarm will be triggered.

There is also another setting "Changes Often" for programs that change their versons often but are essentially the same program. That might solve the problem

Might be worth letting the moths outta my wallet and get V3, it`ll stop me getting RSI from having to individually select them.
Ta for the replies guys.
