Hi Freak,

Could it be possible to add an option in the "Preferences -> Editor -> Folding" to add all the possible folds keywords because each time i install purebasic i have to enter them. By default, not all the keywords are defined.

Code: Select all

CompilerIf
CompilerSelect
DataSection
Enumeration
Import
Interface
Macro
Procedure
ProcedureC
ProcedureCDLL
ProcedureDLL
Select
Structure
StructureUnion
just a suggestion.....

Don't you backup your Prefs file before reinstalling PureBasic?

i've tons of backup. but, i prefer to not use an old preference file with a new release because of possible incompatibility, especially while testing beta.

You can just copy-and-paste the relevant prefs section though.

Still, keyword coloring can be loaded from a file, so I guess keyword folding should too, for consistency. ;)

Several options:

- Preferences are backward compatible, a newer IDE should always work with an older prefs file (not the other way around though!) This is also true for betas.
- Use the Import/Export option in the preferences to export your folding list.
- The preferences support Drag&Drop now, so save your folding list in a textfile, then simply select the text and drag it to the Folding list in the preferences window.

I didn't know about drag'n'drop on the preference panel.

Very good point, so that i can drag a keyword directly from the current code source. 8)

For the Import/Export i know about it, but for such things i'm a bit lazy :oops:

Finally it's OK, thank you for answer Freak, nice to you.
