Hi all,

I Just put my GFA Basic32 in the recycle bin, i moved to PureBasic completely...
GFA Basic is dead...:)
Purebasic is alive and is PURE power :)

And a have a little wishlist for Fred.

- Folding procedures , F11 toggles the procedure under the cursor, F12 toggles all procedures from cursor til end of source.
- Binary Include files compressed, accesible as file with syntax open ":filename" as........(binary include now has no compressing),real cool for making setup programs or for including bitmaps.
- Automaticly format the source with tabs, the code in loops jumps in without using tab.
- delete the line the cursor is on with CTRL-Y

See what i mean and what i'm working on at

Benny

I think this is not really needed! If you want to include compressed stuff and decompress later, you have the Pack/CrunchLib included in PureBasic! So you can pack and include the stuff to your file if you really need... My person dont want to see a include command that compress everytime all stuff... due fact, i want use my own packer i.e. - else we would back on ActionReplayIII from Amiga (ripped files where packed with own internal packer, bahhh)

Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y (swapped on english/german keyboard) are working like in all other win appz for Undo/ReUndo... So i dont know why we should not follow this standard...

To delete a line, you have just to mark the textpart and have to press Ctrl+X - Standard too... and this works with PureBasic too...



PIII450, 256MB Ram, 6GB HD, RivaTNT, DirectX8.1, SB AWE64, Win2000 + all Updates...

Dit not now this is on German qwertzu keyboards. do you have to press ctrl-y for undo/redo?
Its just, I have been using GFA Basic from 1986 on Atari , and this basic is using CTRL-Y for deleting the line.
So now i always hit ctrl-y without any result :cry:
GFA Basif is a German product, coder is Frank Ostrowski, so it was no standard those days, even in the German version wich i have here.

I still hope Fred will think about folding the procedures, this is a very great feature of an editor :)
My source is now 2878 lines, and it takes a long time to find my way in it.
If you ever used it, you dont want to lose it :)

thx,

Benny

As far as I know, the editor is just a RichEdit control, and I don't
know if it's possible to "fold" the text inside such a control.

Don't you use the drop-down navigator to find your way around? That's
what it's for... :)

If it is a richedit, it wil be difficult, also for automatic source formating a guess :cry:

Well...it seems i have to use the mouse for that...
Maybe i can send you the GB32 editor, if you try it, i think you like this folding also...

Mmmmmm. i guess i'm spoiled by that GB32 editor...:cry:

Gooood point is the PB programms are small, fast, and much more stable than GB32..:)
And no runtime needed..
And no heavy visual IDE...


Regards,

Benny

No, just press F12 to open it, then use the arrow down key to select a
procedure/bookmark to go to. :)

I agree that folding procedures would be good, but just not really
possible at the moment.
