PureBasicPrint, a PureBasic IDE Tool for printing colored .PB files
This program is a tool to print colored source codes from the IDE.
You can easily add it to the ToolMenu and/or the ToolBar
PureBasicPrint is nearly finished, so it is proposed here as a beta.

PureBasicPrint output using a virtual printer (PDFCreator)
Roadmap
Code: Select all
;
; TODO :
;
; [ ] Add : Implements Line Spacing.
; [ ] Add : Graphical User Interface (?).
; [ ] Add : Installer (Copy files, ToolMenu, ToolBar, Shortcuts).
; [ ] Add : Do not prints IDE Options at the bottom of the .PB file.
; [x] Add : [ADDED] Better language support (English, Deutsch, Francais, Spanish).
; [ ] Add : Linux/MacOS Compatible.
; Should be but the Syntax Hilighting SDK
; is not available on Linux/MacOS at the moment.
;
; [ ] Optimize : Some redundant calculations can be optimized.
; [ ] Optimize : Read IDE Options starting from end of .PB file.
; This should increase a bit the loading part especially with big files.
;
; [ ] Known Bug : Line Wrapping do not works on large comments at the moment.
; [x] Known Bug : [FIXED] Color mistake when wrapping a line which is inside %CURSOR.
; [x] Known Bug : [FIXED] PageBreaks were processed even if outside of the %SELECTION.
; [x] Known Bug : [FIXED] Some problems with non-fixed fonts (line numbers).

It is a magnificent work. Thank you for it Flype.
But the usefulness seems me limited to a programmer code changes almost constantly. This will do the quantities of printed pages to keep up-to-date. However, for a backup of the rights and keep the paternity of source code, why not. It only remains that you do there a sacred job, yet bravo!

Thank you jacobus and srod.
It's still work in progress and there are some bugs.
If someones can quickly help me, I need to know :
Bytes -> Translation for Francais -> Octets
Bytes -> Translation for Deutsch -> Bytes
Bytes -> Translation for Spanish -> Octetos
FormatDate() for English -> YYYY-MM-DD
FormatDate() for Francais -> DD-MM-YYYY
FormatDate() for Deutsch -> YYYY-MM-DD
FormatDate() for Spanish -> YYYY-MM-DD

Yes of course, printing 50 pages of PB codes is more wasting paper than useful.
But i think, it is especially useful for me when i print just a little part (some procedures, some importants routines) of the source code using %SELECTION argument.
And then i read it at lunch, in train, where i do not have computer but wanted to check/annotate some parts of my code.

that's it for german... If you need further help.....let me know
we use the english word for bytes too and the date is formated usually as in french

For Germany you can use: DD.MM.YYYY or the international Form YYYY-MM-DD

Nice one Flype, but just a little suggestion: my background's IDE colour is gray, and when i print my code, a lot of ink is used
I know source code is provided, but there is a lot of code to read
And what about a requester before printing ? (i know it's almost in your todo list)
Thanks

Hi flaith,
Both requested features are yet implemented.
my background's IDE colour is gray
--> use COLORMODE=IDEONWHITE inside the command line argument.
requester before printing
--> use REQUESTER=1 inside the command line argument.

@Flype:
I am having trouble downloading your PureBasicPrint source code and .PDF file [perhaps due to a problem I'm currently experiencing of finding it impossible to enable cookies on my PC - possibly a virus].
Is there any other location from which I can download your source code and .PDF file. Alternatively could you provide them to me via a private message?
Thanks
