Refresh / Reload PureBasic files via PB Toolbar

Post by Thunder93 »

Hi folks,

Does PureBasic v4.40 Beta 2 offer a feature (which I'm not able to locate if exists) which Refresh / Reload PureBasic files? ... I know silly question, but I'm contentiously having PB x86 and x64 running and working on the same file, .. and when I make changes and save, I'd like to refresh / reload from the other running PB.

I have a workaround, I added a Tool which is really simply a created Exe that was done through an empty PB template file. And I have it set up to use 'Reload Source after tool has quit', the only problem the source file content doesn't get changed, and so when PureBasic reloads the source file, it automatically assumes the file have been modified and the 'Save' menu icon become activated.

So I'd like to request for PureBasic to offer a source-code check to verify file been modified before activating the 'Save' PureBasic menu icon.



Thanks.

I added a "Reload" entry to the file menu.

Much appreciated for the new addition, and as always, very well implemented. :)

yes, it's useful.
