Very often I forget to save an included file in the editor,
before I run the compiler.

It would be a great help if the files were marked
(by red font color on the file tabs, for example),
as soon as any changes are made.

Mhhhh.. if we talk here about editor and save sources stuff... i have there another small thing that would be maybe a nice feature for some people... What about an optional option, when saving a file (original project name) and the editor will create automatical a .bak file! So you can change your actual projcet, save/run and compile it.. and if you see that there is something wrong and you forgot to create a backup of the last (working) source version, you have always the bak file...

What i mean, when saving a project, dont save this as *.pb and *.bak!!! Nooo... IF you changed your source and save it, the new version will be saved as *pb and the old (before you overwrote it) will be saved as *.bak

What do you think? Just an idea

That sounds fine. And what about "AutoSave every x minutes"?

A "save all source bevor 'run/compile'" would be nice.

What is already where?

I cannot convince my PB Editor 3.53 to save all source bevor run/compile.

Anyhow, I started this topic with a simple suggestion:
to mark files that have been modified (and not yet saved).
Is this such a bad suggetion?
I use several other editors, and they all do this, for a good reason.
Is really nobody interested??

Ha, yes, my mistake. It save only the current one. Should be changed to save all the sources, yes (old editor was one source only).

Can this be optional please? It is really anoying, if I only want to write a short Code example for the Forums (for example), I always have to save it. (The SaveFileRequester always pops up.)

Maybe it is possible that this feature is only turned on, after the Code was saved once, and not, if it still says at the Panel?

Would be great...

Yes, its annoying.

IDEAS:

1.- Instead of make *.bak make a numbered version.
Then you could store old versions of your code.
If im coding myapp.pb and i made a change my new saved pb will be myapp_1.1.PB

Or something like that.

2.- The IDE let me store snippets in a small database (will be great!!!) and search into them.

Thanks

Best Regards

I just edited my IDE a few days ago to support this very thing(save all source before run/compile). Here's what I did:

Purebasic IDE.pb
Replace lines 1033-1035:

Code: Select all

If AutoSave  SaveSourceCode(FileList()\FileName$, 0)
EndIf

with:

Code: Select all

If AutoSave
  ; Save all source code
  *OldElement = @FileList()
  OldRichEdit = *RichEditGadget
  ResetList(FileList())
  While NextElement(FileList())
    *RichEditGadget = FileList()\RichEdit
    SaveSourceCode(FileList()\FileName$, 0)
  Wend
  ChangeCurrentElement(FileList(),*OldElement)
  *RichEditGadget = OldRichEdit
EndIf

Misc.pb
Replace line 108:

Code: Select all

Data$ "Save source file before 'compile/run'"

with:

Code: Select all

Data$ "Save all source files before 'compile/run'"

Hope this helps!
