Tool wishes for PureBasic/SpiderBasic

[RSBasic]

Hello

If someone would like to have a tool that does not yet exist, you can post your ideas here.

[BarryG]

Good idea, mohsen. Then we could dump a bunch of files in a subfolder and they could all be included without us having to code each filename manually. Perfect for when adding/removing files.

[RSBasic]

@mohsen & @BarryG
I only know this tool by STARGÅTE: https://www.purebasic.fr/german/viewtop ... 10&t=24685
The tool automatically creates DataSection code from binary files using drag and drop.
Is this tool sufficient?

[RSBasic]

When the tool is running, you can drag and drop files to the PB editor.
The tool automatically generates the DataSection code.

Example:
Before that:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 128, 128, "Image", #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

After:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 128, 128, "Image", #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

DataSection

Yes, I'll check and plan. It's a good idea.
But I can't tell you and promise when the tool will be ready.

[BarryG]

I wouldn't want the files encoded into the source. Just included at compile time, so my source doesn't change. That way I can add/remove files to the data folder at will, and know that only the files in there will be included in my source. I know how to do this but I'm too lazy to code tools these days.

[RSBasic]

What I also find very useful are "/// summary" comments to describe procedures and parameters like in C#: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet ... oc/summary


There's no such tool for PB yet, is there?

Not for creating, managing and showing the doc comments in the IDE as far as I know, but there is jaPBdoc to generate HTML documentation from it.

Hello

If someone would like to have a tool that does not yet exist, you can post your ideas here.

Something like my LazyCoder tool would be nice, but for all PB functions etc. Intellisense for PB

[useful]

Snap/Flatpak/Appimage purebasic for linux with menu item to create Snap/Flatpak/Appimage

Nice tool you developed. Because you have the source code, you can add all PB functions. I don't want to redevelop your big tool.
Or you create a configuration file so I can add all PB functions.

It might take a few years for me to finish, though

My source of LacyCoder is crap (and Windows only). Nothing was planned beforehand and I didn't do much structuring/cleaning afterwards. It also lacks in auto-completion which is a must have!
All in all I'd have to completely rewrite the program anyways... and I'm already working on so many other projects ^^

[captain_skank]

Not sure if this counts as a tool or if it's already been achieved...

listing procedures of used include files in the procedures tab of the sidebar would be the most usefull thing ever imho
