PureBasic Forums - English

Hi, I'd like the IDE to have an optional "birds-eye" (or summary/thumbnail/overall) view of your source, like below. See the right-hand side of the IDE. You can click any part of this view to jump to that section of code in the IDE. I especially like how it highlights the visible part of your source in it. Thanks for consideration of it.

+1 for me here, too.
Kind of like this plugin...

BarryG : C64 BASIC rules !

Why not use eclipse in the first place and create a nice plugin for it to code Purebasic with it.

Or visual studio with the purebasic plugin. Other IDEs have this feature and its rather useful.

I chose PureBasic because it is really slim and lightweight and also works as a portable application.
So I wouldn't personally switch to a code editor that doesn't have these features.

Therefore also a +1 from me for the extension of the PB IDE.

I would be happy if Fred and Freak could do an update in which they take care exclusively of the IDE.

Eclipse works fine standalone. I always install it in different directories of my home directory.

By "portable" I meant that there is no installer and the software does not write to the Windows registry or system directories.

But as I see, there is an Eclipse version on SourceForge that has been made portable (*.paf.exe), but it also has about 82 MB (about the size of the entire PB development environment).

Personally, I would still appreciate it if the feature requests were implemented natively in PB.

I'm agreed. Personally, I appreciate the lightweight of the Purebasic editor (Eclipse and other environments are very slow on computers with few resources).
