PureBasic Forums - English

Sometimes I have questions about where to post a new topic. I think this will be useful for beginners too.

1. There was a proposal for an IDE. This is not a bug and is not appropriate for the section "The PureBasic Editor : Working on new editor enhancements?", since I don't want to work on the enhancements, but I want someone else to do the work. But I noticed that the topic was moved from the bugs section to the "The PureBasic Editor" section. Perhaps “suggestions and tools” could be added to the topic description. At the moment I have 4 tools located in different topics, but not in "The PureBasic Editor".
2. The topic "Applications - Feedback and Discussion" contains ready-made applications without source codes. For me, this section is of little interest, since it involves testing the appearance of the program and interaction. With the same success, you can test a program written in any other language. It is obvious to anyone that you can write any program in PureBasic. Maybe it's worth creating a section where you can discuss the application with the source code? So that users with more experience can suggest the correct program structure.
3. Maybe we should create a "Snippets" topic? For example, I want to share a short function (CountString2), nothing special, but for the "Snippets" topic it will be suitable.

Countstring2 sounds like a tip and tricks topic to me if it's pb source code.
Applications and discussions could be an application or a library or import library.

"Feature Requests and Wishlists" if it is a feature, "Bugs - IDE" if it is a bug to be fixed.

If you have developed a full blown application with PureBasic you can show and advertise it there, whether you share the source or not. But not just snippets, that's what Tricks and Tips is for.

1. The function is not outstanding, nothing special, but it makes sense for a beginner. There is no point in sharing it with specialists who will write it in 2 minutes.
2. Wish lists as I understand it for new features, not IDE improvements

IDE improvements are new features. I've edited my post to summarize how the structure works. Feature Requests and Wishlist is literally just a wishlist to note down what you'd like to have. Whether it will be implemented or not is a decision of Fred and freak.
