Well, I thought it would be solved with this update, but anyway:

Everytime I open a .DBA file directly (double click it so Synergy opens that file) and try to compile it, it gives an error. In the previous versions it just didn't do anything, now it gives a Windows error: "DarkBasic Professional compiler werkt niet meer" which is translated as DarkBasic Professional compiler doesn't work anymore.

Is there any way to fix this?
I'm running on Vista Home Premium.

JMS,

Thanks

Sven B,

Try opening the options window and ensuring that the default values properties grid is filled out. These values are used when you double click a .dba file.

Hotfix - 18th February 2008

* Opening a dba file through the command line correctly loads the default project values

Sven B,
Apologies, the default project values were not loaded when a dba file was opened through the command line. This update should fix this problem.

It works like a charm now!

Thanks! This will save me a lot of time (I had to open a new project and browse to the .DBA file every time...).

Very nice work there!

Hey John Y, sorry for bothering you again, but I'm having some troubles with the line indent.
Is it possible to remove the automatic spacing? Because the backspace only removes one space at a time, and not the whole tab...

The last two builds seem to have introduced a problem, I did not have before.

Sometimes when a program is compiled, when you return to the editor to make changes the F5 key or the compile button no longer works.

I have to save my program and exit out of the editor, when I return everything works as normal. (see attachment)

Ok, if you can come up with a repeatable bug report then it will help me find the problem.

Is it always n compiles?
Is it only some projects?
Is it only when you run the project?
etc.

I tried it numerous times with the Dec 24 release and every time it worked perfectly.

It happens in all projects and is repeatable, just not every time (if that makes sense). I enter code and hit F5, the program executes like it should. When it returns to the editor I may or may not be able to hit F5 (or go through the menus, everything is faded out in the compile/execute section) again to recompile the code. I have to save the code, exit the editor, reopoen the editor and it works.

Man do I wish you could get this kind of service with stuff you pay for.

John, you not only produced a excellent product you give quality service. Just did a quick test, so far it seems to work correctly, I will let you know if I find anything.

This is great, I love this editor. Great work

The only problem I have right now (that I'm sure I may be able to fix, but I can't find an option for it) is that when I go to add a new include file it goes to the DBP project directory, however this isn't where my projects are stored. Is it possible to make some sort of option to open the project directory in the save dialog when creating a new include file?

Well, I have a request for the next update:
Could you please implement an option in "Replace" that replaces only in the selection?
Now, it just has, search next;replace;replace all;cancel buttons and a checkbox for whole word and something with same caps (I'm using a dutch pc so I don't know how it is called in english).
Maybe check for a selection when pressing "Replace all"?

It already does that, and I've just tested it with the Face Demo and a project on my desktop. Clicking 'New File' opens the correct directory both times.

Implemented, just need to get my beta testers to have a look over it to see if there are any problems.

I am having a problem with the latest releases. Everything works fine the first few times I execute my code, but then seemingly at random, the execute buttons get greyed out. Restarting Synergy makes it go away, but it just comes back again after a few more executes.

Hmm...so either A)I broke something or B) I broke something. Haha....anyways, is there some sort of option or something I may have fiddled with to break that? Hmm...

Well, other than my little misfortune here it's a great editor and runs great under Vista. I love the VS2008 style

If you tell me the layout of your project I might be able to recreate it. So, you open your project (say C:\airslide\My Project.dbpro) and then click File>New File and it opens the save file dialog in your dbpro projects directory?

The project is kept in C:\Users\User\Projects\Dark Basic Projects\First Person Shooter. All the DBA files are in a sub directory called "include" (including the main dba). I've tried File->New File & right clicking in the solution explorer and creating a new file and they both go to my DBP project directory (which is on an external HDD).

I've gotten around it by placing a shortcut to "Projects" in my Explorer favorites so when the save dialog comes up I can just select it there.

I have a bug I think:

I have specified a folder for my temporary projects, (D:\DBP\Temp\) but when I compile a project, it clearly says

"Writing project file C:\Users\Sven\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp.dbpro" which clearly isn't the path I specified.
I noticed this when I copied an image in my default temp folder, and then tried to run it... (error: "Could not load ...")

@John - If precompiler fails doing it's job all Compile menu options are grayed out. (even when using the latest hotfix) Only restart will remedy this issue.

I'll have another look over the weekend.

Yep, I changed the behaviour to get it working fully in Vista. I'm not sure whether to remove the temporary folder setting and just use the windows temp directory, or keep it.

Quote: "If precompiler fails doing it's job all Compile menu options are grayed out. (even when using the latest hotfix) Only restart will remedy this issue."


Looks like I need to use a different method of checking the status of the compilation tasks. At the moment it sets a compiling flag in the main compiling thread and then resets it at the end. The trouble is that there are 3+ blocking operations (precompiler, compiler and running app) that can potentially crash etc.

Well, I often put some media in my temp folder to test it without having to create a new project.

"Writing project file C:\Users\Sven\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp.dbpro"
is also a directory that doesn't exist on my computer. Not sure if this is relevant since I am able to create exe's on the fly... The correct path starts with C:\Gebruikers\Sven\... (dutch).

It's using the temporary path that Windows provides (from the GetTempPath API). Is it actually creating the directory it shows, or using the one that you highlight?

Are you opening the project by double clicking the dbpro file?

* Precompiler and execution code now use WaitForInputIdle before WaitForSingleObject to hopefully reduce compiling problems
* Temporary folder specified in options is now used if it exists and has write permissions instead of always the windows temp dir
* Default open file directory is now set when loading a project/file through command line (e.g. double clicking an associated file)

I found a critical error! When you enter incorrect number of brackets and press enter it apparently wants to show a warning message box (at least it was like this in previous version) but the box never appears for me here on WinVista. It just locks up and waits until I press the invisible message box. If your work is not saved you will lost it all.

Speaking about the precompilers - I had problems because of the temp directory. Now when it is fixed I will try to use precompiler again. I will report later if I found anything out.

Problem. From time to time it wont compile the application. There is no pattern to reproduce this bug easily. Simply maybe 1/10 compiles will not compile when I press F5 - and all compile menu options are grayed out again - like it is compiling but actually it does nothing and the only way the remedy is to restart the editor. And I have not yet turned on any precompilers. So this is not the problem with precompilers.

[Edit]

Another quite irritating problem is that sometimes it will also simply stop compiling the application somewhere in the middle of the process. It does no lock up but it simply will not continue compiling the app. Once again you have to restart the application to compile it again.

And one more. I thought you have fixed problem not storing Command Line Arguments in the DBPRO file. Because now when I have to restart application each ~5th compile and retype command line arguments it gets quite frustrating.

[Edit 2x]

Oh, I forgot to mention that these compiling problems where introduced a few updates ago. Before them everything was fine and better.

Can you turn off the two options as shown in the picture in the options dialog and let me know if it makes a difference.

If it does, turn one off while leaving another off and see if you can find out which is causing the problem.

Spotted another one. When you start new project and want to specify location and click on the browse button only Desktop folder is displayed. I am the administrator so this is not the case with user account control.

This seems to be a behaviour change in Vista. It looks like the base folder 'Desktop' no longer provides access to 'My Computer'. I'll research it.


How is turning off those features working for you?

Well after a solid two day work with those options turned off I came to conclusion that it still SOMETIMES may not run the application after compiling it. As I don't see the progress of compilation no more (after turning off that option) I can wait whole day but the application wont start. Then I go to the compile menu and notice that the all items are grayed out again. So far this is the only problem with those options turned off. As I said before this happens quite rarely like 1 out of 15 compiles, but still it is there. The other bit I noticed is that it sometimes will not start the application (after compiling it) until I click on the Output window (where is the compilation information dumped) then it quickly prints out that the editor is launching the application and the game starts. Once again this happens not so often but happens. I guess you need a complete overhaul of this compile/launching code. I cant give you any tips what is the cause of this as I am not doing anything specific that can broke Synergy.

I did overhaul the compiler code , it is incredibly tight now, but it seems that this is causing some problems.

I'll roll back to the old code so you can see if that helps this weekend.

Well, I have a request.

Every update or hotfix, I have to reset every hotkey I use. (CTRL + S, CTRL + R, CTRL + ENTER (toggle outlining), ...)

Could you maybe save them along with the ini file please?
