this is more of an annoyance than a bug... looking in the folder, the application .exe timestamp never changes. edit and then compile should put a new timestamp on the .exe. kind of unsettling when the timestamp never changes....

That's because the .exe file is not actually created during the compile. The compile is actually creating the bytecode file from your code and then copying and renaming the Windows player so that the .exe file has the same name as your project.

I'll bet that the timestamp on your .exe is the same as that for the AGK\Players\Windows\Windows.exe.

Cheers,

The exe file and the media folder, which contains the bytecode file.

-- Jim - When is there going to be a release?
