Problem with gir\gtk-3.0.bi & bass.bi

Since fmod.bi is no longer supported and documentation is readily not available, I have switched over to bass.bi. I just spent several days replacing all the fmod.bi code and tried to compile for the first time with the following from the standard FB library (all from up to date Windows 10, FB 1.08)...

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

My computer is only a couple of years old. But yes my library is quite extensive, been collecting music on my computers for 25+ years. For some songs, this is probably the 8th computer they have been transferred to. Lots of projects going on, and I need to find some non-C++ documentation on Musicbra...

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

Thank you for the information. I downloaded PLEX and started it. 3 hours later using almost 100% of one core+ it was still running and killing anything else running. I finally killed it and unloaded it. I will look into Musicbrains and check out the documentation for fbfrog to see if I can work this...

Re: Access to web sites containing music information

I downloaded Plex. I do not see how to access Plex from FB. Given a song or album I have in my music library, how do I use Plex in my FB program to get the album cover or the date the song was released or ... Where can I get the *.bi file/dll for Windows 10 for Plex? How about the same for MusicBrai...

Access to web sites containing music information

I was cleaning up a disk with music recordings that I have gotten over 30+ years from way too many sources to remember. I was wondering if anyone had any software or library to access one of the various websites that contain the cover art and detailed information about the song/album that I could us...

Re: FB debugger : 2.98.1 32/64 BIT ..... (2021/01/30)

It does seem to get harder each year to read the smaller print, even with my prescription glasses on. So at least the right value window, but everywhere would be nice. Again an option for those of us that just cannot see as well. The larger the square with the +, the easier it would be to move the m...

Request to make ithe debugger easier for us old guys

As I have gotten older, my hand is not as steady as it used to be. I was wondering if you could make the feature of bringing up an additional window of the contents of a variable or an error message that indicated I selected something, not a variable, as I move my mouse over the right portion of the...

FMOD.bi Question

I am using FMOD for working on my music library. I have figured out how to do most of what I want to do from the example and looking at FMOD.bi. However, I see lots of routines in the FMOD.bi file and was wondering if there was some documentation on these routines somewhere. The site www.fmod.com do...

Re: Uinteger<32>

I too have never been happy with the form of type declarations. So I declared a set of #Defines to make what I want and let FBC convert it to what it needs. Also, several other constructs like the old Algol Begin - EndBegin statements. You can customize the compiler to allow a much more friendly env...

Re: WinFBE Editor and FreeBASIC Compiler (All-in-One Package) (V2.2.0 March 26, 2021)

Re: WinFBE Editor and FreeBASIC Compiler (All-in-One Package) (V2.2.0 March 26, 2021)

I was wondering if it would be possible when I save a file if those areas that were collapsed (ie the leading "-" is now "+" ) could be saved and restored the next time that file was opened? Not a biggie but would be useful for areas of the file that are not "interesting&quo...

Re: Which kind of parametrized sql queries do you preffer?

I always prefer named arguments over positional arguments. Obviously, if there is only one argument then there is no problem. But in situations where there are many arguments than trying to remember that argument DateOfOperation is the 4th argument is more error-prone. And in the case where the quer...
