Hi,
I've another feature request for you: A backward/(forward) navigation functionality. In other IDEs this is typically implemented by providing a backward and forward navigation toolbar button. It should allow to go back to the previous locations one was looking at e.g. when navigating via "goto definition" or when doing edits in different locations or when navigating manually to a different location/file.
Common keyboard shortcuts for that feature are e.g. ALT+Left/Right (cursor keys).
I cannot explain it very well - you could also have a look in an existing IDE (like Visual Studio, QtCreator, IntelliJ, ...) to get some inspiration how it could be implemented.

Thanks again for this great IDE.

This is a really great IDE. It has a lot of great functionality! I especially appreciate function folding, and the simple toggle between 32 and 64 bit compiling. Thanks for all your hard work!

I happened to have Lazarus and Delphi open when I read this, and they indeed use alt+left/right. Probably imported, since there is also an older style ctrl-h/ctrl-shift-h combo. (still from ancient Dos based Borland products probably)

I think it's not difficult that old poseidon ( for D language ) already with Back/Forward navigation at 2007, the point is what action will add to the navigation cache or not, I'll to do it at next reversion...^^

Done, please test...

The short-cut will also add.

You're welcome.....^^

Hi Kuan,

There's a feature I would like to suggest. In the old FBEdit IDE, when you had the current line highlighted to a #include declaration, if you pressed the 'Open' command, FBEdit would open that include file. For example:

Code: Select all

#include once "inc/platform.bi"		<-- If this is the currently highlighted line, the editor would open 'platform.bi'
#include once "inc/core.bi"
#include once "inc/math.bi"

While it may not seem much, it does ease my work considerably, as I usually work with a huge codebase, and this saves me *a lot* of time.
Also, the open dialog file type combo should add another option (which can be the default) for 'Basic Sources' and 'Include Sources' alike, something along the lines of 'All Supported Files (*.bas, *.bi)'. And default to the last path you opened from the file you're currently working on, instead of the last global path, if you get what I mean. Or perhaps I'm just being picky. It's your call ;)

Overall, GREAT work. I just finished setting up everything I need, and started using it. Love the 32/64 button switch. Keep it up!

Regards,
Paul

We can use "Goto Definition" to open the file. ( use Ctrl+Left-Click or Alt + G or selected on right-click popup menu )
poseidonFB search *.bi rule(by freeBASIC chm):
For relative paths, or where no path is given at all, the include file is search for in the following order:
1. Relative from the directory of the source file
2. Relative from the current working directory
3. Relative from addition directories specified with the -i command line option
4. The include folder of the FreeBASIC installation (FreeBASIC\inc, where FreeBASIC is the folder where the fbc executable is located)

But notice, by rule 4, we need include the files without "inc/", or we will get the "File not found" error while compiling

If the "inc" path is our specified folder, use rule 1~3 to enable for compiler / poseidonFB.
( for example by rule 3: -i "K:/CodingPark/FreeBASIC-1.05.0-win32" )

[paul doe]

Yeah, I'm fully aware of what you say, but in that case I end up having to use the @ compiler switch (lots of dependencies). Also, the open dialog thing that I mentioned is a little annoying. Nevermind, though. A message box with 'insufficient resources to complete the operation' showed up when I fired it, and immediately after Avira just killed the exe. Thanks, anyway. Keep up the good work.

Regards,
Paul.

Hi @Kuan, cool, is really nice view how still improving PoseidonFB :D
Here some detail i've noticed:

1. The IDE message window is always visible, even with poseidonFB minimized.
By other side, can you make this window "(un)dockable"? a bit like Outline(left) and Message(bottom) windows, but (maybe?) this time in the right heh.
---
2. Missing strings on language files:
In Find/Replace window the texts: "Find Nothing!" , "Found Word"
In IDE message window the Window title "Message ", Buttons "Clear", "Close"
Preferences Window > Editor > "Set Control Char Symbol:"
---
3. First, thank you very really by use INI as files to save settings now, that is really better for me.

I have a doubt about how is saved the settings in INI file, The [sections] always are followed by an = , why this?

I was looking for a way to add my options automatically, so I'm using the NirCmd command line tool to add/modify some values in settings, But instead of modifying are added as new options to end of file.

then and I think this = symbol is the problem :P

this is my "my_settings.bat" file to make the things.

Code: Select all

Dear c-sanchez:
(1) I've fixed minimize issue at rev0.330, but I think I will not add the "(un)dockable", because it fixed at bottom with Output & Search panel will be a better idea.
(2) Updated at rev 0.330
(3) I modified my code now can accept "[block]=" or "[block]", please check...

[c-sanchez]

Thanks @Kuan Hsu, you are the best :D

Yes, now minimize with main window, but.. and if just chage window without minimize?

haha :P

Other Ideas/Feature request:
1. A option to hide the Tabs bar if we have just one document opened.

2. Don't show the horizontal scroll bar if not necessary. Even if word wrap is disabled. Like vertical scroll bar.
some images to explain me better:

3. An small detail in Search/Replace window. Change a bit the Cancel button, by example:

[Makoto WATANABE]

Dear Kuan Hsu
I updated the Japanese.lng.
http://makoto-watanabe.main.jp/Japanese.zip


By the way, I tried to compile a following program from "Rosetta Code".
Amicable pairs
24 FreeBASIC
24.2 using "Sieve of Erathosthenes" style
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Amicable_pa ... s.22_style
However, it interrupted with the following error.



Please tell me if there is a way to avoid this error.

[Josep Roca]

> Please tell me if there is a way to avoid this error.

Yes. Change MAX to something else. Max is already defined in ntdef.bi:

#define max(a, b) iif((a) > (b), (a), (b))

[Makoto WATANABE]

Dear Josep Roca

Thanks for your quick reply.
I changed MAX to something else.
"Amicable pairs" were instantly displayed.
