    There’s a small BUG in the “Tools->Command prompt” and “Tools->Compiler Version”, the long path names with a space char ” ” are not working. You have to use the short path names instead:
    “C:\PROGRA~1\…” is OK but
    “C:\Program Files\…” is NOT OK.

    Actually, the fix is quite simple. In the “Tools Menu Option” dialog, just change the command line like this (2 double quotes):
    cmd.exe “/k “$C\fbc.exe” -version” is NOT OK
    cmd.exe “/k “”$C\fbc.exe”" -version” is OK.

    Has this site been hijacked? I noticed that some of the pages have timed redirector that will take you to some other commercial site!

    Hello,

    I am developing some projects with .bas and .bi in a particular directory (my projects), and others .bi in C:\freebasic\inc\_MG\VDS\ directory (my personals libraries). When I open in fbEdit my project and also open a .bi from my personals tools dir, theses last files are not correctly reopen in the next sessions of fbEdit. I must close theses tabs witch are empty and reload them.

    My fbEdit version is 1.0.7.2.

    What is incorrect in my config, or is it a bug of fbEdit ?

    But fbEdit is a very good great tool ! and excuse me for my bad english (I’m french)

    Hi MichelG

    The only known limitation on files in a project is that the files MUST be on the same drive. If this is not the case then you must move the files to the same drive.

    Hello,

    With freeBasic/fbEdit install on the same drive than my project dir, it is now good ! I see that in this context, you store path of libs .bi relative to project dir. This explain that !

    But often, I notice that when I open and close these lib .bi (to make minor corrections, for example), then collapses are not correct.
    I presume that you store these informations in the section [FileInfo] of .fbp file, using the number-tab. If same file is reopen in an other number-tab, the collapses are often false…

    Can’t you store FileInfo by filename rather than num-tab ? Like that, info are not place dependend…

    And always, very good prog that I use every days since 6 months, that is when I discover it !

    I want to add to the command line so that every time I run it it appends my command line with:
    <email1.txt

    since the program I am working on is meant to format emails and automaticly make common responses. I like your editor but there is no way to do this then I can’t really use it since i have to command every time to test :(

    Hi MichelG

    For the collapse info to be saved the file MUST be included in the project. The tab index is NOT used, the file info is saved using a project file ID.

    Hi Eric

    Use the Project / Project Options.
    Set the Run Command line parameter to:
    <email.txt

    Since there is a redirection involved you must also check the Start cmd.exe
