| Hi! There's a new BLIde version available! (for newcomers, BLIde is a free .NET IDE for BlitzMax) This version needs BlitzMax 1.14 as it uses the 'new' syncmods engine, new debug engine, and so on. For BLIde 0.5.x users, just download here: http://www.blide.org/download1357908642wqeryuioiuysdfgyurB-3423-43-23/blide-0-5-4.zip For non BLIde users, go to http://www.blide.org and follow instructions in the download section. ------- This is the changelog: · Adapted to use the new Debug binary compatibility protocol of BlitzMax 1.14 · NEW FEATURE: Expression evaluator, compatible with Visual Basic Script and most of the BlitzMax functions. · New help commands-parser engine, compatible with HotDocs · Several memory improvements here and there · General data reestructuring · New keywords added (superstrict) · Add-Ons integration engine, now experimental but it doesn't affect the normal BLIde usage. THIS UPDATE IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH BLITZMAX 1.14 and over. It is a MAJOR update. (so download is about 6 mbytes). |

| Thanks, much appreciated as usual. :) |
| ||
| Thanks! It's a very very recomended update. |
| ||
| Hi ziggy I would like to use my own custom colours. I do not like the alternatives in your colour menu as they miss a lot of colours I prefer. Can you please show me how to use my own RGB colours? |
| ||
| I'm not sure how you can do that in BLIde, I'll arrange this to make this possible. In fact, the colour scheme definitor is being redesigned to support some extra features for version 0.6.0 (not yet released) |
| ||
| Hi ziggy, there are still two or three things holding me back from using BLide... 1. The File-Popup when you start BLide 2. Why doesn't BLide opens the last opened Files again ? If this 2 things could be optional there is nothing to stop me anymore. :) I would be very ashamed, if these issues are still there and i haven't found them until now *gulp*. |
| ||
| Thanks ziggy. Only the colours stop me from using it now... cos I like my own scheme :) |
| ||
| @d:bug: This features aren't there, but they will be there on the next release. |
| ||
| Several memory improvements here and there You made my day, it runs like a dream now. |
| ||
| Thanks! PS: There is a small bug that I have been meaning to mention for a while. When you try to paste text into the search box using control V it actually pastes into the IDE and not the search box. |
| ||
| Thanks, great update! One question that's been bugging me for a while... Why does it ask if you want to save changes when you exit, even when you've made no changes? Even if you click 'Save' then immediately after that close the app it asks if you want to save changes? |
| ||
| @Sean Doherty: Are you sure you're using version 0.5.4? Check your 'Help / About BLIde' dialog, becouse this bug was fixed in version 0.5.1 and I can't reproduce it on current version @marcusi: It asks for security reasons. I'll improve this. |
| ||
| Doesn't work for me... :-/ It installs just fine, but after starting the application I get the following error message:  I'm up to date on all windows updates, Use blitzmax 1.14 with latest syncmods, and had no problems with the Blide 0.5.3 version. - Uninstall blide and reinstalled 0.5.0: works - Apply 0.5.4 update: same error as above again. Rebooting makes no difference... |
| ||
| @xlsior: ?? Try to install it as a 'fresh' installation. I mean, uninstall every previous version of BLIde, and download it again. If the error continue, please let me know. |
| ||
| I tried uninstalling it altogether, removing the folder, and reinstalling from scratch.. The reinstall of 0.5.0 works. I then install the 0.5.4 setup (which completes without errors), but launching the .exe after install results in the error listed above. I did notice that the 0.5.4 update is different than the other ones though -- instead of a single update file, it contains a setup.exe and such again. Re-running the 0.5.4 setup gives me a remove and repair option -- repair does nothing, remove will remove the entry from the installed software list, but the 0.5.0 remains will continue to give the error message. After installing the 0.5.4 setup, The windows installed software list contains two entries simply called 'blide', but the version info does indicate that they are 0.5.0 and 0.5.4 |
| ||
| Try uninstalling all BLIde versions, removing folder, and installing DIRECTLY BLIde 0.5.4 (don't install BLIde 0.5.0 before). And be sure to have internet explorer 5.5 or greater in your windows distro. Are you using XP? Are you using chinesse windows? (there where some problems with chinesse windows and BLIde) Is anybodyelse having the same problem? |
| ||
| Try uninstalling all BLIde versions, removing folder, and installing DIRECTLY BLIde 0.5.4 (don't install BLIde 0.5.0 before). Tried that just now -- still the exact same error. I'm using a fully up-to-date Windows XP, IE 6.whatever, US English. As a sidenote: I *did* install in a custom folder, C:\Code\Blide rather than the default one... But wiping it completely and installing it in the default folder leads to the exact same error. some more info: When pressing the 'cancel' option, I get the following error:  No idea what that is, don't seem to exist on my system? (Also, just so we're clear: that initial pop-up window is the very first thing that pops up when launching blide 0.5.4 -- no splash screen, no module scanning, nothing) |

| It seems there's a problem in your .NET framework. cordbg.exe is a Microsoft .NET 1.1 framework file. I'll take a look to ensure if it has any relation with the Microsoft Debuging engine. I would like to send you a mail as soon as I get what's happening. Could you please email me at supermanel*at*menta*dot*net? I'll replie with a solution as soon as possible this file is the .NET debuger, wich may be installed in the .NET 1.1 SDK. BLIde souldn't need this file to work, so I'll see if this version was released with the DEGUB enabled. Meanwhile, go back to 0.5.3 untill I find what's happening |
| ||
| What are the requirements of your program? Is .net 1.1 sufficient, or do you need the .net 2.0 stuff? |
| ||
| Only the 1.1 It seems this release of BLIde has the 'DEBUG' activated, so it may need the 1.1 SDK debug engine. I'll fix this tonight. |
| ||
| OK... I tried the .Net 2.0 installation as well before I saw this last posting, but that didn't make any difference either. I definitely don't have the debug stuff installed, I tend to keep the clutter out if I don't really need it. I'll wait for the non-Debug version then, thank you very much for looking into it. |
| ||
| Yip! I am using version 1.5. 1) Open a document. 2) Copy text from the ide 3) Press Control F to bring up the search 4) Press Control V to paste into the search box. It pastes into the ide instead? |
| ||
| @Sean Doherty: But if you put the focus in the search dialog everything works as spected? If it's a focus issue, I will fix it for next release (tomorrow) |
| ||
| Did you upload a different version that I can try yet, or should I still hold off? |
| ||
| Even when I set the focus control v still pastes to the ide. Right click and paste works fine. Should I uninstall and reinstall 5.4 from scratch? |
| ||
| @xlsior: The update is not out yet. I'll post it here as soon as it's released. |
| ||
| There is ONE thing preventing me to code with Blide rather than with the default IDE. Right now the default TAB is 4 spaces. And I am use to TAB of 2 spaces! So how can I change this option in Blide?? I didn't see any option... That would be nice to add that to Blide!! Keep up the good work! |
