New Release of AmiBlitz 3!

[Honitos]

Hm, why not?
Would this behavior be a common usecase for you?

What should the IDE do if use click on the close button with only one source file remaining? Just open an empty new file as with @Empty_Source?

[Nightshft]

I think it would be nice. Personally I like closing a project and taking a 5 second break before opening the next

Empty source or maybe just show an empty frame (with or without Welcome screen/picture) and the user then can create a new file or open one from disk.

Edit:
For everybody also using ClassicWB. The Workbench has an extended menu on top which clashes with the AB3 menu. Just close ToolsDaemon in CommoditiesHandler to fix this (click on "remove", it nevertheless will be there on next restart). Or start ToolsDaemon a second time to close it. I created an iconx to do this.

The problem with this one seems to be that the supplied bitmap number must be a .l variable or a constant, otherwise the type error appears. So these fail:

bm.b = 1
*b.bitmap = Addr BitMap(bm)

bm.w = 1
*b.bitmap = Addr BitMap(bm)

while these work:

bm.l = 1
*b.bitmap = Addr BitMap(bm)

#BM=1
*b.bitmap = Addr BitMap(#BM)

*b.bitmap = Addr BitMap(1)

By the way, does Amiblitz3 accept ascii encoded include files?

Thanks again for the great work you have done with Amiblitz3!

[Honitos]

Interesting point with bitmap-objects!
I may look into it later.

Yes, AB3 can handle includes as pure textfiles.
The current release already provides all includes as ascii files.

Great work, many thanks to Sven Dröge

It fixes:

- the 68060-detection error
- the wrong display of free fastmem above 100mb
- windowsizes fit into 640 screen's width

Thanks for your efforts on this Honitos.

You are welcome!
Happy to see the changes are useful for some people.

Hello Honitos,
I'm doing the italian translation of the whole IDE and i'm already at a good point.. however it seems that the main catalog still a bit broken .. the strings will be placed in a wrong order when i start the AmiBlitz interface.
Please can you check this ?

Once fix i will complete the translation so you can upload everything on github!

Thanks

[Honitos]

Hi!
I know, the problem is with the generated .cd file StormWizard generates.
StormWizard is the tool the GUI is designed with. It seems to use the same labels again sometimes. Fixing this would be a huge work.

When I did the german translation bars on the english catalogfile I haf problems,too.

I juse SimpleCat for the work. I realized, I have to export the catalogfile WITHOUT optimize-checkmark set. Then it works.

Yep, atleast everything it's compilable with FlexCat aswell ..
Aniway, perhaps i can anticipate the time sending you what i actually have (currrent translation+ dictionary) so you can start checking what's wrong

Is there a way to send you things ? by mail maybe ?

You could do a commit/merge request on github,
or pm me.

Ok, to make it easy i attach the file here:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...93276581130806

What it contains:

- The italian phrasebook: 99% Done
- The italian catalog: 85% Done

But for the italian catalog i need a fixed .cd (catalog descriptor) in order to make the strings correctly fill the program

At the moment, you can upload everything on github, then once you fix the catalog descriptor i will complete the work :-)

I dont know your roadmap but here I go to request a feature.
Would be possible to add an option to check if a variable is being used but was not declared previously?

Perhaps is my head but I think that ab3 is more estable now.

thanks for the work mate!

[indigolemon]

This is great, I love that I can use Amiblitz for dev again without the FPU requirement. Thank you so much for this!

This is already implemented by the "Syntax"-Command.
The helpstring gives you the required information about it.

Thanks for your work that will help your italian collegues alot.
But the problem is not the catalog descriptor file, but the wizard project itself. Rearranging the complete ID-set will lead into a lot of rearranging of the different languages...
Till now, I just let is as it is, as the resoluting catalog file compiled with SimpleCat works. I am going to export your italian language with SimpleCat again, hoping it will work too.

I overlooked that! Thanks for the info.

Ok tested a bit ...
Meanwhile i've completed at 100% the italian PhraseBook, you can download it from here:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...36807958713163

(Please commit it on your repo)

But found also some minor problems in the reference shortcuts window, these 3 strings doesn't work correctly or just took the localized string in a wrong manner

"<CTRL>+click on filename" "<CTRL> + Click sul nome del file"
"cut, same as <AMIGA>+<X>" "Taglia, come per <AMIGA> + <X>"
"cursors down select row" "Cursore giu' per selezionare la riga"

Also a string seems missed, the "Key" string of the separator label of the shortcut window
Please check everything as you can

I have a crash with this last version when I try to enter to IDE preferences (error #8000000A).
