Dear IDE develpoers,

I took an PB22R3 application and migrated it to a solution. That worked fine. The compiling speed (pbd) is fantastic about 10 times faster!

But I found some issues:

  • The IDE is often prompting for a new DB connection although there is one.
  • Collapsing control structures is nice but it should collapse not only the whole structure but for example the “then” and “else” part separately. In case statements there should be a collapsing for “choose case” and each “case” statement.
  • In a PBD compiled version (32bit) resource pictures are not displayed although there are the corresponding pbr files (no changes to the working PB22R3 application).

I'm looking forward to the next beta version.

King regards

Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,

 

#1. The IDE is often prompting for a new DB connection although there is one.

Ken: I didn’t reproduce it locally. Can you tell me in what situations the DB Connect prompt window typically appears?"

 

#2. Collapsing control structures is nice but it should collapse not only the whole structure but for example the “then” and “else” part separately. In case statements there should be a collapsing for “choose case” and each “case” statement.

Ken: This is not supported.

Only pairs of keywords support Collapsing. “else” and “case” are keywords in “If … End If” and “Choose Case … End Choose”

 

#3. In a PBD compiled version (32bit) resource pictures are not displayed although there are the corresponding pbr files (no changes to the working PB22R3 application).

Ken: I have reproduced this problem locally and I will submit a bug to the development team.

 

 Regards,

Ken

I noticed during a migration that it would connect to the database when needed (normal behavior) but then would disconnect at/near the end.

Hi Ken,

thanks for your answer.

To #1:
When I'm connected to a database and start "deploy to pdb" with "full build" the IDE multiply prompts for connect. When I enter my credentials the deploy process continues.

To #2:
What a pity!

To #3:
thank you.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Maybe not a solution to the problem, but more as a "workaround":

 

Have you tried to disable the database connection in Tools > System Options? :

Hi Miguel,



yes that works but should be corrected.
