| At last! New BLIde version is finished and I'm looking for beta testers. This time, it is going to be a closed BETA process, so any interested user please, send me an email (email on profile). Just a brief description of the whole thing: BLIde will be able to handle solutions like in visual studio, that is, you will be able to organize your files in a BLIde project in a much more easy and elegant way. Also, there have been some improvements, and the simulation of the MY namespace on BlitzMax, so A LOT of big improvements that have kept me working the last six months. Now is time to beta-test everything. I'm spetially interested on: -Windows XP 32 bits users with some experience using Visual Studio 2005 -Windows XP 64 bits users -Windows Vista users with some experience using Visual Studio 2005 -Windows Vista 64 Bits users -BlitzMax users willing to give it a deep try Obviously all the beta testers will be credited in the BLIde about box... :D just a preview snapshot of this beta version:  |

| Looks cool especially the Solutions-concept is a great addition. |
| ||
| oo...oo...pick me...pick me! I just emailed you. |
| ||
| I've got your email, and I will add you to the beta test process. Still looking for more beta-testers |
| ||
| Sweet news. I just discovered this ide yesterday and I can't express in letters how great it is. My development has sped up significantly already, so I would just like to thank you for saving me unlimited hours. |
| ||
| That are actually great news that I no longer have to jump between source mode and directory mode over and over again and have to remember which media are actually in the project and which not. Depending on the timescale you have for the betatest (I'm currently in exam prep and will have exams till Feb 11 so no time to actively test till then), I would like to participate as well. If it has some "Plus only" features I could test them as well as Plus owner |
| ||
| The beta version is fully working, no plus requierements, but the final version will have some limitations for non blide-plus users, regarding the solution explorer. Any other plus feature works as it was working before. the time scale will depend on the progress of the beta process. I don't want to make the beta testing too quick, but I've been doing a previous alpha-phase in the last month so this beta should be very stable, so I can't tell how long it will be. Anyway, as you are a very experienced user don't hesitate to join the beta team at anytime, you will be welcome. :D |
| ||
| i'm in. several big projects to test it with ;-) |
| ||
| sent ya an e-mail ziggy. really looking forward to testing this out :) |
| ||
| I have been using BLIde for a long time now. I'll test it for you. I'm on Vista business. |
| ||
| Many thanks to all, I'm still looking for some more beta-testers. If anyone of you have sent the email, and has not had any answer, please let me know it here, becouse my anti-spam filter has been doing some strange things. |
| ||
| Hi Ziggy i sent you a mail expressing my interest in the beta programme last night |
| ||
| @MikeT: I've sent you an email to the email in your profile. |
| ||
| is there anything similar to blide on mac os x? |
| ||
| I don't think so, There was a Eclipse plugin in development some years ago, but I think it was stoped. |
| ||
| thats a real shame :( feel a bit left out as a mac user... maybe someone with a good knowledge of eclipse could rustle something up again? or, we could storm the blide offices and force them to port it to mac. just a thought. |
| ||
| maybe textmate would be a logical conclusion? |
| ||
| As mac user you ARE a bit left out as all others are left out by Apple so a fair situation :) |
| ||
| Back on topic, I'm still looking for some more beta-testers. |
| ||
| How's beta testing going, Ziggy? I've been patiently waiting for this new version to go public! :) |
| ||
| there have been a beta release, a first path, and a second one is ready to go at the end of this week. Everything seems good, bet there are some stability issues pending that need to be fixed before going on a stable/production release. Also, there's a lot of documentation pending, so it won't be out inmediatly, hope in some weeks can provide more detailed information. |
| ||
| Hi Ziggy, while I'm at it, could you add an option to clear the console automatically after a Build&Run? Would be cool.. |
| ||
| Cool, I'll add this for you in the next release. |
| ||
| great! many thanks! |
| ||
| ... any chance of integrating a split edit window for one source? It's really cool to be able to edit one part and have a look at some definitions in the same source but at a completely different place... |
| ||
| @Barbapapa: It is already there!!! Click the split button in the upper right corner of your document tab and it'll be splitted. |
| ||
| me idiot! thanks, that's perfect! |
| ||
| nice thigy. ill be using BLide now. anychange of adding a fileselector for :url: 's? have it default to the project path and returning a relative path. That would be easy file picking for project with big file/map structures and lots of files. |
| ||
| I'm not sure what you mean LeeMing |
| ||
| Like LoadImage( *file selector pops up * returns "./images/tiles.png" |
| ||
| Ok I see. It's a good point... |
| ||
| I found some issues. When doing a Replace All, if functions are collapsed, the contents are not replaced. Also im missing the options "replace in document" and "replace in project" Just having the "scope" can even be tricky. Additionaly, when i select a whole line by clicking on the left numbers, and i cut and paste, it leaves the newlinebyte. This is very anoying because i cannot copy and paste rules or even move them without first making room using Enter, and cleaning up the other space using Backspace. Additionaly it would be cool to have a shortcut for commenting and uncommenting entire blocks. This is easy when testing different codes. Other then that im very happy with the software! Its really good and much better then the default IDE |
| ||
| I found another bug. When selecting text the "Len: XX" block in the statusbar is 1 loop behind. Basicl, if i select 4 characters, it may say 3. Then when i select 3 characters, it says 4, then when i select 5 characters, it says 4, etc.. Altough... at somepoint it is as if a timer is trigered, and it gets updated properly. |
| ||
| Yess, thas has something to do with reparsing the document. It is not automatic, it is done in another thread and sometimes it can take a little while to be updated. This is something you may live with, as doing it the other way would mean a big performance hit. |
| ||
| I'd like to test it out Zig. Email in my profile is good. |
| ||
| ziggy can you make it support the axe. libs? it doesnt read the axe.luascript for example. Only the maxgui. |
| ||
| Did you tell it to refresh the mods after you syncmodded? (file menu, refresh definitions on next start) |
| ||
| ok, works. Thanks! |
| ||
| Well, that has been a month of beta testing. Just to mention there are just 3 issues pending on my 'FIX-TO-DO' list, and if everything goes as spected in a few weeks, the production-stable version will be released. Just wanted to say a big public THANKS to all the beta-testers of the BLIde dev team, and invite to anybody else to join the team (email on profile). Next update will be a first RC version. |
| ||
| Cool. Im really looking forward to it! I enjoy Blide very much and it defently increases productivity. |
