IDE Project>Open does not produce dialogue

Post by FFMan »

I installed the IDE (1.62) on my win 7 64 bit machine and when I click project>open the open dialogue does not appear. If i open the project by double-clicking the project file the ide opens the project just fine.

I then tried this at home (win7 32bit) and I thought I saw similar behaviour but it was late and my memory is a little fuzzy on that one.

Is this a known issue, or am i th eonly one seeing it ?

I also can't use the options>device options>edit target list dialogue to add or remove items

When I highlight a processor to add/remove it from the list and then click the arrow button nothing happens. The arrow greys out but that is all.

I tried to add option targetdevice "ZX128a1" as workaround but get compiler error 'unregnised target device name'.Maybe this is related.

The version number that you've given is that of SciTE, the open source editor on which the IDE is based. The ZBasic IDE version number is something like v1.5.x. The problem you described is believed to have been fixed in v1.5.7. See the Recent Changes file for more details.

You can download the most recent IDE using the link below. Extract the .exe file from the archive to the IDE subdirectory of the ZBasic installation directory.

This issue was corrected in v1.5.9. See the Recent Changes file for more details.

It seems this old issue is back. I am using IDE 1.6.5 on Win 7 pro 64 bit.

When I start IDE and click Project -> Open nothing happens. However If I do File -> Open first then try Project -> Open then everything works just fine until I close IDE.

We still haven't discovered why it happens or why using File|Open first seems to resolve it. It is still on the list of things to do.
