ZBasic Forum

There is a very convenient command "Compile and Run" in BasicX IDE. The command compiles the project and if there is no errors it downloads the new code. This feature is missing in the ZBasic IDE. You always have to do it in two steps: "Compile" and then "Go". Is there any reason why this feature was not implemented?

BTW for me "Go" command intuitively has the same meaning as "Compile and Download". May be it is a good idea to keep the name of the command, and just add the new functionality?

Thanks!

Is there any reason why [a combined compile and download] was not implemented?

No. It could be added, perhaps as a configurable option.

This functionality has been implemented in the internal development version. The "build before downloading" action is a configurable option but is on by default.

I am looking forward to see it in the production version soon!
