ReCompile option

[Haakon Birkeland]

We can hide the compiler dialog when using build and execute (F5), but not when only compiling (CTRL+F5). Maybe they should be treated equally, or seperately have the same option(s)?!

Btw: The wording maybe should have been more consistant in the menu. I would go for Compile and Compile and execute, as most (all) of us have the best compiler running under the hood. - and are proud of it..   :lol:

Just a second thought about the compilation subject;
How about putting fx. the compile time, and the numeral tech-specs in a floating window (non-modal anyway) instead of the usual MsgBox? And maybe store the last (or more) values in a file, so that the dialog can point out comparable improvements or worsening results. That should make bloat-hunters quite pleased with themselves, - and FF..

The only reason that I added that option in the first place was because it seemed redundant to display the message and then run the EXE. If the EXE runs, then obviously the EXE was compiled. If you are simply compiling and not running then there is no cue at all that the compile was successful other than the message box. If the message box was disabled then you would be left wondering "did it compile??".

That's a fair statement. I think that the only reason I chose the labels that I did was because those were the terms used in Visual Basic.

Would it be difficult to sort out from the compiler "stats" if the compilation went well or not. Hey,.. - do I rememer wrong when I say that PB generates the file you are serving us, only if the compilation went well?

It is not difficult. FireFly already parses the PB compiler log file in order to determine if an error occurs. The PB compiler log file is produced for both a good and bad compile.
