Re: Open file location

i do not think nohup is what you want. I just tried this and it worked... Public Sub OpenNemo(sSelectFile As String) Shell "nemo " & Shell(sSelectFile) & "&" End Placing a & at the end of the command seemed to free the child from the parent. It was not possible to...

Re: Linux Mint Users - Upgrade to 21.1 Vera - FYI

Greetings all - For any Mint users. The only issue I experienced was that collapsing of code in the editor did not work, but this has been an ongoing and intermittent issue so expect it will resolve itself in due course. Have you tried using the IDE the old way? (using QT instead of gtk3) , it migh...

Re: Linux Mint Users - Upgrade to 21.1 Vera - FYI

Cheers for the info.

I upgraded 2 of my machines a little while ago but I do not use the apt gambas I compile and had no gambas issues at all.

Re: fedora repo

I love that you have the same sense of humor. The links only tell me how to add repos not how to put our gambas software into a repo for public download. Sort of not quite on target. But thanks for the advise I will get more chickens to sacrifice, worst case is a lot of eggs or a great bbq. But how...

Re: fedora repo

I work mostly in Fedora so I am wondering if anybody can help with getting some of my projects added to a repo. I have looked it up and I think I stopped at the point where I have to sacrifice a live chicken at midnight during a full moon. I am looking for something simple. If your process takes mo...

Cool idea for object New initialization defaults

I just had a cool idea that i thought was worth sharing for when creating a new object instance. I added this for my _new() method... Public Sub _new(Optional Init As Collection) If Init Then For Each sVar As Variant In Init Object.SetProperty(Me, Init.Key, sVar) Next Endif End the class in question...

Re: color button to rgb

Re: color button to rgb

There's a few ways i think. I do not know the best way. Here's a function that returns [r,g,b,a] values from a color It uses Color.ToHTML() to get a Hex value then converts it. (EDIT: updated to handle alpha) Public Sub GetRGB(Colour As Integer) As Float[] Dim R, G, B, A As Float Dim sChar As String...

Re: A Gambas Compiler

Sounds like you are using Dev branch , problems are expected on dev branch , that's what it's for , Ben or someone else adds stuff , we test it, and then we report problems. The sorts of problems you are talking about are rare if you stick with stable branch. The rollercoaster of instability you mak...
