Important Bug fix!!!

Under some circumstances, files were being saved under the wrong name when being uploaded.

The syntax files and help files are also updated.

Available form the usual place.

Do you have a Linux version editor?

MMEdit works well with Wine.

I have too much trouble keeping up with all the different versions of Linux and don't use a Linux GUI so not able to support it.

So no, not in the foreseeable future.

Hi Jim,

Since updating to the latest version I cannot run a program in DOS/Windows MMBasic and can't find a way to tell it where MMBasic is? It didn't ask for the location.

Thanks
Bill

Hold "shift" while clicking on "run in DOS" button should bring up the file selector dialog.

Message to ALL:

I found another bug I introduced with the change to sending files under their own name.
It stuffed up the "Save" button.
Please download again.

Hello,

I use MMedit with Wine on my Mac.

- XQuartz-2.7.11
- winhq-staging-5.7
- MMedit-4.12 portable.

to use the serial port, I did:

cd $HOME/.wine/dosdevices
ln -s /dev/tty.usbmodem143201 com3

in MMedit: connect -> new -> serial ports -> find -> choose com3/115200

I found two strange effects:

When I start with "wine MMedit.exe", the program loads MMedit.exe as source. Might be a wine thing. I never faced this issue with my VM windows.
But another thing is annoying.
The communication with the CMM2 works fine with MM-chat. I can run commands and have the result. perfect.
But the file manager caused the program to hang completely.
The right Maximite window says 'working..'. On the CMM2 I see "LIST FILES" executed.
It seems, the machine's feedback is not recognized.

Nevertheless, I like the editor and changing the SD card between MAC & CMM2 is my current workflow.

Enjoy,
Stefan.

Hi Jim,
The red (arrow)button, Go to Error in the terminal is gone. Should it be available for the Micromites.

Hi Jim,

I'm using MMEdit with DOS MMBasic and it seems to be saving to a temp.bas file only and not to the original file. The original file is untouched from yesterday.

I am using the latest version (I think).

Bill

Edit: If I load the temp.bas file and run it, the temp file is updated when this happens.

BUT if if I run the original (old) version then the temp.bas file is overwritten and the earlier version is lost. I was confused because work I had done last night seemed lost but I realized too late that it was there in the temp.bas file.

BEWARE BEWARE

2ND Edit: It's not actually saving the original at all when you click on the 'save' button. Only the temp.bas file when it is run. You can 'save as' the same file name and it will overwrite and save the orignal though.

MMEdit has always created 'temp.bas' to 'run in Dos'.

There was a brief period when MMEdit was not saving correctly. It tried to save without the full path specified so Windows did what it thought best.

That version was only up for a short period but it sounds like you may have it.
Check the build date in 'About' or the configuration report. The date and time,not just the version.

It should be:

Quote MM Edit Version: V 4.1.2 20201119065223
Build Date: 19-Nov-2020 06:52:23 UTC

If that's not the problem, I need a copy of your configuration report to look further.

Hi Jim,

Another little query on MMEdit. When I load a file downloaded from TBS then try to close it, it comes up with the message saying that the file has changed (it hasn't - well not by me) and do I want to save it.

Is it OK to save it? I don't know what it thinks has changed.

Bill

Is it all files or just some?

One possibility is the line endings. MMEdit will change that to CRLF and you won't see any change visually. NC.BAS uses LF for line endings. I haven't checked others.

Similar with TAB characters. They will get expanded to SPACE.
