I have just installed mmeditv5. It is different to v4.xx. Maximite control centre is new. First effort without how to set up connect and then notice the mmcc icon. Set it up and it works. Click icon furthest right to save run. v5 saves/runs faster than v4.   |

I've been on version 4 for ages now, but this thread prompted me to move up to V5. Very nice, as I have come to expect from Jim's MMEDIT IDE at this point.  With Picomite syntax, the keyword TILE is not coloured in blue as I would expect. Do I need to do something at my end? EDIT: PicoMite VGA, but you probably have worked that out by now...

Sorry Grogster, I haven't got around to going through the picomite keyword list yet. There are a couple of rainy days forecast for later in the week so maybe by the weekend if I don't have a meltdown. There will be one file for both picomites. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

How do I get multiple editors in V5 like I can in V4 please? V5 is same as V4 ie. short cut icon and pasted to control bar. V4 click icon on controlbar to open mmedit then resize. Then click screen shortcut icon to open extra mmedits that I can copy and paste to from. V5 same method does not work.  |

Please don't apologize. So long as I know it is not something at my end, I will leave it to you to deal with when you want to. @ stanleyella: In the new version, all open codes are in the ONE window, but different tabs, so click the tab for the code you want to work on.  In this one, I have tow codes open - one called "start 61", and the other called "018" Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Hi, interesting to see that someone could install it under Windows! Today I tried MMEdit V5. I could install it on Linux Mint 21 Vanessa 64-bit and it seems to work (after installing some additional qt5 libraries). Its possible to transfer files back & forth - very good and elegant.  Later I tried to install the 64Bit version on Windows 10 and got this:  So Windows does not trust the installer. Even after generating an exception under security -> ransomware protection for the installer it was not possible to install it under Windows :-/ I have a question in regard of the linux version. I see no content on the right side of the Maximite File Commander Window neither when selecting SDCard nor Memory. Is that correct? How can I see the Maximite Files on the CMM2 when using the File Commander? -andreas Edited 2022-09-07 20:12 by andreas |

I had noticed that Windows 10 complains on installation... I think you have to pay Microsoft to make that message go away. (Wild Guess, since the issue is that it is not a "Recognized Application in Windows Defender".) Solution: 1) Right-click on the MMEDIT5 installer file you downloaded. 2) Select Properties. 3) Make sure you are in the General tab. 4) Press the Unblock button. 5) Click Apply/OK and exit. The file will now be unblocked in Defender and now you will only get the UAC Approval message when installing. Edited 2022-09-07 20:50 by pwillard |

Downloading under windows. Click on "further information" or similar and select "download anyway" The message will go away if a few hundred users download it. Until the next update... For the file manager to work, make sure that you have selected cmm2 in the device family. If that doesn't work, there must be a bug that snuck in. I have already fixed it while doing some further work and thought the fix was in the last upload. Next upload with the fix definitely there will be a day or two. VK7JH MMedit |

Hello Jim, may be you can look at this also? I see double menu entries in the file menu:  -andreas |

It is like that for software that has not paid microsoft for "a key". Gcbasic is the same. Defender blocks it and it is up to the users discretion to "download anyway". |

Thanks. I noticed the multiple tabs but it is not multiple editors on screen at the same time but it would work for copy/paste from one prog to another. I just liked multiple editors if I wanted. |

I could create a digitally signed installer but Windows Defender/your AV will still not be happy with an unknown file. Window will also ask about network access when you first run it because I use TCPIP to do some communications. (Most of my micromites are accessed through the network.) The program does NOT call home at any time. @andreas Thanks for noticing the doubled up menu. I missed that when I added another item to the menu. I do have an excuse - my fingers don't always do what my brain thinks they are doing. That is not a joke. My neurologist tried a change of medication 2 weeks ago and I didn't respond very well and had to give up. Yesterday she decided to add yet another medication to the list so we will see how that goes. Anything that messes with the brain is not much fun. I can't understand why anyone would take drugs as recreation. Anyway, The double menu items have been fixed and also the cmm2 file manager should work for you. I am still working on the MMCC file transfers by putting those routines into their own thread so Windows doesn't think the program has locked up. The two exes in the attached ZIP are the 64bit versions and just copy them into your program folder. MMedit5.zip There will be a proper update soon. I notice your code comments are in German. The editor is happy with Unicode but any non ASCII characters get removed during file uploads. I think I also remove the extended characters when saving. I will have to check. I was thinking of an external program that scans the code and translates any comments. That will have to wait until I settle the main program down. Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Hi Jim, Just updated to this version. It does not automatically run when loaded using existing setup. This is External VT Helper mode, have not tested VT Terminal Mode. Is there a parameter to add or is this a by product of the recent change. Regards Gerry Latest F4 Latest H7 FotS |

My fault for posting changes without checking. Try again with the attached exe files. MMedit5.zip Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Hello Jim, I just tried the "Save as RTF" menu item in the file menu. After typing in the file name in the file dialog the program crashes. I tried it using the linux version V5.0.0 Build date: 2022/09/08 04:14:00 In Program menu the "Save KEYWORD case" item crashes the program. I know printing is not a good habit to save natural resources but it seems to be a good way to quit the program quickly ;) -andreas Edited 2022-09-09 00:54 by andreas |

Hello Jim, I don't know how you manage to print in MMEdit to a linux default printer. I had the same problem in a software I wrote in a different BASIC dialect called Gambas. I did it this way (task was to print the program listing to a printer): Public Sub PrintProgram() Dim cmd As String Dim program As String program = GetProgramForPrinting() If program <> "" Then cmd = "echo \" " & program & " \" | lpr " Try Shell cmd Endif End so I constructed a shell command line : echo "<...programlisting...>" | lpr and executed this by the Gambas-command Shell. This is quite easy if one does not know the details of the system where it is running on as long as the system supports a 'lpr' command. -andreas |
