Combining Programs - james2464 - 11-08-2022

I'm wondering how others do this....If you want to combine two or more programs together, how do you go about it?

For example if you have the IDE running but you want to copy a bunch of code from another program into it....do you use something like Notepad to have the other program open?   I don't know of any way to open the IDE twice so I thought I'd ask here what others might do.

You can open 2 IDEs at once and in fact you can give them different sizes and color options to tell which is which.

If you have .bas registered with Windows to call up QB64pe latest version you can use File Explorer and click on any bas file.

One of first things I do with new version of QB64pe (and I've been getting lots of practice!) is setup a shortcut to the exe on my desktop and then pin to taskbar and Start menu. (After set path to my QB Files in the shortcut Properties).
   
Thanks Spriggsy for tip!

So then you can click taskbar, and another click from Start menu and have 2 going at once.

Well first, I light some candles to set the mood...

Okay, so Mark already covered it, but in the future, you can just use my Sam-Clip app.

Thanks, I'm glad to know I can get two IDE's going at the same time. Much appreciated!

BY the way, since I have latest QB64pe v 3.4 in Downloads, Windows has been notifying me of security checks every time I run an outside program! Annoying!

So much for dreaming you only did that for me. Bubble bursted ...

Yeah, I couldn't pass that up.

You must be confusing my forum persona here with online my pod cast where I go by the nick, i-Candy.

It's very simple: click on the appropriate file with Explorer. So you can two, three . . . Open IDE. However, only the first IDE shows the special settings (colors).

I just have one desktop icon. Every time you click it, it makes a new instance of the QB64PE IDE.
