Quote:
  • #236, #237, #238, #239, #245 - Several improvements made to the dialog functionality introduced in 3.4.0 - @mkilgore

    • Single and double quotes can now be used in any string provided to a dialog.
    • On Windows, the popup from _NotifyPopup will now be associated with the program using the command.
    • On Windows, _InputBox$ no longer spawns a separate process to display the dialog.
    • Previously some strings passed to the dialog functions were not properly escaped before being passed to the underlying dialog provider, those issues have been fixed.
  • #241 - Fixed bug in PAINT when a border color is not provided - @TheJoyfulProgrammer, @mkilgore

    • The broken syntax was 


      Code: (Select All)
      PAINT (x, y), tileString$
      , where the optional border color was left off.
    • That would fill as though you provided zero as the border color, now it correctly fills any pixels matching the initial color at 


      Code: (Select All)
      (x, y)
      .
  • #247 - The 'Open' dialog in the IDE now makes use of the system provided Open dialog - @SteveMcNeill, @mkilgore

    • This can be toggled off if necessary via the 'GUI Dialogs' option in the 


      Code: (Select All)
      Options
       menu.
    • The old dialogs may be removed in a future version.
  • #243 - The MinGW version on Windows was updated, it now provides gcc 12.2.0 - @a740g


New File Open Dialog!   YAY!!
Newest MinGW Compiler!  YAY!!
Bug Fixes!  YAY!!

Wow that old Paint bug finally fixed, I had forgotten all about it.

Great work guys!

Everything works as usual. Good work!

There is only one trifle that has existed since version 3.X; at least for me. When one call up the IDE, a narrow gap remains at the bottom, but it disappears when one click on the small square at the top right. A trifle, but I wanted to mention it.

Congratulations to the design team your work is most appreciated.

The new integrated dialogs  are a welcome addition.
In particular the new input dialog (_InputBox$) is a long overdue feature.
A considerable design effort by @mkilgore has turned this into an excellent input box for QB64phoenix.

Useless warnings (in purple my fave color!) but it would be nice to inform the original author of the "tinyfiledialogs". Just compiled QB64PE v3.4.1 on Spiral Linux (Debian clone).

Windows open file dialog, best change.  Inputbox not spawned (does not need task manager).  Easier to close program on crash, another plus!!

Phoenix edition has re-spawned, with high energy.

I see you've got a variation of your X-23 profile pic back. Nice!

Looks like the Open Dialog always starts where you last opened a file.

Is there a way to start in a set Folder? My Shortcut Properties Startup Folder no longer works.

@bplus
That's the way that the open file dialog works in Windows. Nothing you can do to change that. Your shortcut is still working in the sense that the working directory is set but the open dialog doesn't respect any of that. That's just how it all works.

RE: QB64 Phoenix Edition 3.4.1 Released - bplus - 11-17-2022

Thanks Spriggsy, I'll cross it off my list of things to do with a new version update.

Is there a way to automate resetting Windows registry to open .bas files with newest QB64pe.exe?
That's the one most tricky and Windows is making it harder with each new version of itself.
