IDE suggestion
#1
Not sure where a good place to suggest ideas for improving QB64's IDE so I am dropping it here. I'd be happy to do it right next time, if this isn't, if someone kindly points me to the right place.

Anyways, my idea is having a way to mark functions and subs in the SUBs menu (you know the one you get with F2). Be useful to mark complete, in-progress, or place holder and sort by such a flag. Just my two cents.

Most of that thread for starters. Other people are asking the same thing you are.

For me, I've used a simple little prefix system for stuff like this before.

SUB C_PrintOut
SUB IC_Locate
SUB NR_FileSave

The C_ is COMPLETE, IC_ is INCOMPLETE, NR_ is NEEDS REVISION, and so on.  Then, just using the Search and Replace function, it's easy enough to change the name programwide from IC_Locate to C_Locate (or whatnot) as needed.  Wink

As for sorting, just click the "Sort Sub/Function by name" option, and that'd easily show you what's finished, unfinished, and needs rework.

A simple, and effective solution, as always.

I always do something similar, except with v1, v2, etc. Reason being, "complete" is rarely actually "complete" for me lol.
