Impossible to download a correct version of the newest FineLineIde. In fact the Zip is corrupted and cannot be decompressed.
Could you please help.

[SagemFree]

Thank you. In fact and always i tried on an other computer i encountered the same problem( file corrupted wrong CRC..). I could obtain same in downloading the file "FineLineIDE.php?action=download1" which is the short cut for download with the help of a downloader, i renamed it in . rar and finally obtained the good file. What is the mystery??
Anyhow thank you again.

Hi Norm,

Is FineLineIDE still alive?

Hi Norm,

Is FineLineIDE still alive?

FineLine IDE is undergoing a rewrite as time permits.
No ETA.

Norm

[mackrackit]

Cool !!
Is the last version still available? I seem to have misplaced it.

The hosting site is apparently down.
Try FineLineIDE.
Unzip and change .abc to .exe

The new FineLineIDE v3.0 is now available!
A rewrite for reliability, Bookmarks and Unused.
Less code collapse as it doubled the size and complexity of the program.

Norm

[mackrackit]

Thanks Norm!!!

Question, what does
"Did Not Find New .bas File. Aborting"
message mean when I try to compile?

Hi Norm,

Thanks for the new version of FineLineIDE. I was trying it when I noticed something strange. Only part of code was visible in FineLineIDE and after debugging reason was Scandinavian letter in comment line. There is something weird happening if code have one or more of these letters: Ä,Ö,Å or ä,ö,å.

Also, I had difficulties to set PicBasicPro Compiler in Options menu. I fix this, by manually editing FineLineIDE.ini file. After manual modification to ini-file, file compiled OK.

Gusse I PM you a beta 3.01 to test retaining non English text.

Hi Norm,

I think I found the problem. I am running windows in a VirtualBox but the files are stored on the host OS. I tried putting the file in the windows environment and the error went away.

If it is any help, the machine I tried this on has openSUSE as the host and Windows7 as the guest.

Hi Norm, first, a big thank you for the wonderful tool.

I use it as my default IDE, but go over to the 'other' IDE every time I need to use the ICD.

I believe you had released a plugin for Proton to be able to compile for ICD; is there a chance a similar feature would be available for PBP?

Thanks again.

Glad to see your making good use of FL!
It wasn't me who made the ICD plugin for Proton.
There are no plans to add one to FL as time doesn't permit.
FL does include a "Compile and MPLAB sim" button to help load for sim in MPLAB however.
Else continue to use the "Open in Orig IDE" to sim in Microcode Studio as needed.


Norm

[ardhuru]

Oh okay, thanks for the prompt response.

[Normnet]

FineLineIDE v3.2 is now available.

FL v3.1 changes FL's method of opening files as some users files didn't fully open.
FL v3.2 replaces non English text with spaces on open, paste and save.
The non English text was causing FL to freeze as FL does not support UNICODE.


Norm

[Normnet]

FineLineIDE v3.3 is now available.

v3.3 has a low profile toolbar with selectable large or small icons and view or hide individual icons.
Should benefit laptops or smaller screens.

The link takes you to the FineLine page but I cannot download the program. Anyone else having issues?

[mackrackit]

Worked fine here. Took me to this page
https://app.box.com/s/f1e9ab3i4vgres9nhdh3fahdumtq5jto

I downloaded but have not had time to use it yet.

Its a little misleading about not previewing a zip file but it should download.

I can't find the 16F690 device in the list. Is it my eyes?

On the other hand, I didn't find any clue about how to create new devices, if needed of course.

Is this possible?

Hi All

Has anyone got V3.3 running on windows 10?. I can set PBP3 path etc in options but it forgets it after selection.
Cheers Pete

Quick question: Did you check the box for the PBP3 path as in some cases there are multiple versions and click OK to close options?

Norm

[enigma]

Hi Norm

Yes, I tried both adding it manually and also ticking the box when its automatically found. It does the same thing with the compiler too. I did add it manually to the ini file and that worked. I`ve not done that yet for the compiler as I'd like to see why its happening.

What directory is FineLineIDE.exe located?
It may be a Windows protected directory which wont allow changes to the ini file.
Try a new location even a folder on the desktop should work.

Hi Norm

Tried it root C: Program files, desktop even via dropbox. I can find and select for example the compiler, click OK then if I try to select a PIC from the dropdown I get "Find PBPx.EXE in Options". If I go back in the selection has gone. I`m wondering if its Windows 10 specific. Cheers Pete

I see Windows 10 is still a free upgrade so I will see how it goes.
Meanwhile perhaps you could try a new FL download in case the ini portion became corrupted.

Norm

[Normnet]

I just now downloaded FL 3.3 onto a Windows 10 machine and it compiles OK and closes and reopens and compiles again.
On compile FL does prompt to switch from PBP3 to prePBP3 when needed and if so you will need to find the other compiler in options but just once for each.

Not likely but I wonder if administrative privileges are required for an ini save?

Norm

[enigma]

Hi Norm
I`m wondering if its permissions. If I edit the ini file manually and add in the paths its OK, it just wont select and add from the program. Long shot but have you a debug version which will log what's happening so I could provide you with some solid data. Cheers Pete

Hi Norm.
I just gave 3,76 version a test drive, but I can't seem to be able to select a device. The device drop down menu does not show any chip not can I write any device there.

Then after trying to insert my chip in that window, it crashed. I have a crash report if you want me to send you.

Be sure the PBP compiler is located in options > PicBasicPro Compiler as FL searches for devices within that directory.

I will add a message for instances when FL doesn't find the devices to prompt for locating the compiler. Also if a device is entered to take some safeguards.
