Yes it does appear that Apple have decided that there are 1000 bytes in a kilobyte etc.

So 50 years of learning that there are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte all for nothing.

Apple cheating me out of 2.5% of storage space?

Seems to be same problem. Maybe a little confused. I have a file on my hard drive which in finder is shown with a size of 16,3MB. When I use FileSize() on the file it returns 16295002 which I assume are bytes Now I thought that there are 1048576 bytes in a mega byte so in 16,3MB should there not be ...

I have found that #PS$ returns "\" on windows and "/" on the Mac which seems to be correct.

Can anyone explain the use of #NPS$ it is the N which is getting me.

Is it possible to clear an image to transparent using the vector drawing commands? I start with a transparent image add a box then try to clear the image but the box remains. the code I am using: StartVectorDrawing(ImageVectorOutput(DrawImg)) VectorSourceColor(RGBA(255,255,255,0)) FillVectorOutput()...

When you something which just cannot be expressed as a linear or exponential function such as in your case the way to go is to use a lookup table. For example Your value Gauge Value 0 0 0.1 50 1 100 10 150 100 200 500 250 1000 300 You can keep adding pairs of values up to the gauge limit of 300 for ...

As a small example to display % First a small procedure to change your % value to 0-300 Procedure.i DisplayPercent(Value.i) Define Result.f Result = (Value/100) * 300 ProcedureReturn Result EndProcedure Then in the event loop add this If Event = #PB_Event_Timer And EventTimer() = 123 If iLoop > -1 D...

Just rescued some code. Draws a circular gauge with pointer first up to maximum (300) then back to zero Any use? Global Pathx,Pathy Global Reverse.i Procedure DrawGauge(Value.i) Define EndAngle.i EndAngle = 120 + Value If EndAngle > 360 EndAngle = EndAngle - 360 EndIf If StartVectorDrawing(CanvasVec...

Long time to wait for a reply but just in case any other novices end up here as I did check out this thread. https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=566557&hilit=playlists#p566557 M3U are a list of file names so read them find the files and play as normal. the routines from kenmo work w...

Yes read that and the M1 chip does report as a 64bit when you use. CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Processor = #PB_Processor_Arm64 ; not #PB_Processor_x64 Debug "Arm 64" CompilerElse Debug "Not ARM64" CompilerEndIf This bit of code selects some assembler code but even selecting the corre...

Just trying a few more things and used this code Debug SizeOf(Integer) If #PB_Compiler_Processor = #PB_Processor_x64 Debug "X64" Else Debug "X32" EndIf This returns 8 for the integer size indicating a 64bit processor? but the compiler directive reports 32bit I am on an iMac 24 , ...

Just moving some code from an earlier MAC to the new M1 Code compiles perfectly and runs on the earlier machine (PB 5.72LTS) but I get this error when using PB 6LTS for the MAC M1. error: invalid preprocessing directive #Slices = SizeOf(Integer); Use 8 slices on x64 and 4 on x86 ^ purebasic.c:5899:3...

I do not know if this will help. I did some Autocad work many years ago, mainly electric control panel design which broke down into a list of standard blocks, about 200 of them. After a lot of messing around I used the Autocad DXF format just a straight forward text file. I first created the blocks ...

Hi One of the big bottlenecks is getting data into into a meaningful table that can be indexed. May I try to give a little explanation? With a recipe database I can start with just two tables. Recipes Recipe_ID plus other details of the recipe without ingredients. Ingredients Ingredient_ID plus any ...

Maybe I am missing the point but I use PB to create the menus etc including adding new titles and or sub items. Using a procedure to create the menu each time. I normally store the menu items I want in a structured list. Hope this helps. Tested on Mac with M1 chip running Bigsur and latest PB versio...

I only saw it as I was looking for my effort for music album thumbnails from a database.
