Vector Curve Designer for PureBasic

netmaestro · **Posted:** Mon May 25, 2020 2:37 am

Code and info for this tool may be found here: https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=75326

Here is the download for the beta 1.0 version: https://lloydsplace.com/CurveDesigner.zip

What it is:

It's a tool that provides WYSIWYG control of PureBasic's AddPathCurve command. You can load an image, trace its curves and copy/paste the generated code (all platforms) or use as an external tool and deposit the code directly in the IDE (Windows only for now).

If this tool is of interest to you, try it out and put it through its paces. If you find any bugs, report them here.

Have fun with it and I hope it saves a lot of hard work, as AddPathCurve can be pretty daunting without something like this.

Found a bug and fixed it, download file is updated. Current version identifies as Beta 1.01. Code in T&T is updated too.

Windows says:
Detected Trojan:win32/Ludicrouz.B

Again and again the same probleme with most PB codes :cry:

It's the code posted in T&T compiled with PB 5.72 x86 for Windows. Nothing more or less, just the posted code. Pretty sure I didn't write any trojans in it.

I know

but false positives are common on PB executables. it's a really bad thing if we have to send the code to clients :cry:

100+ downloads, no bugs reported. Released for version 1.0.

Very nice tool! My only suggestion: have a keyboard shortcut for the "Commit This Curve" button, because I don't like moving my mouse left and right between panels to do it. I'd rather keep clicking in the design panel (with my right hand) and then press a key when required to commit it (using my left hand). Other than that, it's excellent!

Thanks for sharing this useful program and it's source code.

In which situation and to whom does this happen? I use PB for 30+ different projects which are naturally all "unknown" as they keep getting changed and I keep my KIS AV and windows always up to date and dont have these problems. Have you verified that it isnt something on your development machine which creates the problem?

Have you not seen the various discussions about false positives with PureBasics in this forum? Here's a few links:

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69166
viewtopic.php?f=17&t=74013
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74182

Our PCs are NOT infected; I've done clean installs of Windows to test.

This link shows why my own apps are getting flagged (nothing to do with an infection):

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74275

It's a sad situation.

Compile a simple console app which just outputs "hello world". Does that get a false positive?

It sure does (3 malware flags) -> https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e78 ... /detection

Here's all it consists of:

Code:

OpenConsole()
Print("hello world")
Input()

But all this has been discussed in the other links I posted, so we really shouldn't drag it into this thread.

May I ask my fellow members a favor? When someone posts something on the Announcement boards, could you refrain from posting a lot of stuff about false positives? Almost every offering here is plagued with this completely off-topic subject. You want to say something about it? Post a link to the Announcement post and tell fred about it in the Bugs section.

Thanks for listening,

Lloyd
