My question is : how can i see the .asm files that are generated i supose there has to be set a switch or so but i dont know where.

If you are using HIDE 1.25.xx, there are a couple things you need to do:

go to options menu HIDE Settings, check "Use External FASM" and "Keep Temp Files"

From now on, if you have a Temp folder in your project, the asm files will be saved there, if you are not using a project, or are not using a Temp folder in your project, they will be in HIDE\Temp.

Thanks Sevag,

It works.
Is it normal that you can't see the \temp folder in the Project tab in HIDE 1.25.00 ?

Yes, it's normal.  HIDE doesn't have code to consider the temp folder.  It could get messy in there since backup files are also stored in the temp folder unless the project uses a "Bak" folder.

If you believe this is an important feature, I could add it to my todo list.

Sevag,

Its not essential, i can look at it with an editor this is not a real problem.
But its always easy you can see it in the IDE, you don't have to open another program. I always like to use a minimum different programs the same time.

Maybe its possible to make the Help menu configurable. In the .ini file a heading where the user could place the paths to help files he want to see in the help menu.

For the rest the current version of HIDE is  :Uvery good a no problem install and very easy to use.

Thanks for the comment.

Have you looked up the documentation on the User Menu?  If this is not what you have in mind, please give me an example of what you want the user menu to do, it shouldn't be too hard to improve its functionality.

Sevag,

Yes the user menu is what i was thinking about.

Iam trying to configurate the user menu but is seems not to work.
Ok what did i do : I put in userpath in option set paths "C:\HIDE\Documents\" in the user paths
In C:\hide\documents\ i put a file ( to test ) named  calc.exe
In the Hide.ini file i put
[User Menu]
calc,calc.exe

The message i get is "Could not execute file" because he can't find it

I tried
[User Menu]
calc,C:\HIDE\Documents\calc.exe

The message i get is "Could not execute file" because he can't find it.

Do i do something wrong ?

No, you found a bug.  Somewhere along the line, one of the updates broke the user menu.

The attached file fixes that problem.

Sevag,

I get the same error message.
I did the same as in the previous mail.

Regards

Patrick

[Sevag.K]

Yes, sorry.  I fixed it but uploaded the unfixed version!

Try the new one, I edited the post.

[stapper]

Kevag,

This works with .exe files.
Is it possible to let it works for pdf,chm or other helpfile extentions.

Regards

Patrick

[Sevag.K]

I'll consider options for expanding this feature.

Sevag,

Perhaps you can have HIDE use the associated program for those file types.
I.E. for pdf's it will call what ever app is assigned to handle it (Like FoxIt or Adobe reader, whatever the OS has assigned).

[Sevag.K]

Good idea.  I'll put this on the todo list for v1.26.00 which should arrive shortly after release of HLA 1.97

HIDE 1.25.22 for testing

New: extended User Menu - now checks for file extension and launches proper program.
Also added '<' and '>' flags to open files with HIDE instead of launching another program.
'<' opens regular files, '>' opens as HEX.

Eg:

[User Menu]
myHelp,"c:\my documents\myHelp.pdf"

- opens "c:\my documents\myHelp.pdf" with default pdf viewer.

[User Menu]
HIDE.ini,<%h\Data\HIDE.ini

- Opens HIDE\Data\HIDE.ini in a HIDE tab.

[User Menu]
HIDE.ini,>%h\Data\HIDE.ini

- Opens HIDE\Data\HIDE.ini in a HIDE tab as HEX.

The '<' and '>' options must be placed right before the filename.

Let me know if there are problems loading some file types.
