Heya, I've found some strange 'issues' with Axepad on Mac OS X 10.6 (snow leopard). Latest revision, coding for 28X2
copying & pasting seems to screw up code. it looks like it adds text between characters/commands, but keeps them hidden. So it seems like its copy & pasted correctly, except when you go to edit or delete it. Then you start deleting these 'hidden' sections.
Sometimes it also doesn't past code correctly. I guess this is part of the hiding thing, in that characters will disappear, replaced by spaces (or maybe hidden characters)
Also, I can't seem to get gosubs to work. I have a program that compiles with no issues at all. I add in a gosub command, and the compiler complains about the first line of text in the editor. I remove the gosub command, and it works fine.
Finally, when I started coding for an X2, just writing some basic code. The compiler threw up all sorts of editors for things that would normally (i mean on a pc) work. So I ran the 'Convert for x2' wizard, it didn't change anything in the code (as far as I could see), and it started being able to compile it.
I am a bit rusty at picaxe programming, and its my first time coding them on a mac, so mayb I'm doing something wrong.
Any help or advice?
Cheers
Andrew
