I think you should provide a (in a way) working example, then it would be easier to help.

Recently when I wanted to report a bug that wasn't a bug at all I tried CanonizePath() as workaround. I left it in the script, because I assumed that I had with it a solution that would work everywhere. But when I started the program on Windows from a network path, it didn't work properly. The path ...

Seems your display 2 is too small. With Width=130 it works. But I don't have an explanation.

dont forget strings terminated with a 0 :) This is Hollywood, not C :) . In Hollywood strings can contain binary data, this would not be possible with zero terminated strings. From the manual: "In many programming languages a zero character defines the end of the string. Not so in Hollywood. H...

No, sorry, I could have thought of that myself. Thanks!

You should not poll the mouse button because there may be parts of the program that take more time than the mouse button is pressed. The appropriate way is the event library. Replace the If IsLeftMouse() part with an event initialization before entering the main loop. And you need a WaitEvent() or C...

Run() and Execute() do not work on Linux and Mac when used with relative paths. I don't seem to be the first one who had trouble with this. There is no error message either.
The problem can be avoided by executing a CanonizePath() on the argument file$

I accidentally set a variable to True in certain situations, which should be displayed later using GetErrorName().
So I noticed that GetErrorName() causes a memory access violation when it is called with positive values.

Therefore a wish: Make "OnMouseUp" actually trigger when it is done above the button, no matter how it got there. This would break a lot of Hollywood programs. At best, a new function would be acceptable. But I'm answering because I don't like the example. You delete and draw with 40Hz bo...
