Here is my checklist, to which I add some other item every new version it seems:
Code: (Select All)
Downloaded
Extract to Desktop to avoid notifications
add files to QB64.exe folder from QB Files - might just need Direntry.h for old files, Falcon.h for sure
test new download IDE
set Multi Highlite off Options > IDE Colors DIALOG
set comments color to 0,180,120 in default IDE display theme
set Run > * Output .Exe to Source folder
set Dialog Load File BULLET off so can start in Short cuts directory OPTIONS > LAST ITEM
use Camoflage for 2nd screen
large print options > display [x] use monospace lucon.ttf 18 pixels width 116, height 39
Windows stuff:
Shortcut to new exe
Shortcut properties > startup = QB Files (full path)
REMOVE OLD VERSION SHORTCUTS
Pin to startup and taskbar
get bas assoc to new exe
rename old VERSION with old to disable last assoc
pick a bas and Open With...
check box always open with
browse other apps to new the new QB64.exe and use!
remove old from old version name once new assoc works
