Speaking of added features, if you recall, back in the days of Galleon's QB64 SDL, he had a feature which allowed updates to be installed upon request, without having to reinstall the whole package. It's probably hard to do this again, with so many people contributing to the project, but I still thought I'd ask.
Any way to add that "update" button somewhere in the IDE, for instance?
An update function would be far too complicated compared to the (possible) benefit. The complete new installation is no problem with QB64:
Download: 2 minutes
Move to "Unzip" folder, unzip and move QB64pe to D:\Programs: 2 minutes
Rename the old version to alt-QB64...: 5 seconds
Copy the IDE settings from the old config to the new one: 2 minutes
Create a shortcut of the new QB64pe.exe on the desktop and rename it: 1 minute
Total time (rounded up): 10 minutes maximum. An update doesn't go faster either, and you don't have any problems. I've had enough problems with updates over the years.
