Hello, I already opened a topic related to, what I now consider as a bug. The basic: PSPad 5 doesn't handle BAT files well. To rule out that the error was mine, I started with a PSPad 5 as extracted from the ZIP file. Then I loaded one of my ASM files. In the "Highlighters Settings" I unselected everything except "x86 Assembly". In "Compiler" I filled in "mp.bat" and "%Name% %File%" in "Parameters". The BAT file only contains one line: "echo ---- %1 --- %2 ----"
After restarting PSPad I pressed <CTRL>+F9 and.... saw nothing. But I had the idea that something was done. To be sure I added the line "pause" so the BAT file would halt until a key was pressed. Pressed <CTRL>+F9 again and.... a nice turning blue circle and nothing else. I opened the Task Manager and saw that a DOS box was active except it wasn't visible. The version I'm using right now is 5.0.2 (351). The above happens on my W7-32 laptop at home as well on my W10 laptop at work. I hope this is useful enough and I really hope you can fix this problem. -- Met vriendelijke groet / kind regards, Ruud Baltissen www.baltissen.org <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,72838,72838> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
