Hi everyone !

Is there a way or a workaround to batch or automatize saving to dropbox or dropbox exchanges ?

That isn't currently possible. There are no commands available for saving to or reading from Dropbox. I know there were requests for it, because I was one of the requesters.

Thank you for your return
I was so stupid i did not think about copy and pasting whole folders of files...

Yes, that works. I thought you wanted access from within your code.

Oh yes this would have been terrific !

BTW do you happen to know if M. Kibernetik plans to support SB across news IOS releases ?

I am hesitating on investing a lot of time in SB coding and wander.

You should ask him directly. He usually reads the new posts. He did say a few months ago that he will continue to maintain smart Basic to be compatible with new iOS updates.

A question for you. Would you be willing to pay for a major upgrade of smart Basic? I definitely would, and I think if enough people would commit to it, this might encourage new development. Too often we expect developers to do their enhancements for free.

I have had recent conversations with Sylwester Los, the creator of ArtStudio. He will be releasing a brand new version of the app called ArtStudio Pro next month. It will not be an upgrade, but a new purchase. I will be buying it, regardless of the price, as soon as it is available. It is the closest thing to Photoshop that I have seen for the iPhone and iPad.

Can you visualize Smart Basic Pro? Imagine what new features could be possible

Currently smart BASIC is being supported and there are no plans to stop the support.
Yes, I am working on a new programming language, but it will be not a smart BASIC upgrade and it will not be an iOS application.
My new programming language will work on any type of device - smartphones, tablets, notebooks, desktops. It will have much more simple language syntax than BASIC and it will have much more language power than BASIC. iOS platform is limited for serious development by two reasons: Apple restrictions and device restrictions.

+1

Sure thing.

I do not know anything about this tool, but If it close to photoshop, it is probably bloated with interface objects and commands and possesses an awful learning curve ?
Since i am coming from a background of programmer, ( that was some years ago ! ) i am very happy with shapes for Mac.
Very low price, hard logic, intense support and strong product evolution ( as Miss Kibernetic does ! )

Since i use it very few for the moment, i do not even use 30% of the power of the current version and cannot imagine it !

I am still questioning myself about investing time in the SB platform.
It seems unbreakable, and amid the qualities, Miss K once told that there were no real limits regarding the program sizes.
What would help my decision would be to find 'primitives' ( french term ? ) i mean libraries dealing with database for example.

And browsers ?

I can understand this.
But remember the Japanase concept saying that famous creations comes from having constraints.
And you did an incredible job already !

BTW, do you think it will be possible to reuse SB code by any mean in your new concept ?

Not for browsers. My new SPL language is a universal app for Windows 10.

I don't know about reusing the code. If someone will make a kind of code translator from sB to SPL then maybe it will be possible.

If Windows phones and tablets had more market share, SPL would be an attractive choice for me. And I enjoy learning new languages. But the Windows share at the moment is tiny, so I will have to wait and see if that improves in the future. Also if I made the switch, my Apple Watch would become an orphan.

In the meantime I have recently done an extensive search of available iOS languages. And I haven't found anything that comes close to what I can achieve in smart Basic. You have done very well to overcome most of Apple's limitations, and we as programmers have discovered other workarounds.
