Here's an odd one:

Shouldn't the object in the tabs have been found?

    I think I have had the same error also. Cannot remember what I did to correct.

    Maybe we should collect them and write a list.
    I've got another one:

    If you save a binary file after compiling a spin file, you won't be able to chose "save as spin" anymore.
    You have to restart the tool to make it work again.

    I get that error when I am working on a file that I haven't saved, or the file is saved in a different location than the object I am working with. Why propeller tool doesn't allow objects to be in subdirectories or allow full paths, I will never know. All my files are all in the same place. Makes for a busy directory.

    I get that error when I try to build something that's part of a .zip package which I assumed is somehow "special" ... in a similar directory as you have shown. Is it really a bug? Maybe.

    May the road rise to meet you; may the sun shine on your back.
    May you create something useful, even if it's just a hack.

    Just type in the full name (i.e. fred.spin), no need to restart the whole IDE. But yes, it's confusing.

    I've had this problem multiple times. Moving the file from the temporary folder to the Propeller library fixes it for me.

    I've also seen this problem, though I don't recall the setup I was using such as a file from a temp folder or zip file.

    Doing some forum searches brings up some items that I posted before on improvements or errors.

    Incidentally, is there a working example where a tab file can actually be referenced? I got the impression that compilation only ever works with library references and files in the same directory. The latter only if the file you're working on has been saved there.

    Well I think what people may be used to is that if you open a file (in the correct working directory) it will first reference the [noparse][[/noparse]unsaved] file in the tab before it goes after the saved file in the same working directory. If it isn't found in the working directory it then goes and checks the library folder.

    I've seen it a few times. This usually occurs if the file is in an Zip file and not in a directory. Either unzip it to your local directory or create a master objects directory.

    I have had it happen. Some times when I try to program either F10 of F11 - press ok and try it again and it works .. Op Sys XP SP3
