EDIT: Sorry Mr Bumb. Did'n' see your previous post.

You don't need to download the new terminal program and data sheet, they are included in the Propeller Tool download.

Leon,

I believe the PST Terminal program, Data Sheet, and Manual all have a new revision number as of today.

What changes or upgrades were made? Anyone know?

I was hoping you could copy (ctrl-c) from the Parallax Serial Terminal. Is there any way to do a copy to the clipboard in the PST?

Select the stuff you want (becomes inverted). Then press (and hold) ctrl+c until the selection is reset.

Update: The hold bit is a red herring. It's just in the past I had to press ctrl+c rather longer than I normally do so I remembered that bit wrongly. Anyway, I re-verified and right now it's simply press/release.

I would really LOVE to see the printing issues be addressed. The end of every page is clipped off and I really dislike wasting toner (and the fact that it makes things less readable) to shade the background behind the text. Turning off color printing seems to just make the areas around the text white but the shaded areas are still everywhere else.

Thank you - great fix...

I see that the "Save As..." bug still in there...

Start the program, load an object (any), press F8 and save the binary. Close the F8 window.
Go to File, Save As and you'll notice that the File Type selector is now defaulting to .binary and not .spin
If you type a file name (and do not add the .spin) it will save your source with a .binary extension and give you a nice white background window ...

Maybe in 1.31 ?

Re: Printing.

Just copy, paste to notepad, then file print. That's a kludge, but it beats wasting print resources.

Bug with Nordic keyboards seems still open. With Fi/Sw keymap if one presses Alt-Gr + 4 to get $, the IDE inserts unnecessary Yen-sign before the Dollar ... ¥$
(at least with XP sp2)

I still get an intermittant error when trying to copy (Ctrl C) text. Anyone else? Says it can't copy to clipboard. But even though it says that it still copies anyway. Strange.

Re: Printing.

I use Edit | Preferences | Appearance tab and change Scheme: from Spin to None.

This makes the background white.
