Ok,

I did not see anyone else post about this... I downloaded the latest windows version, but when I try to load the project i was working on it will only say that the directory is not a valid q7basic project???

I loaded in the prior version.....

You have to add .q7b to the name of all files but .ui.

ex.
MainWindow.QMainWindow.q7b
Module1.QObject.q7b

MainWindow.ui

Yes, fresh install. I copied the directory of my project from the windows machine to the Linux machine. When I tried to open in the Linux version I received the error that it was not basic 7. project.

Hi Gary,

Is it possible that the Linux version doesn't like the new .q7b extension?
I don't remember the Windows version where it was changed, could have been later than latest Linux version...

the latest Windows version wich worked without the q7b extension was june 20 2011
The release of december 19 2011 was the first one with the q7b extension.
The latest Linux version (21-March-2012) is using the q7b extension.

ok, found the problem... I had two copies of q7basic installed.. when I un-zipped the new version, it was not saving to the same place as the old.

Any idea when the goto error will be fixed? (records.goto)

Will upload a new linux version the next days (it is a lot easier than a Mac version @slowdown sorry).
