Resumable subs indicators:

The first indicator shows that RefreshImpl is a resumable sub and it is called without waiting for it to complete.
The second indicator shows us where the sub will be paused and later resumed.

Good one, Erel!
In the new libraries tab, platforms column shows up ony after selecting a library to be included in the project. Is that indeed the idea? Any chance this could be changed to show all libraries platforms, whether they are selected or not?

It would also be useful if you could sort (or filter) the table.
Just to clarify... it is possible to filter, already in previous versions, but only on the names of the libraries. Now, it would be useful to sort the columns, so you can group the platforms or, if not possible, filter by any column (like the B4XTable). A combobox to select the platform or a group of radiobuttons would also be fine.

In short, a way to view only the libraries of a particular platform.

Might be added in the future. For this to work with good performance the IDE needs to maintain an internal index / database of the libraries. Currently the IDE doesn't load the XML or manifest files of unchecked libraries.

Is it only me?
No. There is indeed a bug here. Fixed for the next beta / stable version.
Luca, the issue is with the WYSIWYG window.

I see...
Thanks, Erel
