thinAir

Add

Added option to make automatic backup copies of scripts. See thinAir configuration options under General.

When activated, thinAir will create a .\BAK directory under current script directory. When script is saved, a copy of the script will be saved into .\BAK with the same name of the script plus a counter. This will allow precise control over every change.

Attention: if you have activated "Save all before run" option and backup is on, a copy of the script will automatically done at every script execution.

Improved

possibility to assign multiple values in one go to array elements. So the following syntax will be accepted:

ElementNumber = 1

MyArray(ElementNumber) = FirstValue, SecondValue, ..., nthValue

thinBasic will assign FirstValue to MyArray(ElementNumber), SecondValue to MyArray(ElementNumber + 1) and so on.

Equivalent standard code is

MyArray(1) = FirstValue

MyArray(2) = SecondValue

...

MyArray(nth) = nthValue

This will be possible with any numeric, string or variant array.
