The PL Editor (4.2.6) doesn't seem to like newer SWIPLs (>7.2.x) - any idea why?

Help!

I’ve been using the “SWI-Prolog Editor (Windows)” (see https://www.swi-prolog.org/IDE.html) for ages. I’ve come to like it - it’s small and fast, and good enough. When it breaks down, it restarts real fast. The PDT Eclipse plugin, on the other hand, is certainly fancy, but it is also clunky and takes ages to restart.

Apparently, though, it doesn’t like 64-bit versions of SWIPL. Which is a shame. Does anybody know a way to circumvent/solve this problem?

cheers

AFAIK. it links in the libswipl.dll, i.e. it embeds Prolog rather than calling it as a process. That means you need a 64-bit version for SWI-Prolog Editor. For the future this needs to be resolved as 32-bit apps are getting rare and sooner or later support will stop, either in Windows or from SWI-Prolog.
