I'm thinking about a new format for the code metadata.

The current format is too complicated:

• One file code:

  CodeName[Win].pb, CodeName[Win,Lin].pb, CodeName.pb (all OS)

  Code file header:

  ;   Description: 
  ;            OS: Windows, Linux, Mac
  ; English-Forum: 
  ;  French-Forum: 
  ;  German-Forum: 
  ; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

• More files code:

  CodeDirectoryName[Win], CodeDirectoryName[Lin,Mac], CodeDirectoryName (all OS)

  CodeDirectoryName/CodeInfo.txt:

  ;   Description: 
  ;            OS: Windows, Linux, Mac
  ; English-Forum: 
  ;  French-Forum: 
  ;  German-Forum: 
  ; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  

How I imagine the new format at the moment:

• One file code and more files code:

  CodeDirectoryName/PackageInfo.json:

  {
    "packageDescription": "This is an example package",
    "packageAuthors": "Author1, Author2",
    "packageVersion": "1.0 Beta 1",
    "packageUpdateDate": "02.10.2019 16:00",
    "packageLicense": "MIT License",
    "windowsSupport": true,
    "linuxSupport": true,
    "macSupport": true,
    "forumThread_DE": "https://www.purebasic.fr/german/...",
    "forumThread_EN": "https://www.purebasic.fr/english/...",
    "forumThread_FR": "https://www.purebasic.fr/french/...",
    "files": [
      {
        "fileName": "Logo.png",
        "authors": "Author1, Author2",
        "version": "1.0",
        "updateDate": "01.10.2019 10:30",
        "license": "CC-BY-4.0"
      },
      {
        "fileName": "Music.mp3",
        "authors": "Author",
        "version": "2.0",
        "updateDate": "04.09.2019 14:18",
        "license": "CC-BY-4.0"
      }
    ]
  }

As you can see, the new format now also supports metadata for non-code files.

The JSON can easily be read into a structure:

Structure CodeInfoFilesStruc
  fileName$
  authors$
  version$
  updateDate$
  license$
EndStructure

Structure CodeInfoStruc
  packageDescription$
  packageAuthors$
  packageVersion$
  packageUpdateDate$
  packageLicense$
  windowsSupport.i
  linuxSupport.i
  macSupport.i
  forumThread_DE$
  forumThread_EN$
  forumThread_FR$
  List files.CodeInfoFilesStruc()
EndStructure

[...]

ExtractJSONStructure(JSONValue(json), @codeInfo, CodeInfoStruc)
