Create or extend a file named UserTools.proj in %APPDATA%\Embarcadero\BDS\19.0 (for 10.2 Tokyo) with the following code: <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <PropertyGroup> <DCC_Define>FrameWork_$(FrameworkType);$(DCC_Define)</DCC_Define> </PropertyGroup> </Project> Now you can check for the project framework with {$IFDEF FrameWork_VCL} and {$IFDEF FrameWork_FMX}.

Personally, I like having the day of the week as well, which is something the bare ISO-8601 format lacks; so my preference would be "Posted 2018-11-03 15:02 (Saturday)". In other words, user-defined? Apparently, there are currently (at least) three formats: Posted 59m ago Posted Saturday at 03:02 PM Posted October 18 (I expect there to be a fourth showing the year as well). The first one is fine with me. The second one is confusing for me, as 03:02 implies the middle of the night (my brain is used to parsing just the time info, not the separate "PM"). This could be fixed by using the user's localization info, or even the browser's. The third one is missing the time; sometimes it can be useful to see how much time there was between two posts in the same thread, even if they were made a long time ago. There's enough space for 15:02 (or 3:02 PM) to be added... As for time zones, I do prefer seeing date/times in my own time zone instead of UTC.

One nice feature of the Delphi IDE that I keep forgetting are Component Templates. That means you drop and customize one or multiple components on a form and then give them a new name so you can easily create them again on a different form in a different program. https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2018/11/03/creating-component-templates-in-delphi/

The use of a specific library/framework is different than the compilation for different cpus or platforms. Then same compiler is used regardless if it's a vcl or a fmx project. You can even mix up both inside a program. With onboard means Vcl is only available in win32 and win64, but with CrossVCL it can also be used for macOS and Linux targets.

Is there any setting to make this forum display date and time in user-selected format? I could not find such setting, but I would prefer European or ISO 8601 format instead of "Sunday 12.24 PM" I currently see.

The date/time Format will be changed? I Would like to see "Posted 2018-10-30 15:02" Instead of "Posted Tuesday at 03:02 PM" or best "Posted 2018-10-30T15:02Z" greetings K-H

Look at https://gitlab.com/teo-tsirpanis/gold-parser-Lazarus for a version 5 compatible Gold engine. Version 5 grammars are not compatible with versions 1 engines. But IMHO the good old lex/yacc https://github.com/RomanYankovsky/ndyacclex can be more easily integrated with your Delphi projects. No need to rely on third party libraries. One could develop and test the grammar with GOLD I suppose and then translate it to lex/yacc.

It is very unfortunate that you used merge to get the latest master changes into your fork rather than rebasing. That makes looking at your changes very difficult (I had to look back through the commits until I found yours that were not integrated into master via PR). Also having all changes in one branch will result in some huge PR whereas putting each different change into it's own branch and submitting PRs for that would be easier to review. I don't know about Roman but I would not accept a PR with a ton of different fixes where I cannot separate them from each other and validate them individually. I just bring this up because I want those bugfixes incorporated back into the main project.

@Attila Kovacs I look after the IDE, so it is "my work" in that sense, but credit really needs to go to our very hard-working developer, and the UX designer I worked with to create the new look. @Lars Fosdal + vs > is a stylistic choice, since > seems to be more common today.

BTW Delphi IDE has MultiPaste feature, which can paste lines adding a prefix and a suffix, and escaping quotes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca8itZ9xXnA (Don't know how to insert Youtube video).

Not yet - but it is on the list to make this an user-option.

DP may be willing to open sub-forums for other Delphi Communities on Google+, to grow the community even more. If you currently operate a Delphi related Community on Google+, or a mailing list, or other user-facing solutions elsewhere - and would be interested in relocating here, please get in touch with @Daniel to find out what can be done.
