I got confirmation from Embarcadero support that storyboard launch screen will be supported in 10.4, including the beta that will be available to Delphi/RAD Studio customers on update subscription.

Done. OmniThreadLibrary now uses only the DSiWin32 part and ignores DSiWin32.VCL.

Not so much thanks to resources https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388506/displaying-splash-screen-in-delphi-when-main-thread-is-busy/45465592#45465592

It's personal. I, contrary, always stuck on C's ((foo *)bar**) etc. Pascal has different symbols for taking an address and dereferencing and it's very convenient.

@Lars Fosdal I tested with regular methods and it does work fine. I updated it today to include overloads for procedures (ie where you don't need to return anything).

It's currently tied to the vcl (only in DSiWin32.pas) so if anyone is trying to use Omni in a console/service running in a windows docker container they will be blocked. For now I just commented out the offending code (reading/writing fonts to registry, which isn't needed for omni).

It's on a horizon... still a little to go 🙂

I would love that too!

Hi, Some might already know Delphinus. But for those who don't i thought i make a little introduction post, to have a thread for discussion, as I never made one for the international Delphi-Praxis. Questions are always welcome. Delphinus is an opensource Packagemanager for Delphi, which I started in 2015. It has support for Delphi XE and newer. In addition to an IDE integration for package-management, Delphinus comes with a commandline, too. This has the benefit of having a single interface for managing multiple IDEs or run setup-scripts automatically. Currently, packages are provided through Github by preparing a repo to appear in a special Github-Query Delphinus uses to detect packages (See wiki link below). For optimal use, you should add a OAuth-Token to the Delphinus-Config(See wiki link below). Otherwhise you'll hit rate-limits. Offline installation from a folder is provided through the IDE-UI(Folder Symbol). Adding support for creating local folder based repositories for mirroing is planned. Delphinus packages have support for: Copying (source) files Compiling and (if Designtime) installing BPLs Compiling and installing IDE-Experts setting up Search/Browsing path Dependencies to other Delphinus-Packages Optionally, BPLs and Experts may be included as precompiled binary, if your project is closed source. Packages are installed per IDE. I'm working on per project installations. GithubRepository of Delphinus: https://github.com/Memnarch/Delphinus Wiki: https://github.com/Memnarch/Delphinus/wiki My Blog were I (in addition to ther Delphiprojects) post updates about Delphinus: http://memnarch.bplaced.net/ Websetup: http://memnarch.bplaced.net/blog/delphinus/

Hi, I never thought about including animation in a ListView but, why not 😉 However my guess is TListView is not a good candidate for this sort of usage. Instead think about the ancestor, a TScrollBox. In my mind, this Jaques Nascimento video or videos from CodeRage2019 (Paul Thoth and Adriano Santos interventions)

In the end, i did summon demons. And succeeded 😄 I'll share what this was all about soon(TM), once the stuff it's for is presentable. Edit: @Dave Nottage here is a blog with details on what it is for:

you could just work 7/24, problem solved

For the same reason I abandoned using VM for Delphi, productivity is the key to me. But benefits described by Dave Novo Dave Novo still stand. And the factors that might affect the performance listed by John Kouraklis definitely worth checking, especially anti-virus software. The real-time protection of any AV software is the major, most significant culprit of performance loss, I think you should use an AV without or allow you to disable real-time protection like me :) IMHO a program don't really need real-time AV protection, you should have the necessary habits to keep you safe from dark side of the Internet.
