What was the problem with StackOverflow ? Just curious. as for the invisible browser, I had a similar problem with the old TWebBrowser in a hidden TTabsheet on a visible TForm. I needed to show it at least once. I don't know the exact reason, but it seems it requires some message to be send to the web browser, before it will work properly. Try showing the form and then hiding it... if it works, then try to pin-point the windows message that it requires to start going. If you know it, then you can emulate it. I know, that is not a ready solution, but maybe that helps a bit.

I don't really want to answer anything, I'm just making a remark that https://sqlitestudio.pl/ can import CSV files with a custom separator. It's such a basic feature, if "Database NET Pro 5" can't do that, drop it. I can't comment on the other issues related to slow data entry into a Unicode database, as it doesn't make much sense to me. 32,000 entries are not even that many.

Usually each release comes with a bunch of bugs fixed, and a new set of bugs released into the wild. I do think the product is slowly getting better though.

I did a quick test with the demo of the fmx-version of my resampler, just doing "Enable Skia" on the project. In the demo I compare my results to TCanvas.DrawBitmap with HighSpeed set to false. I see that the Skia-Canvas is being used, and that HighSpeed=False results in Skia-resampling set to SkSamplingOptionsHigh : TSkSamplingOptions = (UseCubic: True; Cubic: (B: 1 / 3; C: 1 / 3); Filter: TSkFilterMode.Nearest; Mipmap: TSkMipmapMode.None); So, some form of cubic resampling, if I see that right. Result: Timing is slightly slower than native fmx-drawing, but still a lot faster than my parallel resampling. I see no improvement in quality over plain fmx, which supposedly uses bilinear resampling with this setting. Here are two results: (How do you make this browser use the original pixel size, this is scaled!) This doesn't look very cubic to me. As a comparison, here are the results of my resampler using the bicubic filter: I might not have used Skia to its most favorable advantage. Renate

Underwhelming featurewise might just mean they focused on fixing bugs. I could live with that. Many of the features introduced in the recent releases didn't really matter for me personally. One can hope ...

It will be included to HTML Library demos with source code.

I always liked the concept of splines a lot, and here is now the reason why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPPXbo87ds This beautifully unveils all hidden secrets about it ( Ok, not all, hopefully more to come ).

If you're prepared to write a wizard you might find something in this fragments from a very old wizard I no longer use: procedure TMyWizMainForm.ShowInMessageView(const FileName, MessageStr: string; LineNumber, ColumnNumber: Integer); var MessageServices: IOTAMessageServices40; begin MessageServices := BorlandIDEServices as IOTAMessageServices40; MessageServices.ClearCompilerMessages; MessageServices.ClearToolMessages; MessageServices.AddToolMessage(FileName, MessageStr, '.....', LineNumber, ColumnNumber); ShowMessageView; end; procedure TMyWizMainForm.ShowUnitSource(const FileName: string); begin (BorlandIDEServices as IOTAActionServices).OpenFile(FileName); end; procedure TMyWizMainForm.ShowParseError(e: EParseError); var EditorServices: IOTAEditorServices; TopView: IOTAEditView; EditActions: IOTAEditActions; begin ShowInMessageView(CurrUnit, e.Message, e.LineNo, e.ColumnNo); EditorServices := BorlandIDEServices as IOTAEditorServices; TopView := EditorServices.TopView; if TopView = nil then begin ShowUnitSource(CurrUnit); TopView := EditorServices.TopView; end; if TopView <> nil then begin EditActions := TopView as IOTAEditActions; EditActions.NextError; end; Close; Beep; end; It works (worked?) by inserting a custom line into the IDE's message window and make the IDE jump there.
