lol. sounds like someone needed an excuse for their own bugs! I am sure Bill Gates never had time to do this, all his time was on creating the Covid Vaccine! "Honestly, Guv`nor, my code is perfect, it must be Windows" I am about to attach this as evidence to all my bugs so they can be closed.

Migration Tool works great for me. It looks like they have added more capabilities in the tool, but I just take all the settings. I do use TMS and I took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest versions so not sure if I actually needed to reinstall them. Looks like a fantastic release and I am looking forward to seeing the quality improvements in action.

Yes, this is normal for Rad Studio.

Do you think some hints at compile time like "You have a lot of components on this form which may impact performance"? That seems like something that could be hinted at, and you could always switch it off. IDE Fix is a must!

I have used Rio since the Beta and while I have found a few small bugs/issues, I have used it almost problem-free. I do not experience CPU load or flickering. But I dont use GetIt, I think the issues will depend on what the IDE is used for, and how. Update 1 will hopefully be sometime soon, and should fix a lot of problems. It is a shame we don`t get a rolling Beta for this, which would increase confidence in what was coming. Regardless, I am happy with what is there, with the understanding that there are a lot of bugs to fix. Fingers crossed we hear something soon about Update 1!

Agreed, TMS provide a great response. I had a similar experience and had a fix within a day, and a workaround. Great product and support!
