Good interview. "No developer should be seen without: Delphi, Beyond Compare, and NotePad++. What more do you really need?" Total Commander. Working without it is a big waste of time.

I do not know why. I found that the BMP method was the simplest way to make it work.

Simple example on how to display, add graphics and manipulate JPEG, PNG and BMP images by pixels. http://foersom.org/SwDev/Delphi/ImagesGraphics.html

I agree. LOL, are you sure you mean staff (employees, people) and not stuff (things, components)? 😉 Delphi 10.2.3 has worked well for us with third party components installed, e.g. TMS component pack and more.

Delphi 10.2.3 is very good. I use it for all new Delphi apps. I have Delphi 10.3.1 also, but I do not like the skinning and it is slower. So I do not use it. I hope Embarcadero makes an option to unskin. I sadly has to spend a lot time maintaining and developing in Delphi 5 for a specific application. Delphi 5 IDE and features has a lot annoying limitations. Due to large source size (~1.1 million LOC) the compiler inside IDE sometimes report error (I think it runs out of space for identifiers). The DCC32 command line compiler does not have the problem. In the past I have used Delphi 7 a lot, and that is my favorite of classic Delphi versions.
