@dummzeuch do not forget that some project use uses that are on another path/disk depend on user components/library installation. Search is according to the user given directories and it will take time to search. Now, what happens if a need for pas file has a duplicate, it has to check the date, and so on and so on. it is not as simple as it sounds. Sometimes, if one installed a new library with an update but the program you compile uses an OLD version , what then. It happens to me a lot needing to go back, and have problems. People sometimes change, names, properties, and more when they update libraries.

Pieces of this software we have all over the IDE. But Ok. In my case, I would like one specific piece. CNpack for example clean uses

One more step to automate is to put the directories in dproj and as @Uwe Raabe pointed it will be perfect And another thing I could not find in PascalAnalyzerLite (and I might be wrong) if added directories are someplace else. A list of directories to scan. Maybe I did not look enough well, I took a library out of the project and PascalAnalyzerLite did bring me the old scann.

@dummzeuch It is nice but as you understand this is not the solution because one has to compile to know which dcu is missing and this is tedious PascalAnalyzerLite has the solution but with a lot of overhead which is not needed in my case

@dummzeuch Ha ha Ok. The need is scanning for the dcu

@dummzeuch It seem that PascalAnalyzerLite does it all is needed is to copy put ";" in bitween directorie and copy as a large string. But a small pas software is OK without the large information

@Uwe Raabe That is great thanks

@dummzeuch i do not understand what it does since there is no button to choose a dpr (project) and scann it

@dummzeuch If you do add to Gexpert that will be cool. If you can submit the source here beforehand I will test it on a project

Ok thanks

Thanks, I will try it on a project

@FPiette The problem is simple Start compiling a project first time The error will tell you what is missing in the uses (I am not talking about pas lines error just the uses) On large projects uses errors send you to different uses and so on. This is where the mess starts. Take any project, not yours you do not know what is missing.

@FPiette You all right but the problem is NOT you and me Using someone ELSE projects often is a mess with directories. They split the pas files into many directories which make life a bit cumbersome for compilation. I am with Delphi since #1 and still love to learn new stuff by compiling other people's projects. Delphi is my profession AND my hobby

@dummzeuch Sorry it is weekend here. Well now it compiled OK Tf_PortableAppsToStartMenu.b_PortableAppsDirClick <<<< empty

It seems it does not work not in my case.

Ok i give up after {.$R *_version.res} << disable {.$R *_icon.res} {.$R *_manifest.res} new error [Exec Error] The command "call "G:\Delphi Projects\GEXPERT\portableappstostartmenu\tags\1.0.0\buildtools\postbuild.cmd" ..\PortableAppsToStartMenu" exited with code 1. when it will be fool proof i recheck. Sorry

Can i be notify on the fix?

@Bill Meyer forgot about that. You are right but now [dcc32 Error] E1026 File not found: 'PortableAppsToStartMenu_version.res' [dcc32 Error] E1026 File not found: 'PortableAppsToStartMenu_icon.res' [dcc32 Error] E1026 File not found: 'PortableAppsToStartMenu_manifest.res' [dcc32 Error] E1026 File not found: 'PortableAppsToStartMenu_version.res' [dcc32 Error] E1026 File not found: 'PortableAppsToStartMenu_icon.res' [dcc32 Error] E1026 File not found: 'PortableAppsToStartMenu_manifest.res' Plz add res

I rechecked 1. Using ....portableappstostartmenu\tags\1.0.0\src 2. just above it portableappstostartmenu\tags\1.0.0\buildtools 3. Output portableappstostartmenu\tags\1.0.0 (..) 4. buildtools\postbuild.cmd $(OUTPUTDIR)$(OUTPUTNAME) should be and not ..\ 5. Now a new error [Exec Error] The command "call buildtools\prebuild.cmd G:\Delphi Projects\GEXPERT\portableappstostartmenu\tags\1.0.0\src\PortableAppsToStartMenu.dproj" exited with code 1. which mean no file found so i gave it a full path call G:\Delphi Projects\GEXPERT\portableappstostartmenu\tags\1.0.0\buildtools\prebuild.cmd it did not help

I have an expert that gets all the classes from the IDE. var xx: TPersistentClass; xx := GetClass(PackageServices.ComponentNames[PackageCounter, ComponentCounter]); some components show xx as nil although they are on the pallet and can be used i cannot read xx.ClassName for that Any idea why? P.S It seems that components from ToolPalette do not have that problem I just checked it on ToolPalette it has the same problem xx := GetClass on some names are nil

Thanks, I hope I will manage.

I went into build events but did not want to do bad thing

D10.2.3 'while compiling the source i get this error [Exec Error] The command "call ..\buildtools\prebuild.cmd G:\Delphi Projects\GEXPERT\portableappstostartmenu\trunk\src\PortableAppsToStartMenu.dproj" exited with code 20005.

I am using for years https://portableapps.com/ All portables programs are added to the above program even if the portable program is not on the list. I have it on a USB stick that works great when needed

@Mahdi Safsafi on second found not loaded it breaks I have to load All of them for viewing. So with your advice, this is the test bench and it fails at the second iteration if not PackageInf.Loaded then begin s.Add('--------- not loaded ' + PackageServices.PackageNames[PackageCounter]); PackageInf.Loaded := True;<<<<here Unload := True; end; is my var correct ? PackageInf: IOTAPackageInfo; Stack overflow may be some how free? DockingForm (3).zip
