    ActionList Editor: New Standard Action...

    I'm guessing this is one of the shortcomings of Jira Service Manager vs. Jira. I considered the option to vote for a call a good thing too.
  2. @Rick_Delphi Please don't kill this forums raison d'être. 😉
  3. Funny this has remained unmentioned thus far: Object Pascal Handbook by Marco Cantù ...especially because it is free.

    Do you need an ARM64 compiler for Windows?

    Well, considering Windows on ARM will be gaining momentum as soon as some of these https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/laptops/here-are-the-9-pc-makers-supporting-qualcomms-game-changing-snapdragon-x-elite the streets, it might be a smart move to get the compiler running. But that's just my totally unprofessional opinion. On the other hand, MS themselves are increasing the pressure. Just look at the agenda for this years "Build": https://build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessions/9d806202-be61-4b5d-ba0d-59ecfcaf0482?source=sessions
  5. Now where would be the fun in that?
  6. Sometimes I'm thankful for my ignorance. I didn't even know it was possible to concatenate without the +. Otherwise I would be in Anders' position and screaming bloody murder.

    Writing if statement in the Code Editor

    D12.1, 100%, Dark Theme. Broken behavior: And there is enough space above and below for the hint to move.
  8. I think it is not filling the fields themselves, but the words used to fill them. Some "Heuristics" are really just that simple. Take Windows UAC installer detection for example. If an exes name contains Install, setup or even patch it will automatically need to be run with elevated privileges. If however you provide a manifest requesting a non elevated execution level the UAC will not elevate.

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    Web installer worked fine for me too. Impressive list of fixes. Worried about the future of bug tracking though.

    Delphi 12.1 is available

    Just spent the last 30 minutes staring at the screen, waiting for progress. Task manager showed high load in MS Defender...so I finally killed that and now the web installer is running. I wonder what was amiss there....

    Regression - Delphi 12 - IsZero()

    OK here's what I don't get. Seeing this const FuzzFactor = 1000; SingleResolution = 1E-7 * FuzzFactor; DoubleResolution = 1E-15 * FuzzFactor; I have to ask myself, why not const SingleResolution = 1E-4; DoubleResolution = 1E-12; Sure the calculation happens only once, and FuzzFactor seems to explain a magic number but then we still have those other magic numbers... just an observation.

    Bugs - where to write to fix it?

    The word you are looking for is "incomplete".
  14. D'uh! Should have figured that one out by myself. Sorry about that. Carry on.
