Finally they have to eat their own can of worms...
-
Is that only in your Delphi application or in all applications? In the latter case I concur with @David Heffernan in the former, please write a QC ticket.

They could have reused their Win7 Engine, but where would be the fun in that.
-
Considering that's how everybody else does it, causing some poor saps to even run W2K machines that is not the worst of all choices...

I loved JEDI VCS, but that ship has sailed so long ago. Just use this opportunity to jump in some fresh clean water.

RAD Studio 11 Alexandria Patch 1 Available
Sherlock replied to Uwe Raabe's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
I guess those folks are still on D2007. -
Yeah, scratch my remark, please. USB-C is Thunderbolt compatible.
-
Anyone with no need for USB peripherals I guess...

Delphi 11.0 Alexandria produces more compact x64 executables than 10.4.2 Sydney !
Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I am very happy about noticeable changes in the compiler. It means they really still care. It's just not my main concern to save one or two megabytes here or there. But I do understand folks that really need it, hence the "broader audience" part in my post... some really need small executables. There is a whole Non-VCL movement out there, that denies themselves the VCL for reasons of exe sizes (among other reasons, I am sure). But, they might not profit from these changes... -

Sherlock replied to A.M. Hoornweg's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
While it is a nice thing for some, ever since the use of floppy disks for data exchange has dwindled, the broader audience does not really care about exe sizes. -
So, what is left is separating application logic from UI.
-
Oh, that's easy...decrease sales to a noticeable amount. But old timey companies with the "we do everything right" attitude owned by new timey "generate revenue or bust" corporations would die over that in an instant. So everything should go on the way it has always gone... move on, nothing to see here.
-
Yet another way to look at it: Wow! Many folks still use Delphi and are eager to use the newest release as well. So.... not dead! EoD.
-
D'uh! Thousands....thanks for pointing that out.🤦♂️
-
Show of hands: Who mucks up their code with thousands separators? Or would that one accountant who happens to dabble in Delphi please stand up!

What it's like to be a Delphi Developer
Sherlock replied to Joe C. Hecht's topic in Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos
Well, he could be referring to IDLE... but that is a long shot. 😄 -
PAServer Error: file permissions do not allow debugging
Sherlock replied to ChrisChuah's topic in Cross-platform
I believe you need to give the PAServer read permission for the files in your scratch folder. Check permissions for PAServer in the Settings of your Mac. These permissions may get lost after an update of either the Mac or the respective application. -
Honestly, I feel this right here is the best place to get information like that 😊
-
Yes. Since September....
-
Surely you mean 10.3.3 10.4.3 is up next year...
-
At four times the price 🤣😂🤣
-
Your welcome. Good job reading past the chatter, by the way.👍
-
Sure, but then XCode 13 will be out....
-
Oh boy. Let's stop it right here, before this gets extragalactic off topic.

Whenever I'm in IDLE, I'm yearning to get back to the Delphi IDE. And IDLE really isn't that old, it's way younger than Delphi. It can always get worse...
