    How do you organize units, forms?

    Amen! Anyway, sorting is just something that pleases the eyes. I only keep the methods sorted within their classes. Anything else I find via Ctrl+f or Shift+Alt+s.

    Funny Code in System.Types

    Would you prefer an exception?

    Random app crashes on MacOS

    It aint always Delphis fault... good to know

    CDATA CSV Component

    But I do hope it's either free, or very inexpensive. Importing CSV is far from being magic. It's more like splitting a String into a TStringlist and trying some StrToInt or StrToFloat... Otherwise, try looking into these threads from the mother ship https://www.delphipraxis.net/51457-csv-editor.html https://www.delphipraxis.net/158355-csvviewer-zum-betrachten-von-csv-dateien.html

    New Inline variables mess up IDE

    @Mark Williams I'm genuinely surprised that Error Insight is working for you apart from inline variables. Apart from small (very small) projects this has never been the case for me since they introduced it, back in the day. So I guess...lucky you. I have to disable it every time I install Delphi. *sigh*

    SVG Magic released

    This would actually be a great FMX enhancement...

    SVG Magic released

    @PeterPanettone? Please! Words like slander are way out of line. I know it's hot, but please keep your cool.
  8. Marco Cantu announced FmxLinux is available for all developers using the Enterprise or Architect versions of Delphi or RADStudio. So go "GetIt"! Read more about it here: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/announcing-fmx-linux-bundling-with-delphi-and-rad-studio Discuss it right in this thread.
  9. I only smell "magic numbers" there. Rest looks fine.

    Nope, dates are still "M D Y" including ordinal indicators for the day (June 24th 2019).

    Well then get to it. The US have switched to the metric system as of June 2013, when the imperial measurements were rebased to depend on their corresponding metric units. Source: Wikipedia
  12. Just noticed this possible issue with the debugger: I have a simple generic list. Up until 10.2 when debugging I was able to see the items in that list - drill down into them if I wished. But in 10.3.1 the debugger stops at "items", I only see the addresses, but can't view the items anymore, this is a serious break in behavior. Am I missing something? Is there some setting I now have to apply to get the old behavior? Or is this a bug? TIA for any insights. Rio-debugging.mov Tokyo debugging.mov
  13. Well, it was just a guess 🙂
  14. And perhaps don't switch the payment context to Europe (it's free anyway).
  15. Yeah right. Do you really believe "they" will stop developing own tags and/or standards to set themselves apart from the competition? I'll believe it when I see it. Too much has happened since I first browsed the net with NCSA Mosaic on an HP Apollo Workstation (Micky D's was under construction back then... those where the days, man!)
  16. "The web stuff" is very much dependent on browsers, their versions and manufacturers. That is not something to take lightly. Just look at all the poor folks that have to keep on using IE 10 or even 8 because of dimly written web based applications, that have been published in a fire and forget manner. I would only ever even consider going that way for non critical short lived Apps.
  17. I totally agree! This is not something one should just accept/dismiss/ignore/whatever. They will only learn, if they are told what they do wrong. This might not even be ill will on their part. And while writing about the issue in the coolest Delphi forum on the planet is... well, cool. It is not "telling them". This should be done directly.

    A YAML Library for Delphi

    I love and use YAML for the cleanness and built in support for "complex" types such as date time....other than JSON for example. Wrote my own YAML thingy which only covers what I need, but might consider switching to this now.... Thanks for the effort!
  19. I'm guessing... the USA? It's the origin of this silly action, isn't it?

    Saving a large project takes soooo Loooonnnnggg..

    LiveBindings are a toy, at best, anyway. So don't worry about disabling them.

    I hope nobody builds infinite loops that way...

    RadStudio Roadmap 2019

    As @Markus Kinzler has pointed out with his announcement, there is a revised roadmap for RadStudio available at: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/rad-studio-roadmap-may-2019 Your two cents may find a home right here 😉

    RadStudio Roadmap 2019

    Sure, but they could have stuck to old OpenGL drivers, just because.

    RadStudio Roadmap 2019

    Of course, I'd be ecstatic otherwise 😉 Concerning the language server complex, I recommend starting in our very own thread on that subject:

    RadStudio Roadmap 2019

    What's so interesting about that? At this time FMX for mobile devices is rendering via OpenGL. OpenGL in iOS however is deprecated. I don't know the situation in Android, but for iOS this is really good news and leads to faster rendering in Delphi apps.
