Regarding FixInsight, it would appear that after acquisition only marginal work has been invested. https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/fixinsight.asp?s=history However, this might mean the product is stable and needs no more improvements. I am quite happy with it, and the flexible ways to make it fit my requirements.

Amen to that! Every Tom, Dick or Harry writes something into the registry nowadays. It's just as cluttered as the good old win.ini was back in the day.

I always thought that happens as soon as you are in the thread (not necessarily reading it). But I guess you want to mark it read without entering it, correct?

How about turning those few lines into an abstract? Something short and juicy like "In this blog post I'll discuss the possibilities to get the real Windows version". That should be enough to either get the attention of the interested, or inform the uninterested of the contents so they can move on. BTT: Very useful, thank you!

Are you sure he is talking about the quality...or rather about the time invested? And please, words like delusional are not considered to be kind or respectful.

Thank you, that is all we're asking.

@AlekXL Please consider reading your posts while taking your opponents point of view. Then please consider them to be human beings. Then alter your text, defusing the disses, then take a deep breath, read it again, insert some final niceties and finally post it. Moderators have been lenient thus far, but patience is growing short.

I know that, but how many successful pull requests have you gotten into RTL/VCL/FMX so far?

Well...if you know your other methods do the file check, then don't do it outside of them. But only then.

Very insightful and concise @Dalija Prasnikar. I would even go so far as to say: The compiler is not the issue, it's the libs (RTL/VCL/FMX) as you said, but also the IDE that might profit of opening up, and still there would have to be a team of code reviewers that would do nothing but prevent crap faulty/low quality code from getting into the base. Not sure if Embarcadero would want to make that investment.

OMG, that website is a total turnoff. Sorry 4 the OT.

So, just to be clear. These are messages in the "Event Log"? They do not come from the compiler. They are messages triggered by your application and the DLLs it uses. Either you dive in deeper using the process monitor from SysInternals or check out how you access those files (standard API, some old legacy code, some new self made code, some alien technology and so forth) in your code. Where are those files? In the MS cloud aka OneDrive?

Decorating almost always is. That is one of the most awesome features of Python, simple use of decorators.

Aw, come on guys...back to trying to solve the issue please.

Hah! Forgot about that caveat. Thanks, toms!

And here's a link for that fine product: https://www.delphipraxis.net/attachments/50391d1544033172-wuppdiwp-neue-welcome-page-fuer-delphi-pkgwuppdiwp_dx103r_1-2-2.zip

Forget about it. The concept of pull requests eludes me as well. And I consider myself a regular git user.

The secret here is in the platform dependent units System.iOS.Sensors and System.Android.Sensors. System.Sensors is mainly a placeholder or rather a unit containing virtual classes that are fleshed out depending on the platform. For example lets look at iOS as a target: Using System.Sensors.TGeocoder will result in System.iOS.Sensors.TGeocoder getting used. This implements a TiOSGeocoder described in iOSapi.CoreLocation. It is mapped to iOSs built in Geocoder aka CLGeocoder which has the method reverseGeocodeLocation and will return all the data. It's an iOS API call in essence. I'm very sure the same goes for Android. That's it.

Works here with 10.3.1 on a Win10-64 VM. Must say however that on a Win7-32 VM only the connection seems to work. Server and client state a connection has been made, but after that no messages are received on either side. No hanging though!

Just post it right here, that's fine. Not every single AddOn/Component/Framework needs its own subforum.

There is no definitive guide to this. Consult this thread as a starting point

Thank you all for the clarifications. I'll let the girls and boys at Embarcadero decide what to do with this. It is baffling however, how you are able to dismiss blatant reduction of usability with "the code was changed". I wish I could do this to my customers.

OK, wait a minute, please. I am just a dumb user and not an IDE developer. Since the introduction of generics this way of inspecting the contents of an object worked just fine. Now it does not anymore. I actually don't care what "they" did and why. I have not read anything in the release notes stating any changes in the debugger (apart from debugging optimized builds), for better or worse. So from my point of view it's unintentionally broken. Plain and simple. I really hope Rudy will see this btw. in reference to the discussion about breaking changes 😄 Guessing from your arguments my call might get closed soon, but here it is anyway: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-24041

Thank you! I thought I was the only one with "small" applications. My main application only has 18.000 LOC client side and roughly 5000 LOC server side. And its a medical device developed for cross platform use...

So it's a bug. Please don't tell me it's a feature. This has been a very nice and comfortable tool for debugging. I'll open a call.
