Seeking Collaboration: Creating a Delphi Component for STM32 Boards
Sherlock replied to techdesk's topic in General Help
Your interface definition for example. Not deeper coding knowledge needed for that. -
Dangerous "android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" is set as default. Shall I remove unused permissions?
Sherlock replied to HaSo4's topic in Cross-platform
It is quite simple: Only request permissions you really need. Then explaining why you need them is a peace of cake. -
This or I would suggest to keep going with dummy spaces and to remove then at runtime. Then, no hints are displayed where none are there to display.

Seeking Collaboration: Creating a Delphi Component for STM32 Boards
Sherlock replied to techdesk's topic in General Help
OK, before this discussion gets out of hand. Might I suggest @techdesk to start a project on Github, SourceForge or any other collaboration site, and then present it here? Anyone interested will surely join you. -
What new features would you like to see in Delphi 13?
Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Please don't drift off to LLM troubleshooting or comparisons. This is a thread for a Delphi 13 wishlist. -
GetIt Package Manager Delphi 11.3 Timeout
Sherlock replied to VolkerS's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
This is solved, as soon as Embarcadero has solved their server issues. Read here for more informations -

Sherlock replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Bug fixes, bug fixes and after that: more bug fixes. Don't release until there are no more unresolved bug reports. Quit following hypes just for the hypes sake. -
Well since MDI forms have experienced a major redo for D12, I would suggest looking there.

Delphi 12.0 TParallel.For performance. Threading.pas issues
Sherlock replied to mitch.terpak's topic in General Help
Considering the 1337 attitude of some developers ("well written code is self explanatory") they might just have the best Delphi coders in the world... however, seeing as the RTL and VCL are very often a source of inspiration and for learning, I would also appreciate more well written comments. Perhaps not line for line, but at least stating the intent of the following code block or the reasoning why this way was chosen over another. -
Does anyone know the truth about the Delphi subcription?
Sherlock replied to caymon's topic in General Help
This is always a very good idea, unless you are trying to develop something like hardware drivers. -
Does anyone know the truth about the Delphi subcription?
Sherlock replied to caymon's topic in General Help
It has always been my understanding that you may continue to use the product after the license expires, you just wont get updates or assistance. But that cited text there reads quite troubling. You should be aware though, that there are different license agreements for different countries. So please make sure you are reading the correct one, concerning you and where you bought the license. -
1. May I suggest to quickly edit the first question and translate the title to english 😉 2. The version in question is quite surely XE7 which for some people is also "just" 7.

Strange issues using multiline strings (was "Is it just me?? ")
Sherlock replied to Ian Branch's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Fixed the title. Should the fix be wrong, or if it can be improved. Just holler. -
Unable to install Athens on new Windows 11 ARM
Sherlock replied to Pat Heuvel's topic in General Help
Use Parallels? Even Microsoft only mentions Parallels in their FAQ regarding Windows 11 on ARM (https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-arm-based-pcs-faq-477f51df-2e3b-f68f-31b0-06f5e4f8ebb5) -

If you still experience some issues with this forum, please post a message in the community management section of this forum - found here: https://en.delphipraxis.net/forum/2-community-management/ or PM me. -

Sherlock replied to Keesver's topic in General Help
Yeah, I really hope so too. But having read the word reputation at least twice in this read just triggered the association. -

Sherlock replied to Keesver's topic in General Help
There is fitting german proverb for exactly this "Ist der Ruf erst runiniert, lebt es sich gänzlich ungeniert" Which roughly translates to "Once the reputation is shot you can live quite unabashedly" Soooo... I'm guessing they are headed in that direction. 😄 -

Sherlock replied to Keesver's topic in General Help
For the Embarcadero Edition there seems to be only GetIt as a source, but you may try to contact their support. -
Moved this part of the discussion to here. Looked smoother.

Sherlock replied to Keesver's topic in General Help
So...this seems to be just about the right time to create a new thread. Anyone looking for GetIt alternatives...please look here: Anything else concerning the unavailable Embarcadero services continues right here.
