    Delphi and "Use only memory safe languages"

    Now there's something the folks over at Embarcadero can aspire to. Imagine built in memory safety in Delphi.

    SMB/CIFS share from Linux

    In the past I have encountered some issues with the classic mount scheme, especially in WiFi environments, where a temporarily lost connection could lead to a permanently (until next reboot) lost mount. I have found autofs to be a perfect solution for this and also a good way to reduce network traffic. Here is a small explanation: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP2/html/SLES-all/cha-autofs.html. And after looking into this I found newer versions of systemd are capable of the same thing, just read here: https://anteru.net/blog/2019/automatic-mounts-using-systemd/.

    Do I really need a certificate?

    The certificate is there to show that someone feels responsible for this file. And is confident enough to stick his name to it. Since then it has not been altered.

    Hyper-V server as host for 3 VMS

    The future of vmware is uncertain since the Broadcom acquisistion. At least their "larger" products have been switched to a pricier model. At the moment they say that workstation and player remain untouched...for now. https://borncity.com/win/2024/01/19/after-discontinuation-vmware-player-workstation-and-fusion-seems-to-remain/
  5. What protocols does this distant server support? Which authentication steps need to be taken? Can you manually or by other means do this task? As soon as you can answer these questions...you'll get an educated answer.
  6. Your interface definition for example. Not deeper coding knowledge needed for that.
  7. It is quite simple: Only request permissions you really need. Then explaining why you need them is a peace of cake.

    Better Translation Manager(BTM) and hint texts

    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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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

    This is solved, as soon as Embarcadero has solved their server issues. Read here for more informations
  12. 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.

    Delphi 12 (Athens) - CustomTitleBar - fsMDIForm

    Well since MDI forms have experienced a major redo for D12, I would suggest looking there.
  14. 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.
  15. This is always a very good idea, unless you are trying to develop something like hardware drivers.
  16. 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.

    ListView

    Well, it looks like the FMX.TListView might be able to do the trick...not VCL, mind you! For VCL follow @PeterBelow

    Unknown Delphi Version

    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.

    ListView

    Those are just TButtons with three dots in 'em. It is up to the programmer to react to the OnClick event and open up whatever dialog is desired.
  20. 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

    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)
  22. And the good news is: Yay!!!
  23. No worries, you're not the first, and definitely wont be the last.
