Well, it could be useful to specify a specific version of the program independently from the version number.

Now that is something one should avoid anyway. Special builds for special customers create special problems. One version for all leads to the same problematic source for all - and generally speaking, source code is always problematic, as soon as it consists of more than "Hello World".

Compilation date is rarely useful, only when you don't use "source version" control, you need that information. Your customers surely don't need it.

I would consider this to be a Stone Soup. So with minor contributions from everyone, this could really be a great thing. It could of course also go the way quite a few open source projects have gone straight towards oblivion, but I tend to look at things positive. I would be happy to contribute "human readable" content such as installation instructions (something lacking in most other OS projects) and so forth.

Doesn't look like there is any code in this repo. I'm confused.

Unfortunately, I work with a good deal of legacy code which is in source control, and applying class sorting would wreak havoc there.

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.

Would you prefer an exception?

It aint always Delphis fault... good to know

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

@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*

This would actually be a great FMX enhancement...

@PeterPanettone? Please! Words like slander are way out of line. I know it's hot, but please keep your cool.

I only smell "magic numbers" there. Rest looks fine.

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:

Discuss it right in this thread.

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

Thanks, but the US is not a market for this program (and probably will never be, but who knows? It's probably as likely as the US converting to metric. 😉 )

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

Well, it was just a guess 🙂

And perhaps don't switch the payment context to Europe (it's free anyway).

With an chromium based edge, all browsers will support modern web standards this problem will cease. Mozilla and others work on support Webassembly besides web/browser. This can became the better version of java (vm) and .net (il).

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!)

"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.

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.

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!

Is there any country in the world, where you can change the rules of using, after you have bought it?

 

I'm guessing... the USA? It's the origin of this silly action, isn't it?

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

I hope nobody builds infinite loops that way...
