Don't know what you expect, but here it closes the current tab containing the CPU view.

That's one reason why I don't work with packages installed by GetIt. Despite some efforts since the first appearance, it is still a half baked solution and not suitable for my environment and the way I work.

Can you attach a small example showing the problem? Just to rule out it is somehow bound to your system only? That would also be helpful for a bug report.

Perhaps it helps to delete the .dsk file of the project and/or project group.

Well, they do here:

VersionShelf servers are located in Germany, which is mandatory for some companies over here for enforcing the German data protection laws. I doubt that Perforce can guarantee that.

If you are sharing the sources only inside your company, a local server is indeed a valid solution. I my case I am sharing sources with different customers, where a local server hosted in my intranet is almost out of scope (or comes with a lot of maintenance need). Therefore I prefer hosted servers that can be reached 24/7 from outside my place. What makes it a bit complicated is the restriction that some customers require the data to reside in Germany or at least the EU (while the latter turns out to be a moving target these days). This is why I recently asked in the German sibling of this forum about setting up a Kallithea instance (I am still fond of Mercurial - despite the crowd either stays with SVN or moved to Git. Hey, I am doing Delphi! What did you expect? Running with the majority?). Unfortunately (or better thankfully) that died during the first steps going to get it running. The only service I currently know of that satisfies all these requirements is Versionshelf by Shelf Cloud. Although, they don't offer a free account.

Yes, also to my knowledge that is the way to go. After a year, you will usually get a new version, which requires the installation of the components anyway. It is just that 10.3 will probably outlive that one year limit before the 10.4 release. Definitely Plans have been different one year ago. BTW, you are not forced to clean the registry when uninstalling (the uninstaller will ask). That will keep your components and settings in place. At the end there is still the migration tool to save and restore settings.

Well, you didn't actually ask them, did you?

IIRC, Embarcadero Germany offers a 30% for discount Enterprise until the end of November, too. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Because "Upgrade" means entering another serial number to upgrade f.i. from Professional to Enterprise.

I am not sure about the ISO installer, but the Web Installer also removes Rio before installing the new version. At least it asks you to confirm before doing so. Perhaps the ISO installer requires you to do that manually.

So, when did you get that serial number and when did install the CE with that serial number for the first time? IIRC, all CE serial numbers are only valid for one year.

AFAIK the CE will always be the latest available release. So if you get a brand new CE today you should get 10.3.3 - at least that is what the Feature Matrix suggests.

At the end it boils down to the question: Does it work for me or does it not? The answer obviously depends on the one who asks. That's why I am not going to suggest the formatter for everyone. On the other hand, just because it doesn't work for some people doesn't mean that I have to use another tool for myself, too.

As I said, it heavily depends on the coding style. I would never do this. The last time I wrote this kind of stuff was about Turbo Pascal 4 or so. I would declare explicit types for these records. Even if they are only used locally.

I am working with the integrated formatter without significant problems. Perhaps my coding style fits better than others. For those cases where the results are not to my liking I have found some workarounds, Nevertheless, I would prefer when Embarcadero would deliver the sources for the formatter. There is always room for improvement.

Yes. The command line application is named MMT_UDA. It expects at least the file name of the dependency project (.mmdep) and the report type (-uses, -cycles or -ldp). For LDP reports the output file name is taken from the .mmdep, but for other reports you must specify that name as a third parameter.

I have no CE, but it works in Enterprise.

Here you can lookup the Linus requirements: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/ELC/53/en/Installing_AppWave_Enterprise_License_Center#Linux.C2.AE_Requirements

I guess it is meant for different VMs using the same Windows license.

AFAIK is the IDE license bound to the machine name only. I often move Delphi VMs to other drives without any problems. There must have happened something inside the VM to trigger this.

Well, it is only a fraction of the cost for my next one.

Can't you habe empty components for both types that you can refer to?

The colon in the time zone offset seems to be optional, while the Delphi implementation requires it. I suggest creating a QP entry with a test case showing the problem. A failing test case often increases the probability for a quick fix.
