Seems you didn't look close enough: ModelMaker IDE Integration Expert Mind the note:

I do! I actually blogged about it: Do you know Build Groups? There you can find instructions to solve your problem.

My approach to these types of problems is to add a record helper for the enumeration that handles the conversion from and to Integer. type TDDArrangementId = (daOutstanding, daWeeklyGap, daAmount, daGapAmount); TDDArrangementIdHelper = record helper for TDDArrangementId private function GetAsInteger: Integer; procedure SetAsInteger(const Value: Integer); public property AsInteger: Integer read GetAsInteger write SetAsInteger; end; function TDDArrangementIdHelper.GetAsInteger: Integer; begin Result := Ord(Succ(Self)); end; procedure TDDArrangementIdHelper.SetAsInteger(const Value: Integer); begin Self := TDDArrangementId(Pred(Value)); end; The usage would then look like this: var myVar: TDDArrangementId; begin myVar.AsInteger := 1; Assert(myVar = daOutstanding); Inc(myVar); Assert(myVar = daWeeklyGap); Assert(myVar.AsInteger = 2); end.

Which Delphi version?

Well, it does. Binary is just - binary, whatever encoding was inside that binary is preserved. All text formats are stored in the encoding you select.

File a QP report.

The menu entry has been moved to View - Editor.

You are working too much...

You simply cannot. If that were possible, the NTFS handling wouldn't have to be implemented in the first place.

Binary shows the file content as hex values and you can even edit it. Dropping f.i. a dcu file into the editor makes it pretty clear.

It depends on whether the drive is formatted as NTFS or FAT32. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/file-times

Instead of posting all these messages here without any comment or question, you should better directly file a report at https://quality.embarcadero.com/ Honestly, what do you expect us to do with all this?

FCaptionsAdded is created in procedure NewStrings, which itself is calle in CreateWnd. The loading process happens way before the window is created, so there is no instance of FCaptionsAdded during loading. Best is to create all instances of the fields inside the class in its Create routine and free them in Destroy.

Me too. Perhaps showing your code can shed some light on it.

The Community Edition in regard to features and limitations is equal to a Professional Edition. The explicit CE restrictions are the version number and the revenue limit or the limit of five developers in the company. One should note that the term revenue means the overall revenue of the company, not only the revenue the company makes with Delphi programming. Anyway, if you are unsure in the details it might be better to ask Embarcadero directly.

That should be read as: "The CE license is always valid for the most recent CE version." It means, you can't use it for a previous CE version.

Version V15.0.37 of MMX Code Explorer introduces Structured Difference Viewer (former available as a separate product). It is registered as an External Difference Viewer in the IDE and can be used as an alternative way to compare source files.

Yes. Command line options are: -S select structural diff (default) -F select file diff -D:<Delphi version> selects language mode. Accepted values: 10, 10.1 .. 10.5 (yeah, I know) for Seattle to Alexandria <left file> <right file> Indeed, that is an oversight. It tries to open mmsdvmanual.pdf, but I couldn't get a copy from Gerrit as I had hoped. I will disable that entry in the next release until some documentation is available.

Indeed - and it is intended.

That depends on the actual use case. The supported target platforms for 10.4 are listed here: Supported Target Platforms As CE is for free it is somehow expected to having drawbacks compared to a paid version.

Can you create a QP entry, please?

After getting tired of clicking the wrong one, I created some simple taskbar icons for Delphi with an apparent version shown. Currently there are icons for Delphi 10 Seattle Delphi 10.1 Berlin Delphi 10.2 Tokyo Delphi 10.3 Rio Delphi 10.4 Sydney Delphi 11 Alexandria This is an example for Delphi 11: And this is what my taskbar now looks like: All these icons are available on GitHub: https://github.com/UweRaabe/DelphiIcons

Does anyone know what must be done to connect a Delphi 10.4.2 FireDAC application for MacOS (High Sierra and up) to a MySQL server? The docs are probably a bit outdated still referencing an x86 client.

@Dmitry Arefiev Thanks, Dmitry! I did that and placed the file directly into the app folder. Renamed it to libmysqlclient.dylib (first tried with the corresponding link dylib) and started a simple test program. Unfortunately it still claims that it cannot load this dylib or the two alternative ones. I can see in the debugger that the SafeLoadLibrary call fails.
