Even if it's not your intention, it's still considered shouting, because nobody but you knows your intention.

Svn also works fine for Github repositories, as long as you don't try to commit or use externals. Also, pull requests don't work. If I remember correctly, the URL is the same.

You might be thinking of my KnownIdePackagesManager Tool for Delphi, but that only handles IDE packages, not component packages. It should be easy to exend it to do that too, though.

I'm afraid recursive hardlinks word result in an infinite loop right now.

As I said: It's proof that it could be done by a plugin. I didn't say it does it. But you could get the source code and that functionality.

It could be done by a plugin, see the cnwizards advanced syntax highlighting. It may even already support it, I haven't checked.

My impression is that there are very few people left from the original Jedi group. I know for sure that I personally stopped contributing when the project moved to Github, but my contributions were merely a few bug fixes, so they don't really count in the big picture.

The CPU sitting at 13% probably means that something is using one core at 100%. So I would not subscribe to this view: Have you tried to disable all IDE extensions to check whether it is caused by one of these?

Just in case anybody is still interested: I have changed the GExperts Convert Strings Editor Expert to allow for prefixes and suffixes for all lines. Example: I want to create a string containing this code: function FindClassForm(const AClassName: string): TForm; var i: Integer; s: string; begin Result := nil; s := 'Some String'; for i := 0 to Screen.FormCount - 1 do if Screen.Forms[i].ClassNameIs(AClassName) then begin Result := Screen.Forms[i]; Break; end; end; Which means: Quote the lines and escape any existing quotes Add a variable assignment as prefix to the first line Add a " " prefix to all lines to indent the whole thing add a " + #13#10" suffix to each line but the last add a ";" suffix to the last line. The result looks like this: s := 'function FindClassForm(const AClassName: string): TForm; ' + #13#10 'var ' + #13#10 ' i: Integer; ' + #13#10 ' s: string; ' + #13#10 'begin ' + #13#10 ' Result := nil; ' + #13#10 ' s := ''Some String''; ' + #13#10 ' for i := 0 to Screen.FormCount - 1 do ' + #13#10 ' if Screen.Forms[i].ClassNameIs(AClassName) then begin ' + #13#10 ' Result := Screen.Forms[i]; ' + #13#10 ' Break; ' + #13#10 ' end; ' + #13#10 'end; '; There is no release for this yet, but you can always get the sources and compile your own dll: https://blog.dummzeuch.de/gexperts-documentation/compiling-gexperts/

The code is now in dzlib (see blog post for links).

It's not only git which uses this kind of annotations. svn and probably many other SCMs do too. So how can it be that somebody commits stuff like this? One option for dealing with this kind of stupidity is setting up a continous build server and slapping everybody who commits stuff that does not compile. But this requires somebody with authority to do the initial slapping.

That's one reason I have switched "my" license to using a license server. No problem with having to increase the registration count any more. I wonder what will happen to my maintenance only version (10.3.1) if the maintenance runs out. Currently I am getting a warning. I theory it should continue to work because I got it while maintenance was active.

Before I reinvent the wheel: Has anybody used the XKeys PIEHid32.dll from Delphi? The API functions aren't very complicated but there is of course still room for errors when converting the C header files to Delphi. A quick Google search did not turn up anything usefull.

By "Google SVN", do you mean Google Code? If yes, it should have been archived. The Vitual Shell Tools for example are here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/mustangpeakvirtualshelltools/source/default/source (and there are multiple forks on GitHub) But I could not find any trace of UltraExplorer there.

Can anybody currently log into quality.embarcadero.com ? I'm getting the login form, but login fails. I received a question regarding one of my bug reports but I can't answer without login.

Worked for me too now. Thanks.

Yes, in particular it's the 24 keys variant I am accessing (directly, not via keyboard or mouse emulation): https://xkeys.com/xk24.html

OK, I have now translated the C headers to Delphi. Works fine, but the API has some quirks.

When I decide to use code generated controls, I usually start with visually designed controls anyway and later on convert these controls to code with the GExperts Components to code expert. But mostly I simply go with the visually designed forms, even if it mostly duplicates some form. Unless there is a lot of duplicated code I don't care.

Does the Community Edition even include these subscription only updates?

If I remember correctly, this topic has been discussed before and the admins have explained their reasons for these restrictions. Try searching the forum.

Please file a bug report.

I have just updated the Delphi Custom Container Pack sources to support Delphi 10.3 Rio. This time it required than creating the packages for the new version and adding the latest version of the Delphiversions.inc file. When loading the designtime package an EAssertionFailed exception ... https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2018/12/29/delphi-custom-container-pack-updated-for-delphi-10-3-rio/

With the price for Professional rising the way it does, it feels like I'm on enterprise already. I was pleasantly surprised I got the mobile add-on without paying an arm and a leg though.

Hooking events in the Delphi IDE is dangerous, as you never know whether there already is another plugin that uses the same event. I tried to describe a way to make that process a little bit safer and blogged about it: https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2016/03/28/safe-event-hooking-for-delphi-ide-plugins-revisited/ But it's not just other plugins you must be wary about. New versions of the IDE might also start using previously unused events. E.g. Delphi 10.3 is now using the previously unused Screen.OnFormChanged event, but only within the Options dialog. This broke some of the GExperts enhancements to this dialog and those dialogs opened from there, in particular those for the path edit dialog.
