    How to manage feature changes during release cycle?

    Edwin Yip replied to Mike Torrettinni's topic in General Help

    I bet you yourself are that friend of your own :D

    I don't know that limit. Do you mean you cannot manipulate the pdf with Pdfium in a background thread even using a legitimate locking mechanism?
  3. Edwin Yip
    ImageEn will be unbeatable if it allows editing and saving of pdf annotations like what you can do with it against images. I had a look at the Pdfium interface, it seems to provide such API.
  4. Edwin Yip
    Thanks for your answer. 1. Do you use Pdfium DLL or .obj files? I prefer the later, if even possible. 2. Do you mean with ImageEn you cannot annotate a pdf at all, or do you mean you can annotate it but cannot modify the annotation after saving it to disk?
  5. Edwin Yip
    Congrats for the new release. I've got several questions if you don't mind: Is the pdf engine based on Pdfium? Can you add pdf annotation such as text, rectangle, and so on to a pdf and save to disk, like you can do with image files with ImageEn? Does it support navigating a pdf file with the hierarchical bookmarks like this: https://www.winsoft.sk/pdfium.png Thanks.

    SynEdit preferred version?

    Edwin Yip replied to MarkShark's topic in Delphi Third-Party

    Dissatisfied #2: Scrolling is quite slow if the text file contains long lines (even the overall file size is small)...

    Thanks. BTW, If you want to use the latest pdfium libs, you must remove all those SetMatrix/GetMatrix functions.

    @Graham Murt, looks good! I wonder if you can share the code that draws the shadows somewhere.

    SynEdit preferred version?

    Edwin Yip replied to MarkShark's topic in Delphi Third-Party

    I've just started using the official github edition and I'm very satisfied so far - well except the word wrapping... I should have used pyscripter's SynEdit-2 if I had a newer compiler ;)

    Edwin Yip replied to Graham Murt's topic in General Help

    There is also Lasse's TPDFiumControl which is based on Andy's PdfiumLib which is in turn based on Google Pdfium (used in Chrome). Basically, PdfiumLib is a Delphi wrapper for Pdfium, but the rendering of pdf is one page at a time, and TPDFiumControl adds a vertical scrollbar. There is also Paul's PdfiumReader (similar to TPdfiumControl that adds vertical scrolling, but uses a custom build of Pdfium dlls), but unfortunately, it's GPL licensed and no other commercial options are available. I found that Pauls' PdfiumReader is much faster when scrolling than TPdfiumControl. That being said, if TPdfiumControl is as fast as PdfiumReader (when scrolling), it'll be perfect.

    Image32 - 2D graphics library (open source freeware)

    Edwin Yip replied to angusj's topic in I made this

    Thanks Angus, I'll check it out! What a vivid colorful looking of the picture! It reminds me the early days of the web 2.0 era where all websites have such vivid colorful looking.

    Image32 - 2D graphics library (open source freeware)

    Edwin Yip replied to angusj's topic in I made this

    Thanks for your continued effort in making Image32 better and better! So I want to use your svg viewer, and would like to make the following changes, and I'm wondering if you accept pull requests (or does sf.net even have a "pull request" feature?)? Change `TBaseImgPanel.fScrollbarHorz : TPanelScrollbar` from private to public, so that I can implement my own key-bindings for panning the image view. Add `OnMouseWheel` event. Make `TBaseImgPanel.ScaleAtPoint` public so that can I implement customized zooming. Basically, I want to change the way how the image's zoomed out/in and panning. Thanks!

    Just tried the Image32's SVG viewer, the rendering result is almost perfect in my eyes! You've done a great job Angus!

    Console Manager for the Delphi IDE

    Edwin Yip replied to darnocian's topic in I made this

    Well done Conrad! Several thoughts (feel free to ignore if any of them doesn't make sense): Like others say, the console IDE extension should get more power by directly embedding cmd.exe or the PowerShell window. Maybe it's more convenient to immediately create a console window for the current project, after clicking the Tools menu item. Hope it helps.

    HTML Office Library: Font Browser Demo

    Edwin Yip replied to Alexander Sviridenkov's topic in Delphi Third-Party

    I have no use but the tech is cool!

    The program in question uses madExcept to intercept and report exceptions. From time to time I got error reports about SQLite DLLs (I use mORMot and I use DLL for a reason) couldn't be loaded. All these error reports have the same characteristic - both the EXE name and the Windows account names are changed: computer name : NIBFGAO55910842 user name : K1dtev0pKEBA0 <admin> executable : wjabrmqkin.exe The EXE date is also strange because it doesn't match my program's version. So I suspect that my program's run in a virtual environment (should be VM-for-program but not VM-for-OS like VirtualBox) on the end-user's system. But I've no clue as to what is that, have you encountered similar issues? And how to avoid the DLL loading issue? Thanks.

    Oh, this is the third time I heard you simply saying "I don't believe you". The first time I heard about that from you is on a stackoverflow question I asked about my Delphi IDE strangely reset my frame sizes after each project reload (or IDE reload), and you said the same thing which I didn't bother to explain more ;)
  19. Edwin Yip
    FYI: Just tested with Sandboxie and it's not the culprit.
  20. Edwin Yip
    Actually I know that custom data can be inserted into madExcept report, but I don't have the user's license included because: For bug reporting you usually don't need that until this strange bug report is submitted... The trial users don't have license info. The inclusion of that info might lead to the need of considerations for compliance with laws like GDPR or something like that.
  21. Edwin Yip
    Hi Kas, Thank you very much for your insightful thoughts, and I think you nailed it! The SQLite DLL is dynamically loaded in my case...
  22. Edwin Yip
    Because the bug reports were submitted through HTTPS and the email address is optional to fill in by the end user and none of them provided the email address...

    Skia4Delphi

    Edwin Yip replied to vfbb's topic in I made this

    Just for comprehensiveness - there is another wrapper here: https://github.com/zhaoyipeng/SkiaDelphi, but it's old.

    Skia4Delphi

    Edwin Yip replied to vfbb's topic in I made this

    Very very very nice! And thanks for your great efforts in providing the Delphi community this powerful 2D library wrapper! Two questions: - What's the most convenient way to obtain the skia dll without building from source? Update: Sorry, I didn't notice the external skia repository since I use TortoiseSVN to checkout github repos, but there is still not any DLL inside that repository... - What's the oldest Delphi compiler supported? Thanks!
