You install them as any other component. First you compile the runitme packages then the designtime and install them.

You can find an answer at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF417, use only A-Z.

If nobody files a bug report, there will be no fix.

If you enter a bug report without a test case they will close it as works as expected, I've been there a couple of times. Even if you submit a reproducible case the bug can stay opened for a decade.

I sometimes also get a bug that the selected property shows a value of a different property. I cannot enter a bug report as it's impossible to find out when that can happen. Also search in D12 is working even worse than in Delphi 11.2, here also I have had no time to create an example.

I hope we can get a fix for some issues soon as we're moving to beta phase of our application.

In my opinion It's not a standard Delphi file, you've installed something that creates them. I am using VCL and tried to create an empty fmx file none has produced a file with a dsv extension.

In order to work with jpg image format you must add the  jpeg unit to your uses.

IF you add a TImage named imgName then you can write:

imgName.Picture.LoadFromFile('D:\Delphi_11_Community\MyProjects\Dinobase\dino_images\'+ sName + '.jpg');

Please post this as an issue on QP.

How? It's broken for days (there is a thread on this forum, you get an: Error creating issue: Could not load FunctionProvider class).

Do not try the formatter in source where you've multiline string. They should deprecate also the IDE editor it can't cope with the code. I've a section in my code that I cannot edit inside the IDE (a class with inner types).

Why does the Quality Portal have so many errors and shortcomings, like a very narrow report editor?

I believe that's the part of the new Embarcadero policy. 0 bugs in Delphi 12 due to the fact that we  cannot report any new bugs.

Open a second connection to the database and fill the required fields. Here locate is your friend.

You should read more carefully the error message. You to open the query using the open method of the TFDQuery instead of ExecSQL.

Double click on the FDConnection to open the FireDAC Connection Editor.

  while not SQLQuery1.Eof do
  begin
    currentLine := '';
	for i := 0 to sqlQuery1.fieldcount-1 do
  	  currentLine := currentLine + ' ' + sqlQuery1.fields[i].asString;
     memOutput.Lines.Add(currentLine);
     SQLQuery1.Next;
   end;

The above code doesn't require the Stringlist to iterate the fields of the query.

To add a database the documentation states it should be a form of (https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Using_SQLite_with_FireDAC):

Database=<path to SQLite database>

While you've tried: 

SQLConnection1.Params.Add('D:Delphi 11 Community\My Projects\Connecting to SQLite\Data\dat2.sqlite');

You should do

SQLConnection1.Params.Add('Database = ');  append here the real path to the database.

I believe instead of MemOutput.ClearSelection you wanted MemOutput.Clear.

Good idea, but I do have it on the Library Path.  

The windows have to find the bpl (dll) to load it and it doesn't know about the library path.

you've to add the folder to the path.

A warning Canvas.TextWidth is valid only during painting, otherwise it's not guaranteed that the canvas has the correct font assigned. To be sure you can use https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Sydney/en/Vcl.Graphics.TCanvas.RequiredState.

If you want to compare against file mask you should use https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/System.Masks.MatchesMask.

For example:

uses
   System.Masks;

procedure TMainForm.TestClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if MatchesMask(edText.Text, EdPattern.Text) then
    lbData.Insert( 0, 'True' )
  Else
    lbData.Insert( 0, 'False' );
end;

A short answer is that *.pas is not a regular expression.  In this case:  *   The asterisk indicates zero or more occurrences of the preceding element. For example, ab*c matches "ac", "abc", "abbc", "abbbc", and so on.

How do you get the CE version of 12 ?

You can expect Delphi CE 12 in 2024 or 2025.

The bad news with this change is that the sk4d.dll is not compatible with the dll used by earlier version of delphi. This new version is by default on the path and can cause access violation with older versions of Delphi (for example if SVGIconImageList is installed).

Could you explain better what I should do? Thank you

In my case I've renamed the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\23.0" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\!23.0" started Delphi 11.2 Closed it, renamed back the folder since then I can start both versions.

I have had something similair. The solution was to  rename the D12 folder started Delphi 11.2 and after that I can start both of them.

f you or anyone knows of which windows service is responsible for the windows beep, please tell me so that I can go in an re-enable it. TIA 

This is off topic but you can try https://appuals.com/how-to-disable-beeping-on-errors-on-windows-7-8-and-10/. Maybe you did: sc stop beep && sc config beep start= disabled

If you really have to you can use SMAPI.  You can find a code from @Attila Kovacs here:
