We chose GitKraken as GUI, but Fork was runner up. I can't remember what pulled us in direction of GitKraken. 

I think your last statement here:

"We've spent today testing Fork and GitKraken and landed on GitKraken Pro due to the issue tracker integrations and built in GitFlow support - which really simplify doing proper branching for features, fixes and releases. "

I managed to do it. Some information here: 

We changed the border to be more grey (right image) and it was accepted as transparent (unplated) for MSIX installations.

For non MSIX install the left icon is transparent.

@Keesver I used appinstaller and updates are working well (installing and updates without admin elevation) but I didn't managed to show transparent icon on taskbar.

I posted in other thread what I was doing if you have some suggestions:

Strange... if I change the 44x44 logo to have more black, it will show transparent in taskbar.

I discovered this accidentally trying do alter the image to be sure it's the right one.

A little black will not suffice. Something more than 1/3.

@Rafael Dipold have you done something different than in that article? It isn't working for me.

I didn't used Delphi IDE because it's calling makeappx.exe with /f (mapping file) and I used /d (content directory)

I have the same file with two names in Assets: Logo44x44.png and Logo44x44.targetsize-44_altform-unplated.png

The Root folder is every time new created and filled with all necessary files then:

Package creation succeeded.

because this i said "Just compiling is not an issue". If you have all the pieces....

He asked about compiling.

Producing an app for Mac is an other thing.

Compiling / Building does need a Mac, since it uses XCode for the final steps.

Just tried on Delphi 10.1 and building for iOS Device works without a Mac. I suppose building for Mac or in newer Delphi versions also works.

Deploy does not work because there you need XCode.

Just compiling is not an issue because it doesn't need a Mac.

Getting SDKs, debugging, signing, running can be but I don't know what from this is not working,

From docwiki: "macOS Ventura support require RAD Studio 11.3"

The kiss of death.

Apart from I don't see it happening. What would "the VCL" use it for?

Custom Styles? They are so slow now.

But all the time you need to have in mind that Queue will execute code later and avoid using in that code some objects or whatever if there is a chance they will not be there when the code executes.

All the transaction-related code has the usually pattern try..except, having a Rollback in the except block followed by a raise.

I use this construct and this will go well with any exceptions but there is a weakness if the library will not set InTransaction how it should.

try
  StartTransaction;
  ....
  Commit;
finally
  if InTransaction then
    Rollback;
end;

With Windows 11 and Delphi dpi aware? I can reproduce that every time I want.

Windows 11 in VM, scaling 125%, DPI Unaware, but positions are a little other.

I have this space marked with yellow.

Tried with 125% scaling but can not reproduce either.

Delphi 11.3 always rearrange its toolbars with every start. 

The first attached image shows how it should look after I move them to their positions, the second image shows what Delphi 11.3 makes out of it. With every restart of the IDE, I have to rearrange the top toolbars 😞

I am using a 4K monitor with a scaling of 125%.

When I use Delphi DPI unaware, it stays always the same, when I use a monitor scaling of 100%, it always stays the same, but when I use a monitor scaling of 125% on my 4K display, it rearrange the toolbars.

That did not happen in any version below 11.3 (11.0, 11.1, 11.2).

 

I can't reproduce but I didn't touched the default positions. Scaling 150%, DPI Unaware, Light theme.

PS. Now I see that issues are only with monitor scaling between 124% and 130%.....

More than 10% from 12500 installations in last year are Windows 7 and 8

Nowadays we let Windows handle this using an MSIX installer accompanied by an .appinstaller file

But this doesn't work for Windows 7 from what I understand.

This works as long as the the application is installed inside the user profile, not when it gets installed in 'Program files'. 

We used Chrome approach for this and avoided elevation to write in 'Program files'. Elevation is necessary only first time at installation when we create a task in scheduler on the SYSTEM account.

Actually two tasks: one with a day trigger and one with a trigger that can be started from our app at demand.

          b:=Tbitmap.Create;
          b.LoadFromStream(TnxBlobStream(BlobStream)); //line with leak???

 

TBitmap.LoadFromStream() will call TStream.ReadBuffer().

Maybe TnxBlobStream.ReadBuffer() is leaking. Have you checked it?

You can return a record:

TTotalCostResult = record
  TotalCost: Double;
  TotalCostWıthExp: Double;
end;

function GetBomCosts(ItemCode:String): TTotalCostResult;

I'm running my Berlin and even my D2007 in HDPI mode -with some custom expert along- to get a crisp picture and you are using the latest HDPI aware IDE in blurry mode?

What about VCL form designer? There are not things too small?

Then you need to statically link SQLite code in your executable.

UniDAC can do this if you set Direct=True.

@SwiftExpat does FireDAC is doing the same?

- The encryption key contains information of the host machine. The drives will only decrypt on the same host machine.

- So if my notebook dies, I'm basically scr##ed because the VM won't run anywhere else.

Just tried in latest VMware 16 Workstation and my Win 11 VM with Delphi works on other machine.

No workarounds. TPM installed and VM password encrypted.

That means that without Windows SDK, Delphi is working but you can't build MSIX packages. Or there are also other downsides?

Now, when I call the Use Unit form by keyboard shortcut, the focus is not set on the name field, so I have to use mouse to click there. 

This doesn't affect my workflow so I will not report this issue in quality portal.
You can either report it or you will have to live with it.
