So what? There is no ms separator in the "operating system" and you will define it as a dot? Who gives you the right to do so?

/ Displays the date separator character given by the DateSeparator global variable. : Displays the time separator character given by the TimeSeparator global variable. Great! Let's keep the pattern! . Displays the proposed separator character given by the ProposedSeparator global variable. Why would you restrict it for . or decimalseparator? I just can't get it, why would you prefer a hardcoded version (which would be implemented in the same way by the way) by your flavour against an universal version. All the other separators can have any value, even an emoji. What makes this ms separator so unique that we are spending hours to discuss it?

It doesn't matter what it's containing by default, righ now. If you can set it for *ToStr then you have to be able to set it to StrTo* too. And for this reason are the other separators there. There is no string magic needed to try to figure out what would be the time separator in the format string and change it to the decimal searator. Nonsense. It's not even mandatory to look both the same. Without a setting for that separator it's just a mess. Format strings are used for *ToStr and DateSeparator/TimeSpearator/Proposed are used for StrToI*. Why even do we debate over this? It's clear as day. Are you both bored?

Very funny. What about LongTimeFormat then?

I'm not parsng anything. Where did you get the information that I'm parsing anything? Could you cite it please?

Done. Thank you Uwe.

With FormatSettings.LongTimeFormat I can set anything I want, like 'hh:mm:ss,zzz'. Where did you see the hardcoded dot?

No it's not true. It's in the DAC and it fetches with point and converts with decimalseparator. I don't know who to blame, but it's obvious that it would be easy to solve with an extra field in the formatsettings. Thank you. Now you understand my question slowly. Before I'm reporting this, I wanted to ask if it's still the same because I'm also bored reporting things doesn't exists anymore.

So you mean it should be "08:00:00,00000000" in a german environment? And what about a mixed environment? Where I'm getting the values with "." from the database and I do not want to change the decimalseparator of the application?

Wow, well, a shitty design.

Use it as TStringHelper.IsNullOrWhiteSpace() in order to avoid misunderstandings. Your examples are just the side effects of this record helper on the string type.

As we have learned from other highly qualified individuals, VCL has not been abandoned; rather, it was completed a long time ago.

are you gonna start replying on 2 years old comments? could you please leave me out of this?

In short, one of the must haves.

The problem is that you don't even realize whether a human or an AI is serving you, and we will rely on them for more and more decision making.

That's what I was talking about. AI won't kill us in the way you have seen it in the television. It will kill us with wrong answers.

None. It's a language robot. The content is always made up, even if it's accidentally true. I asked to show me the implementation of TListDataSet and it was like ListDataSet: TClientDataSet;

I believe he has a good understanding of the topic, he just needs some additional ideas to consider.

perhaps the write cache is full turn it off manually, measure the write speed, calculate

Hey, you forgot the "Retry" button. Also, getit has a nice log file hidden in ProgramData.

Why are you asking?

By the way, I don't know how the current versions are , I'm still on Berlin, but I'd be very disappointed if one of the newest version would just update my 2007 installation 😉 And with that siad, I would not ask them to make two separate installers, one for update one for standalone.
