Time without time zones are like numbers without units. Like the numbers on the street. (30) I always interpret them as weight limits.

Did you check if Boca Systems provide a PCL driver? Or is it the opposite way? Not much support from boca. And the Text Driver they have is not a WYSIWYG.

it's a 2 min copy&paste task from the link above, I can't see why would anyone reinvent the wheel just to avoid using the json library? Is it for some embedded computer?

easy af, like in this article: https://www.fmxexpress.com/convert-ini-files-to-json-and-back-with-xsuperobject-in-delphi-xe6-firemonkey-on-android-and-ios/

And I guess, you are expecting something from us, we can't deliver. Yes. It's even better. In the case "very well" and "even better" are SI units.

I can't see any technical questions regarding to your fears. All I can see is some sort of blogging about some mind-blowing nonsense and that you are not even willing to read a word about it. I don't know how could we help. Or why.

Why are you interested by something doesn't interest you?

Sometimes, before I can make my decision in a particular matter (not programming) I do google/read/watch/test for days or for a week or once in a time even longer. If you would use the time for the same instead of this kind of nonsense topics, you would have more of it. We too.

do you want to talk about it? 😉

I don't believe you!

Ok, I thought the Per-App scaling would be ok for the icons. However other things could be broken, like grids.

@c0d3r which windows do they have? Is there Per-App Scaling already available?

A 4K display is also a change, but I can feel your pain. Maybe you could make it optional, to switch to a new icon set. Especially on HDPI.

as I mentioned, the scaling is upward and the actual size is about the same, so the vector image scaled will look even better, but maybe my eyes are not working properly and you are right or whatever, please try to convience me that i'm not just dumb but I can't see shit.

@Anders Melander That is not an svg issue, it's a general problem. I solve this by trying multiple candidates on the smallest dimension I need and choose the best one. Or many times editing it to get the best out of it. For example, wrong dimensions defined in the SVG could result a blurry small image, meanwhile by adjusting it will give a crisp image etc... Nobody told you it's easy and fun! But it has to be made only once!

@David Heffernan I don't, but I have one master main svg-imagelist and two client svg-imagelists chained to it, all three having different dimensions. As the scaling is always upward (or none), and so is the resolution there are no regressions I encounter or I could think about. You have to be more specific about your concerns.

It is right for the icons and it is the way, and it is hard to find an svg provider which has a wide range of icons with the same drawing-style to cover every needs. But the result makes a difference.

this sounds familiar to me 😉

After X hours the admins are carving them into stones 😉

Project Options -> Delphi Compiler -> Hints and Warnings -> Output warnings -> "Duplicate constructor/destructor with identical parameters will be inacessible from C++" -> False did the trick. (Note the typo in the IDE)

I'm curious how would you write values to a "record" without knowing its implementation details. Through parsing and validating its class operators? Anyway, if you look after "delphi rtti record fields", you will find plenty of hits how to do it. It's pretty simple.

Nullable<> is a record, you have to get its (record)value, do your job on it (assign the values to this fetched record), then write it back to the field/property.

Hey, wasn't an offense, I'm totally fine with it!
