How can I install Delphi without their running servers? What happens when these servers are gone forever for any reason?

Any thoughts about how this should be patched until it's fixed? https://www.delphipraxis.net/1530328-post10.html I have started to receive error reports on that.

I'll go with this, until it's fixed. // D12 caFree patch // https://www.delphipraxis.net/1530328-post10.html // https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-43547 procedure TCForm.WndProc(var Message: TMessage); begin if message.Msg = CM_RELEASE then Dispatch(message) else inherited WndProc(message); end; Let this example stand as a sign of how beneficial it is to always use a common form.

Ok, CM_RELEASE has no job in form's wnd proc, I have to hop to TWinControls WndProc

@Dalija Prasnikar Ok, I see now where the problem is. However, since VisualManager_AcceptMessage is not virtual, the only way to fix that without adding a patched Vcl.Forms to the project is to handle CM_RELEASE without calling the WndProc... As I always use a common form, this should be manageable. I just have to examine what CM_RELEASE should do... let's see. Thank you

404 😉

I no longer receive warnings about unknown custom attributes in Delphi 12. Could there be a compiler directive that went global, perhaps? Moved from 10.2.

Is there an alternative D12 Welcome page available? I find the lack of separation between recent and favorites and the overall design with the love signs to be jarring and reminiscent of a Hello Kitty coloring book.

It went small automatically when I loaded Chuck 🙂

I didn't know what I was missing, thanks, @Lars Fosdal.

Ahhh, now I get it. Thanks!! Much better now!

Thx Lars, the mentioned plugin is better. I just need less colors in that too 😄 But I'm planning a modder plugin for that if nothing happens 😉

Same here, restarted the IDE, now I'm having the warnings. I'll keep an eye on that, I'm not dumb, there were no warnings.

Thank you for this plugin @gkobler. (The Download link is 404 on the English version of the website.) Could you move the icons to resources or over-load them from files if they exist? Or just provide a setting to turn them off? On the occasion, of course.

Download link is 404 on the English version of the page (It's cool that you can have multiple favorite groups... I really like the idea!)

Wow, danke! Wer hat's erfunden? 🙂

Any readings on that? I can't find anything on it, just the annoying otares kept, res discarded messages at compile time.

Yes I did that already.

Why are you asking? Source?

Alright, I'll believe you, for now. But I can't seem to find the string "otares" (other than OTARes...) in any of the emba binaries or the registry (except in the file history), nor can I get Delphi to generate one. I'll consider it to be Nessie's droppings until someone can show me how to make Delphi spit out otareses.

I read that but I still don't get it how the dpk becomes: {$R *.res} {$R *.otares} and then the warning that the latter will be kept and the res will be dropped. This all makes no sense to me.

Is there somewhere in the IDE something which would show me a list about the generated files after a build/compile? I would like to see the full path of every single files, also bpl's, dcp etc... Otherwise I have to write one..

I understand, but it's unnecessary to argue over subjective matters. When migrating dozens of third-party packages to newer IDEs, I find it more efficient to detect configuration errors by observing the compiler's output. However, since I have already implemented a file monitor, there is no longer any need to debate this issue.

https://github.com/bero/DirMonitorDemo + TFileNotifier.BeforeCompile / AfterCompile does the trick. There is some extra noise in the log and only local monitoring, but it's fine.
