In Design Mode (and only in Design Mode, not in Code Editing mode), PASTE into the IDE's F6 Search box with CTRL+V still does not work! The Delphi IDE has been dragging this handicap along for generations. When will Embarcadero do something about it?

WOW!!! That was more than SEVEN YEARS ago! (On a computer scale, that's more than seven centuries) And there are even smart comments about this topic too: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-15403

Do you believe that reports about simple fundamental issues lead to change?

How could a Filter box improve your handling of the Packages in the Install Packages window? Or, to put it negatively: How does the lack of a Filter box complicate your handling of the Packages in the Install Packages window (if there are many Packages in the list)? Everyone professionally dealing with UIs would agree that large lists without the possibility of sorting, searching, or filtering would be considered a nogo. In the Computer Stone Age (CSA), everything was small: screens, icons, text, lists, etc. (The only things that were big were the computer cases and the stacks of punched cards). But hey, we live in the 21st century!

When you DOUBLE-CLICK a .DPR file it means you really want to load that project in the IDE and work with that project. So, it would be sensible to bring the IDE window to the foreground. Tell me a case where this would not be the case.

No - it seems that someone at Embarcadero is not following the rules. Does it flash when you repeat the described scenario? This is a good example of where stubborn adherence to the rules leads to disadvantages in a smooth workflow. It would be possible to define an exception option in the options.

First, I need to confirm that others have this issue too. Only then, when I'm sure a misconfiguration or IDE settings do not cause the problem, I will file a quality Report. So, Is this happening to you, too?

It happens when the IDE is already open but in the background (i.e., not in the foreground, not minimized).

Interesting. They should make the Welcome Page detachable, too (like Tool Panels).

Is it possible to open the Delphi 12 Welcome Page in a separate Window separated from the main IDE window or inside a Browser, as other IDE windows, like the Options, are also shown in a window separate from the main IDE window? This would allow us to make the Welcome Page FullScreen.

Delphi 12 (and previous versions) has a beneficial feature: It is possible to place Tool Panels on a secondary monitor, which is GREAT for productivity. But sometimes, these Tool Panels on the secondary monitor are hidden behind other windows. So, there should be an option to have those Tool Panels show a Taskbar icon when they are located on a secondary monitor. This would allow the user to click a Toolbar icon on the secondary monitor's Taskbar to bring the respective Tool Panel to the foreground. This code shows the icon of a secondary form on the Taskbar: protected procedure CreateParams(var Params : TCreateParams); override; // must be in 'protected' section! implementation procedure TBDSForm.CreateParams(var Params : TCreateParams); // implementation of CreateParams begin inherited CreateParams(Params); // Don't ever forget to do this!!! // This window is displayed as a separate icon in the taskbar: Params.WndParent := Winapi.Windows.GetDesktopWindow; // set this form independent from Main Form end; Would it be possible to implement this as an IDE plugin?

Is the source code of the Delphi 12 BPL available? I would like to provide my own custom content.

What is the added value of this plugin?

In Delphi 12, I've created a new Panel below the Learn Panel: How do I fill the new Panel with my custom content?

Well, clicking the IDE on the main monitor or clicking the IDE's taskbar icon on the main monitor's taskbar most often also brings the Tool Panels on the secondary monitor to the foreground.

The Webinar page 5 hours later still displays:

Please describe your impression - thanks!

Has anybody watched the Webinar?

How many available seats are on the Internet? I had been registered since the webinar announcement. Sadly, Embarcadero did not contact the registered and confirmed participants to inform them that they were excluded.

Unfortunately, it seems the webinar has been canceled!

Installing JCL (https://github.com/project-jedi/jcl) in Delphi 10.4: • \jcl\source\include was not added to IDE Library Path by the installer • jcld27win32.inc file is missing

Has anybody information about Delphi compatibility with Windows 11?

I have added a menu item to the context menu of the Grep Results Context to copy the text selected in the Grep Results source Context: This is very helpful when you quickly need a piece of code from the search results context. Here is the changed source code (based on r3924)) GX_GrepResults.zip

Does anyone have any information about Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria?

Each Application.MessageBox, MessageBox (MessageBox API), MessageDlg show the dialog in the center of the SCREEN. Is it possible to have any of them centered on the Application Form?
