Strange text artifacts in Uses Clause Manager
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in GExperts
What has DPI and screen resolution to do with these artifacts in the Uses Clause Manager? That looks like superimposed texts. No other IDE part shows these artifacts. -
Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria?
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Does this mean that there will be no more Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria? -

Has anyone stated that there is a NEED to write EMB? I answered David Schwartz's excellent comment where he talked about specific Delphi sufferings. So you should redirect your complaint to him. -

Thanks for the extensive Delphi history. I do refactoring only with MMX. In my opinion, Delphi programs suffer mainly from the old-fashioned STATIC LAYOUT reminiscent of DOS programs: if you change the font size of the main form in a Delphi application, the layout of the entire program collapses and becomes unusable. What Delphi needs most are DYNAMIC UI layouts. Example: Responsive web design in HTML. -

Can you base your fanciful assumption on anything substantial? -
Floating Form Designer option gone in Delphi Alexandria?
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
This is very strange: There are TWO versions of the same topic page: -
Floating Form Designer option gone in Delphi Alexandria?
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
I believe they have a certain economic pressure to release a number of new features for each new version. But at the same time, maybe they don't have the resources to thoroughly test these new features. So I see a two-fold problem: First, the economic pressure is part of the general economic situation in the US which is characterized by impending hyperinflation. On the other hand, a better allocation and distribution of resources may help. -
Floating Form Designer option gone in Delphi Alexandria?
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Thanks for googling, but this only reveals wrong Embarcadero design decisions: While the Floating Form Designer in previous IDE versions was PERSISTENT between sessions (meaning that the Floating Form Designer was saved as a part of the IDE Desktop and being restored after an IDE restart) this is not the case in Delphi 11 Alexandria and it still has bugs: Select a TButton control in the floating second editor showing the Form Designer, then focus the button in the Structure panel, then focus the embedded editor showing the Code Editor, then select the Button Event handler in the Object Inspector and double-click it and you get this error message: This means that the communication between the Editors does not work. This means that this whole feature of the "Second Editor" has not been tested and is HALF-BAKED and IMMATURE. Why do they release such half-baked features? -

Thank you for WUPPDI! We are waiting with excitement. -
wuppdi Welcome Page for Delphi 11 Alexandria?
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Unfortunately, the native Delphi WelcomePage in Delphi 11 Alexandria still does not have any functionality for creating custom folders like in WUPPDI. Is it possible to edit the source of the native Embarcadero WelcomePage? -

Parnassus Bookmarks for Delphi 11 Alexandria?

Do you mean the MINIMAP? That is a feature of advanced text editors like UltraEdit: A reduced preview of the entire text. -

Once you get used to it, you can't do without these plugins. I hope they will also add a single keyboard shortcut to show the Bookmarks panel. -
Delphi 11 Alexandria: New Edit Window

I admit that my conclusion is subjective (just like yours). I should have said: "In the current form it is useless for me". -
Error when closing IDE after having installed GExperts in Alexandria
PeterPanettone posted a topic in GExperts
After having installed GExperts in Delphi 11 Alexandria I always get this error message when closing the IDE: This happened also in the previous versions of the IDE. -
Error when closing IDE after having installed GExperts in Alexandria
PeterPanettone replied to PeterPanettone's topic in GExperts
The error still persists. Clicking OK on the error message does not help - the error message just returns in an infinite loop. -
The Add Method dialog still seems a desperate attempt to pack as many things as possible into the smallest possible space like in a tuna can: Please give them controls more room. There is no need to SQUEEZE everything. Please INCREASE THE WIDTH of the dialog. No one is forcing you to squeeze everything together. Thank you!

Add Method dialog layout in Delphi 11 Alexandria

People's tastes are just different: some love canned tuna, others prefer chef's menus. -
