So why did you post this message? It is logically inconsistent.

You are correct, as the so-called "Menu Designer" only manages references to the TMenuItem objects of a TPopupMenu in the same way the Actions List Editor does not display Actions but refers to a List of TAction objects. But then they should not call it "Menu Designer" but MENU CONSTRUCTOR. But wouldn't a REAL Menu Designer that shows the MenuItem icons be great? Or is this beyond the capabilities of the Embarcadero development team? Thomas: wink-wink...

You are right. Even cavemen never used cars until one of them invented the wheel.

I use both. In neither case are the icons shown in the Menu Designer. Why are you asking?

Do you mean it was negligence by the IDE programmers at Embarcadero?

Do you mean it is not impossible in principle? (Maybe there is a fundamental law of physics that forbids showing an icon in the Menu Designer?) 😎

I have built GExperts [r4257] in Delphi 12.1 with the RELEASE build configuration (the default preset is the Debug build configuration). Is there a performance advantage of the release configuration over the debug configuration?

When you select an object in the FormDesigner Structure Panel, its visibility is very good when the FormDesigner Structure Panel is focused. But when the FormDesigner Structure Panel loses focus, the selection of the object becomes barely visible: Please compare the two colors. Can anyone confirm this?

An error is also a "technically correct behavior," as the IDE, in that case, does not deliver the result expected by the user, i.e., working in a rational and efficient way.

I HAVE created one. But it was closed with the response: "Works as expected" (!)

So maybe it's also related to the SVN issue. Making the behavior of a compiled executable dependent on something that is not in the source is simply IRRATIONAL. That would be the same as making the behavior of the executable dependent on the weather at the compile time.

The IDE Splash screen always shows the same GExperts version number: Wouldn't it be helpful to show the current source version, too? (Currently: [r4257]), and the date of the source snapshot.

So you should include an explicit warning: "WARNING: If you download the snapshot and compile the DLL from that source then no revision number will be shown in the Splash Screen!" Maybe you could also include a SKULL ICON ☠️ in the warning.

What has the SVN revision number to do with the source revision number? If someone downloads the source not with SVN but directly from the snapshot, as indicated in the above screenshot, then no SVN revision number can be retrieved. So, you should output the revision number in the Splash Screen by retrieving it directly from the source (and not from SVN).

Did anyone already run the Delphi IDE on the brand new Microsoft Surface Pro ("CoPilot+PC") with Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM CPU + Integrated Neural Processing Unit ("NPU")? Apparently, the Copilot AI could optionally watch my programming in the IDE and give me real-time suggestions and error corrections about the code I am writing (or optionally write the code for me according to my specifications)!

That is good news.

The build scripts don't work - they showed an error. That's why I'm building in the IDE. Strangely, AFTER having built the project in the IDE, the build script succeeded: \gexperts-code-r4257-trunk\Projects\DelphiXx120\__Build_Project.cmd

Yes, you are right; this seems to be a bug. The Splash Screen shows: GExperts Version 1.3.24 build 0 Downloaded from:

Isn't that certificate only for websites? He needs a certificate for signing executables.

I am exporting this source code by using the excellent GExperts Source Exporter: I am using this export mode, and then click the Copy button, which copies the selected source code to the clipboard: In a post on https://www.blogger.com, in Compose view, I paste the clipboard content: Then, I select the inserted text and use the command "Text background colour": This creates the following result: However, only the text characters have a dark background. But I want the whole paragraph to have a dark background. (It should look exactly as in the Delphi Source Code Editor). How can I achieve this? I have tried tugging the HTML code for many hours but to no avail.

Setting the color in the pre-tag still sets the background color for the characters and not for the whole paragraph. Even the method described by paoloamoroso does not work for me.

Fortunately, I am not a freak who collects IDEs like other people collect stamps. 😉 I just use the 12.1 version for my current development needs.

The installation would consist of two steps: 1. Clean installation of a new VM on Silicon 2. Transfer of data from the old VM on Intel to the new VM on Silicon

I assume you're not engaged in illegal activities. 😇

I am sure this step can be automated.
