After having uninstalled 10.3 (with the option to keep the registry settings), I started the ISO setup. But at the end of the ISO setup installation again no bds.exe has been created!!! Also, at the end of the ISO setup there was a promise to install the Microsoft SDK: But nothing happened after clicking the Finish button! What now?

One would expect to see this information in the Installation Notes. This creates the impression that the team or the person preparing the new version is rather confused.

Fortunately, I have exported the settings before starting this whole mess. I hope I will be able to clean up the mess by uninstalling 10.3 (hoping the settings have somehow been preserved), and then running the ISO setup again.

Also, this isn't mentioned in the documentation.

Emba's Installation Notes doesn't mention uninstall. So it is sad to learn once more that Emba's documentation is UNRELIABLE. But having an installer which isn't able to SIMPLY install an update over an existing version shows a magnitude of stupidity which is simply extraordinary.

These are the settings from the setup program: According to these settings, the setup program should install RAD Studio. What kind of "setup" program is this? PS: BTW, although I have selected English as the setup language, you can see that parts of the installer instructions are in German. What kind of installer is this? I am really pi**ed off!

GRRRRRR... What kind of JUNK is this? After having executed and finished the setup from the 10.3.3 ISO, NO BDS.EXE is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\20.0\bin!! Is Embarcadero not able to provide a working installer?

Uwe, thank you for your information. Why does Embarcadero use ambiguous terms (and possibly not explain them in the UI)? A user could easily believe that "Upgrade" means upgrading to the new version 10.3.3.

You mean you did not explicitly UNINSTALL the previous version (10.3.2) with the Windows Control Panel before doing the "clean install"?

Why did you not select "Upgrade"?

Do you mean the installer from the ISO?

On the Installation Notes page, I have not found any explicit mention of UNINSTALLING a previous version when UPDATING a PREVIOUS version to the current version 10.3.3. For example, when updating the Delphi IDE from version 10.3.1 to the current version 10.3.3 with the ISO installer (as 10.3.1 had also been installed with the ISO), I suppose that the version 10.3.1 must be UNINSTALLED first (e.g. by using the Windows Control Panel) and select the option to KEEP THE 10.3.1 IDE SETTINGS. Is this correct?

Now working on the r2837 source. • In the Favorite tab, the irrelevant Favorite-list popup menu-items are now automatically hidden if the Favorite list is empty: • StatusBar Hint: • Changed StatusBar popup menu wording: You can download the source here: GX_UsesExpert.zip

I have made some tests: When for example entering "allow no dup" in the Identifiers Filter Search Field then it finds the known Identifier "SNoDuplicatesAllowed" (from the unit Xml.XMLConst.pas). So, this also gives the functionality to use multiple words in the search field! If there are no objections I will implement this (as an OPTION!).

I would like to implement a FUZZY SEARCH option in Uses Clause Manager. This would be particularly useful in the Identifiers Filter Search. Here are a few possibilities: • Delphi SoundEx • ApproxStrUtils: http://www.gausi.de/approxstrutils-en.html I think that ApproxStrUtils would be more useful for this purpose. It contains these functions: ApproxBestAppearance ApproxContainsStr ApproxContainsText ApproxDistance ApproxPos ApproxPosEx ApproxResemblesText Check max min min3 PreProcess_FilterCount SearchBackwards What do you people think?

Per default, the map file is switched OFF in the project options: ... while the option to use the map file is switched ON per default in the UCM configuration: This is INCONSISTENT. Please set the map file per default ON (Segments) in the Project Options. Thank you!

Thanks for the information.

Working on revision [r2843]. Meanwhile, I have implemented Copy this FILE to the clipboard. Here are the sources: GX_UsesExpert.zip

I was thinking about this when I implemented the functionality...

In case you want to do that, just COPY them. But will the popup menus of the lists not become too overloaded?

Good idea.

I too. I used this code: procedure TfmUsesManager.OpenLocationAndSelectAFileInExplorer(const AFilePath: string); // AFilePath may contain spaces begin Winapi.ShellAPI.ShellExecute(Forms.Application.Handle, 'open', 'explorer.exe', PWideChar('/select,"' + AFilePath + '"'), nil, Windows.SW_NORMAL); end; Which code did you use?

Many wordings in Windows IMO are imprecise or outright naive. But for the sake of compatibility, I have changed it to "Open Location of This File". Is this fine for everybody? (In another context, I would have added shell functionality to the StatusBar, but this is not possible here). However, I could add a menu item that displays the Explorer file context menu of the file displayed in the StatusBar. That would be useful in several situations.

This feature does not only open the File Location but also visibly selects the file in File Explorer. So using the wording "open the File Location" could possibly be misleading. What do you think?
