Based on my own results and consistent with what I read on https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-42424, The Correct order is: begin GlobalUseMetal := True; // <-- should appear before Application.Iniialize; Application.Initialize; HTH, Navid

Hi: I noticed that using Delphi/VCL (Alexandria 11.3) under Windows ARM via Parallels on macOS Ventura, I cannot get menu or action list accelerator keys to show or function (defined using ampersand, e.g. "&Open...", the underscore does not show even when pressing the alt key, and pressing alt-O sounds an error bell). Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Thanks in advance, Navid

OK - silly me - it was somehow being blocked by Dragon Speech ...

Hi: I am using RAD Studio 11.3 on Windows ARM running on Apple Silicon/macOS Ventura via Parallels. I am trying to set up my custom packages (mostly written by myself) that under Windows are in the Documents/Embarcadero/Studio/ subdirectory. Parallels conveniently shares the home directory between Windows and macOS that makes sharing common files (Lisp, C, Python, Delphi) easier. Can anyone confirm that with a setup like mine, adding a library path to Tools → Options... → Language → Delphi → Library → Browsing Path such as: \\Mac\Home\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\Virtual-TreeView causes the IDE to choke and need to be shut down via task manager? Many thanks to everyone in this great community!

Thank you for your post. The problem does not appear to be related to performance when scanning a shared Parallels directory. The performance when building large projects saved on the shared home directory is comparable to native Windows machines with i-9 processors and SSD drives. I think the problem lies in that the IDE does not recognize the shared directory browsing path at all.

Looks like the issue has been resolved: Apple resolved M1 Mac SSD wear reporting issue in macOS 11.4

Hello: Using Alexandria 11.1, installing TSynEdit via GetIt will not allow compilation due to a missing SynHighlighterMulti.pas file. Replacing the file with what I could find online caused additional problems (seems it was suited for Lazarus/FPC). I then cloned the sources from the GitHub repository, but I can still not compile following the readme file's directions due to the errors below. Any help/directions would be hugely appreciated. Thank you for reading!

Yes

I allowed the ISO installer to uninstall 11.1. The 11.2 installation process went smoothly. However, I got all manner of access errors trying to start 11.2. Uninstalled and the ISO installer switched to web install (which I have never used for any version). Uninstalled and removed everything manually, now I'm three hours into another "web install" that I worry might again not work...
