About the compiler (not) finding the DFM files
Ian Branch replied to GabrielMoraru's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Gabriel, Uwe, Yes, it works. I have never played with the .dproj file so I was unsure. FWIW, I have added my support for the idea in the RSS.- 16 replies

Ian Branch replied to GabrielMoraru's topic in Delphi IDE and APIs
Is it valid to do this?? <DCC_ResourcePath>..\lib\Source;D:\MyLib\Source;$(DCC_ResourcePath)</DCC_ResourcePath> To have multiple Resource paths?- 16 replies

GExperts now fixes yet another annoyance in the Delphi IDE: Desktops
Ian Branch replied to dummzeuch's topic in GExperts
Don't know if it is related but my Delphi 12.3 now opens like this instead of full screen on my 4k monitor. 😞 P.S. I restored 4462 and Delphi is back to normal full scren when opening. P.P.S. FYI, I am running two 4k monitors. -
Hi Uwe, I tend to leave the method there in its original place but commented out so that if the test replacement method doesn't work out it is a 'simple' matter to delete the new and uncomment the old. The annoyance being selecting the entire method for some action.
-
Hi Stano, If I collapse it and the ctrl-/ it comments the first line and opens the rest.

Build time affected with an updated component...
Ian Branch replied to Ian Branch's topic in General Help
Hi Uwe, Agreed. I did a source comparison of the two versions and can divine nothing that I could contribute to a build/compilation impact. -
Hi Uwe, Yes I have investigated that one, but I want the whole method, not just the body.
-
Tks. ATT I manually select the whole method then use Ctrl-/. My issue is that with large methods it would be easier if the method could be readily selected, rather than having to manually select from start to finish.
-
Tks. Close ,but not quite. If I comment a method with it, it also comments the declaration in the class. 😞
-
Tks havrlisan. I found that one and at times it will be useful. Sometimes I just want to select the method and comment it out while I try an alternative version of the method.

Hi Team, During development/rework I often need to select a full procedure or function for delection or replacement. Delphi doesn't seem to have the ability. Is there an IDE plug-in that will allow me to select the current procedure in total? I found in 'Select Current Methody Body' in CnPack but it literally only selects the body of the method. Regards & TIA, Ian

By way of impact: Building an App with 1.xx takes 10 secs. Building with 1.yy takes 1m 15s. 😞 -

Ian Branch replied to Ian Branch's topic in General Help
Hi Patrick, Very strange indeed. Just a .bpl to install the component. No. It is slow in both with Debug taking an extra 12 seconds. Probably due to the normal additional Debug code inclusions. Just Windows. Ian -
Hi Team, I am now using Delphi 12.3 but the issue existing when using previous Delphi versions. I have a 3rd Party component installed. No names, no pack-drill. 🙂 With v 1.xx the Apps built in a normal acceptable time. With its replacement, v 1.yy, the Apps build at about 50% slower. You can see the line counter clicking over. If the same, or any other App is withing a Project Group, the Apps build at normal speed. I have eliminated having the 1.50 component being recompiled every time by isolating its .pas file so only the .dcu is visible/available. The .bpl & .dcp are in the correct places and only one of each exists. Any thoughts on why the speed discrepancy when building just the single project/App? If I swap back to v 1.xx, build speed is restored. Regards & TIA, Ian
