You had to make me open it again, thanks 😉 As far as I can tell, this would be: DevExpress, ImageEn, TRichView, SynEdit. See screenshot:

I "hope" that I have a world record with a fantastic 2 minutes and 51 seconds to show the standard action list (for your sanity, you can fast forward most of the video): https://we.tl/t-iC5uIavpK7 This was done without a safety net using Delphi 12 patch 1 in a VM with plenty of memory, disk space and processing power. Can someone beat me ? 😎 Embarcadero employees and/or Delphi enthusiasts are free to use that video, should they care to file a report. I've already spent way too much time on this to even bother looking for, registering to, and learning how to properly use the latest usable web site to report this problem. Meanwhile, I sincerely hope that I've added all the standard actions that I need in my app to avoid opening this dialog again 🤞

I can confirm this problem with a large number of standard actions added by third-party components such as ImageEn, TRichView actions... Very annoying and almost unusable, even for cat and dog owners 😉

I'm wondering if there is some workaround to this problem I frequently have. My test project's DPR looks like this: program tests; {$IFNDEF TESTINSIGHT} {$APPTYPE CONSOLE} {$ENDIF} {$STRONGLINKTYPES ON} uses System.SysUtils, {$IFDEF TESTINSIGHT} TestInsight.DUnitX, {$ELSE} DUnitX.Loggers.Console, DUnitX.Loggers.XML.NUnit, // <-- This line is removed from time to time by Delphi IDE {$ENDIF } DUnitX.TestFramework, // [...] But every time I add a new unit to that project and save it, the Delphi IDE decides to remove this line, and only this one: DUnitX.Loggers.XML.NUnit Is that a known problem ? Is there some workaround ? I'm using Delphi 12 Patch 1 with TestInsight 1.2.0.6

Indeed, I own a certificate and nothing is prohibiting me from adding a virus / spyware /adware or anything harmful whenever I want. You mentioned the sponsored version of FileZilla which seems to include some questionable content: some anti-viruses seem to treat it as harmful, while others seem to report it as Adware. It doesn't matter if it has been signed or not. Regarding to the importance of a code signing certificate, it depends how you plan to distribute your application and your target audience: Windows will try to discourage people from installing applications which are not signed, and some people such as myself, will hardly if not ever (without extra precautions such as VMs) run any non-signed EXE software. You have access to plenty of documentation about the benefits of code signing online: https://www.digicert.com/signing/code-signing-certificates Your choice!

The URL is https://download.filezilla-project.org/client/FileZilla_3.66.5_win64_sponsored2-setup.exe So perhaps this is the reason ?

Alternatively, your UI seems to be very similar to a table/grid layout so you could potentially use a grid component with support to input fields such as combo boxes. Those grids are usually highly optimized to handle thousands of rows with various data types and input options. They usually allow the dynamic instantiation of input controls (such as combo boxes) when a row is actually being edited to save resources. I highly recommend DevExpress' ExpressQuantumGrid: https://docs.devexpress.com/VCL/171093/ExpressQuantumGrid/vcl-data-grid Or their ExpressVerticalGrid: https://docs.devexpress.com/VCL/403720/ExpressVerticalGrid/concepts/vcl-vertical-grid Both of which I extensively use for this kind of tasks.

Hi, Just a heads up, I've just received an update e-mail for my RemObjects DataAbstract subscription which is due to expire in 30 days and I couldn't believe that it went up from $599 (amount paid for many years) to $999 without any explanation whatsoever: https://www.remobjects.com/shop/renew.aspx I hope that this will help other RO/DA customers budget their future updates.

I can confirm that but once integrated, it is very stable, frequently updated with lots of unit tests! I highly recommend DWScript.

If I'm not mistaken, DevExpress VCL has a similar component, called "Alert Window Manager": https://docs.devexpress.com/VCL/403745/ExpressEditors/vcl-editors-overview#alert-window-manager

Congrats! Fantastic work to both of you. Thank you. Even though it is high above my knowledge, it is a pleasure following this thread between @Jan Rysavy and @Anders Melander. I'm glad that such knowledgable people are still part of the Delphi community and hope that this project will get sponsored by Embarcadero somehow. Thanks again.

nSoftware just announced PKI Proxy. I'm still using "old" file-based certificates but it looks like it could be a viable solution: https://www.nsoftware.com/pkiproxy/

See PHP's security section here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/security.hiding.php

As I said, it probably is but I can't see how a serious company could trust them if they don't even provide mandatory legal mentions on their website.
