Monitor Layout registry entry

[dummzeuch 1582]

The registry entry for storing the "Monitor Layout" setting in Delphi 12 contains the string "Allow changing screen on any layout change". WTF?

Does that really mean this setting is language dependent?

While it is always stored in English even if your IDE is set to any other language, I also think that using such a caption to store the selected option is not that a good idea.

 

As a Delphi developer I would use an enumeration for the setting values and store that in a suitable manner.

So would I.

If it should be user readable (why?) they could have used the enum name rather than an integer to store the setting.
