GExperts now fixes yet another annoyance in the Delphi IDE: Desktops

[dummzeuch 1594]

With my particular monitor setup, the Desktop feature of the Delphi 11 and 12 IDE does not work correctly. The Startup Desktop is not restored as I saved it, on my high def monitor on the left hand side, but instead covers both monitors with huge window. I  reported this problem to Embarcadero ages ago.

The problem still exists in the recently released Delphi 12.3 (where I reported it again during the beta test phase).

As I plan to switch to Delphi 12 in the medium future, I have now invested some more hours and added a workaround to GExperts that fixes the problem for me. It's in the current source code (revision #4466) in unit GX_ReselectDesktop, in case anybody is interested.

I hope it does not break other people's installations.

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.

I see the same behavior, with single 4K monitor.

Edit: Fixed the problem with the full screen window in revision #4468.

Hello.
I would like to thank you for supporting GExperts.
I am using GExperts_RS12_1.3.25_2024-08-24.exe in RAD Studio 12.3.
I use only three functions: SortLines, PreviousIdent, NextIdent.
These functions work in RAD Studio 12.3 without errors.
