   Just thought I should point out that the QC report in question is a beta report that won’t be available to everyone. Thanks for fixing it, though!

      @Mason that explains everything. thanks

      I’ve fixed this. QC 83992 was public when I’ve promoted it, it is now public again and this report went private accidentally.
      1. Mason Wheeler April 12, 2012

         @Uwe: Thanks. I thought that seemed strange; I don’t remember submitting it as a private report! 😛

   Many thanks for your hard work.

   “the ImageList’s bitmap is streamed out into inherited DFMs even if nothing changed”.
   Aaaaaah, that should avoid us to BeyondCompare our MainForm dfm to manually remove those coming from an embedded Frame.
   Thanks again for your amazing work!

   Unfortunately, using that Version produces 2 errors (RAD Studio 2009 12.0.3420.21218) on startup. Those errors probably even occurred in previous versions, but then I got no information about it. Now I’ve to close that information window on every start or disable the following patches manually:

   – IDE.Editor.ParanMatching
   – IDE.Editor.UndoSpeed

   Maybe you can reproduce that?

   Nevertheless: Great work again and thank you for still supporting that old versions of Delphi!

      Those are not errors. The dialog tells me that IDE Fix Pack wasn’t able to patch the boreditu.dll (Editor Kernel). And the reason is that I have replaced it with the Delphi 2010 version to get the fix for the “amount >= dest – startDest” assertion.
      I haven’t thought about that when I wrote the patch.
      1. Andreas Hausladen Post authorApril 12, 2012

         I have uploaded a new IDE Fix Pack 4.8.1 for RAD Studio 2009. Those patches now also work with the original boreditu.dll.
         1. Mason Wheeler April 12, 2012

            There’s a typo in your “Changelog from 4.8 to 4.1,” BTW
            1. Andreas Hausladen Post authorApril 13, 2012

               Fixed.

      This is fixed with version 4.8.2 for Delphi 2009.

   (AV’s shows after opening unit by DDevExtension)

   Thanks!

   Andreas,

   Many thanks for the years of support and your wonderful patches.

   Do you think you could come up with a way to revert XE2’s “autogenerate build number” feature back to the way it was in XE and all other IDE versions as far back as I can remember.

   In XE and older, the build number would increment by one, each time you built your project. Now it uses the date/time of the build.

   The new time-encoded build number is not working for me, as I need to show it to my users. It is hard enough to get my users to correctly write down a 3 digit number, let alone about 12 digits.

   Ideally, there would be a checkbox in your settings someplace to revert or not, the Autogenerate Build Number” feature.

   A lot of XE2 users are pretty pissed off about this change – you could be a real hero (more than usual) if you could fix this.

   see: http://qc.codegear.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=100940

   Thanks in advance,

   Kevin G. McCoy

      Why don’t you try to be a hero yourself and implement an IOTACompileNotifier that does the job?
      1. Kevin G. McCoy April 17, 2012

         Uwe,

         I’d love to, but I have only written one IOTA wizard. It was very time consuming to write.

         I have very little time to spare after trying to earn my paycheck 🙂

   Works great, but: The XE2 IDE Fix Pack 4.8 causes this error when streaming in a DFM when pressing Alt-F12 in the IDE: “Error Reading ImageList1.Bitmap: Failed to read ImageList data from stream. Ignore the error and continue? (…)”
   The ImageList contains 17 small bitmaps and is the only object in the DFM file.
   The error goes away when the IDE Fix Pack is uninstalled.

   This is on Windows 7 64-bit, XE2 Upd4 and is always reproducible. I can provide a test-case.
   1. Andreas Hausladen Post authorApril 24, 2012

      I can’t reproduce this in Win7 64bit, XE2 Update 4.
      You can send me your test-case if you want.
      1. Andreas Hausladen Post authorApril 24, 2012

         This is fixed with version 4.9 that I just released.
         1. Tor Erik Dahlsrud April 25, 2012

            Thank’s! Works fine.
