    Have you read the terms and conditions of Dropbox?
    Unless they have changed, I wouldn’t use Dropbox.

    1. Andreas Hausladen Post author

      Yes, and I haven’t read anything that would prevent me from giving a link to a folder that contains stuff for which I have the copyright.

      And I don’t use it for other things except for the development snapshot of IDEFixPack.

    Offical releases will still be announced, right?

    1. Andreas Hausladen Post author

      They will. It is only the development snapshot that will be (automatically) uploaded to the dropbox folder. I have no plan to use dropbox as my release system. I want to know the download numbers for the releases, so that I can spend my spare time on the right tool/version.

    Hi Andy, current release (from 3 hrs ago) issues the following message on Delphi XE:

    > The program can’t start because coreide120.bpl is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

    did my e-mail regarding XE2 HotFix 1 came through ?

    it seems to crash a lot

      1. Arioch

        did. also here

        At my new work i’ve got vanilla XE2 Upd 4 Hotfix 1 (Delphi personality
        only) on Win7 x64 machine.

        soon i installed SVN JCL/JVCL/UIB/VTW
        …and then came a question of documentation.

        I sketched a simple dumb IBX+VCL application and tried making XMLDoc
        inside it.

        Due to bugs and limitations in bundled DocInsight, i installed latest
        DocInsight Trial from devjet.net and…
        As i open the project IDE thrown 4 AVs and palette only had 10% of
        installed components.
        As i switched form form to DFMless pas unit IDE spurred 2 AV’s more.

        Stack traces are kinda useless.
        I blamed Doc Insight, but its removal did not helped.

        Afterall what helped was
        1) removal of IDE FixPack
        2) deleting of ProjectName.identcache and ProjectName.otares files

        Frankly, it seems like FixPack could not detect that IDE had changed and
        patched wrong places.
        Though i ain’t sure.
        Afterall i cannot proof that it is FixPack damaging things, but i feel so.

        I wonder if FixPack can had more strong detection (bds.exe file length ?
        version inf? checksums ? ) than merely installed updates string.

        crashes attached, but… useless they seem to me.

          IDE Fix Pack doesn’t test for updates strings, it compares the machine instructions of the functions it wants to patch if I don’t want to replace the whole function.

          I see an AQTime function in all but one of your callstacks. I don’t have AQTime installed myself, so maybe that can be the problem as AQTime also “hooks” into the IDE.

    BTW, don’t u know if one can make Delphi show full path to current source file or relative to some pre-defined folder ?
    Could not find it nor in DDevExt nor in CnWizards

    1. Andreas Hausladen Post author

      For the absolute path you can select the file in the ProjectManager, switch to the ObjectInspector (F11 key) and copy the path into the clipboard.
      For the relative path you may have a look into the dpr/dpk file.

      1. Arioch

        oh, i could do it with few clicks in a number of ways. But i wished it to be right in front of my eyes, instantly

        I saw simlar thing, maybe in mrExpert, during compilation/saving
        but okay, DDevExt hooks into tab switches of code editor – could it then chacgne caption of main win or soething similar ?

        And BTW, is there a hotkey for maximizing editor tab (“zoom” by double click – but hotkey would b better)
        In classic layout that was F5, but with default one i cannot find such.

        1. Andreas Hausladen Post author

          > DDevExt hooks into tab switches of code editor

          Does it? I don’t remember writing code that hooked into tab switching. It only re-enables the already existing code in the IDE to zoom the editor.

          1. Arioch

            but the aforementioned crashes happened at tab switching, i though it was your hooks.
            I cannot imagine profiler hooking into editor…

    I try convert my XE1 project to C++ Builder XE2 update4, but in the DLL project, debuger can’t load any debug symbol. I had try to set the host application,work directory, source path, symbol search file, and project C++ compiler and linker options for full debug information, the .TDS file is generated, but no symbol loaded when debuging the host or dll project, no break point can break it.

    It’s my problem? if no, can you consider provide the fix pack?
    the problem is so badly, no other third part debuger can load .tds file.
    so if you can, please help me, help all.

    1. snaper

      I had report the problem to Embarcadero QC: 106063

    2. Arioch

      did u used things like Process Monitor ?

      does debugger even TRY to load TDS (maybe from wrong path) and fail, or even no attempt is made ?

      1. snaper

        Debug event log print info “No debug info “,
        I upload the reproduce sample project to embarcadro quality central(QC: 106063), you can see my comment in each dll’s TestBreak function
