Jim McKeeth has updated the GExperts documentation a bit. It's far from finished but that's better than the totally outdated one on gexperts.org. I have now exported it as webhelp and checked it in to subversion. You can read it at my newly created domain help.gexperts.de. (The domain is temporary only for now. I got … Continue reading Updated Webhelp for GExperts available

The new GExperts version still supports all Delphi versions back to Delphi 6 (with the notable exception of Delphi 8) and even the Delphi 12 version is no longer in Beta state. I hope we have fixed some more bugs and haven't added too many more. As always: Report and any bugs you find (or … Continue reading GExperts 1.3.25 2024-08-24 released

CodeInsightExpert for GExperts
Michael Höfmann has written an additional CodeInsightExpert (in German) that can be added to GExperts and supports the writing of CodeInsight compatible comments in Delphi 12 (Athens). The source code is in his repository on GitHub. Note that this is not an official expert in GExperts, so you won't get any support from me. I … Continue reading CodeInsightExpert for GExperts
GExperts FAQ: Why does the Grep Results window not remember size and position?
The Grep Results window (and several other windows) can be docked to the IDE. To allow that GExperts does not save their positions and size but lets the IDE do that, which means these settings are part of an IDE desktop. While this can be convenient in the case of a docked window, it can … Continue reading GExperts FAQ: Why does the Grep Results window not remember size and position?
Many highDPI releated bugs in GExperts fixed
I have spent several days now to try and fix the remaining bugs in GExperts that are related to highDPI. I think I nailed most of them but unfortunately I can't be sure because the possible combinations of monitors and their arrangement and settings is so large. So, if you would like to help out, … Continue reading Many highDPI releated bugs in GExperts fixed

GExperts 1.3.24 Beta1 for Delphi 12
I have just built an installer for GExperts 1.3.24 Beta1 for Delphi 12. Note the word “Beta” in the release name! We are one step up from Alpha, there are still many bugs, but overall it seems to be stable. Most of the bugs manifest themselves as display glitches on high DPI monitors. If you … Continue reading GExperts 1.3.24 Beta1 for Delphi 12
That was easier than I thought – yeah, right
In my last post I announced that the GExperts code formatter now supported multiline string literals and boasted that this "was easier than I thought". Turns out that it was actually more complicated. I should have known immediately because two of the existing unit testes failed, but somehow I didn't notice that. Consider the following … Continue reading That was easier than I thought – yeah, right
GExperts Code Formatter now supports multi line string literals, but …
... but only in the code currently in SVN. There is no new release yet. That was easier than I thought: As of revision #4112 the formatter now actually does support multi line string literals. And only those unit tests that already failed still fail. Of course that does not mean that I have not … Continue reading GExperts Code Formatter now supports multi line string literals, but …
