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 It's far from finished but that's better than the totally outdated one on gexperts.org.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
ZFS Snapshots und Samba Shadow Copy [German only]
Ich bin seit einiger Zeit ein großer Fan von ZFS und sammle immer wieder mal Links zu dem Thema. Es gibt einen Blog-Post ZFS Snapshots und Samba Shadow Copy (auf Deutsch) von Manfred Larcher, den ich gerade gefunden habe, und den ich hiermit erwähnen will, so dass ich ihn später auch wieder finde.
You should be using the full FastMM
If you are a Delphi developer and are not using the full FastMM memory manager (either the free version 4 or the commercial version 5) you really should try it. The limited FastMM version, that is included with Delphi since Delphi 2006, does not have the full debug mode. And that's the mode you should … Continue reading You should be using the full FastMM
Get Samba connection information
Note to self: The command to get connection information for a (Linux based) Samba server is smbstatus. It needs root privileges. e.g. [bash] sudo smbstatus -v | less [/bash]
GExperts 1.3.25 2024-08-24 released
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?
dzBdsLauncher 1.0.14 released
Unfortunately version 1.0.13 of dzBdsLauncher had a bug when called with a Delphi 2007 .dproj file: It correctly detected (or rather assumed) Delphi 2007 but then said it could not detect the Delphi version. That bug is now fixed in the version 1.0.14.
Configure a svn repository on SourceForge to allow changing a log message
I tend to make typos in the log messages to SubVersion commits and it is always embarrassing when I later come across these typos. Svn can be configured to allow changing log messages by adding a server hook, but that's not the default. The now defunct OSDN, which was based on an old version of … Continue reading Configure a svn repository on SourceForge to allow changing a log message
