Re: Justified moaning?, I like to think so.

Thanks Nick,

I know it's a ball ache but I'm sure you'll have one of those 'smack the
head', 'of course', 'that can't work' sort of moments if you have a look at
it in more depth. After all, it's only when you start using these features
in anger that the problems surface themselves.

I can't conceive what I might have set 'unexpectedly?' to get it into this
situation and cause this behaviour.

Cheers, Paul.

Paul,


First, thanks for taking the time to give the feedback; I appreciate it.

Noticed many times that the .dproj files had a lot of blank lines in
there.

Hmm. I don't know why that is.


Q. When you tick the default checkbox, are those current settings
intended for use only on new projects?

Yes -- but whatever you set will be true for the existing project.

Q. If you tick the defaults checkbox (whilst you have a project
open), what bearing does the current 'Build Configuration' have on
this? i.e. would all new projects default to either Debug or Release
and are those default settings then saved for both Debug and Release
or just the one set.

The settings for the currently selected build configuration will be set.

Q. If you go for the Project - Default Options - Delphi for Win32
menu with no projects currently open, there are no items in my 'Build
Config' combo at the top. So which options are going to become
defaults; debug or release ones - how is it determined? How does it
relate to the choices made when you have a project open and,
therefore, have Debug or Release in the 'Build Config' combo?

Interesting point -- and that may be the source of the problem. I say
that, because I don't know for sure where the settings go.

I doubt I can come up with steps to reproduce in a concrete manner
because it will depend on the current state of my various active
projects and how they last got saved. I can certainly submit as many
files as needed for examination if you like. I can also export any
reg entries, etc or whatever is required to let you know what's
currently there.

I've wasted a lot of time on this which is why I reverted to a script
running DCC32. It's not ideal but it is very reliable for producing a
RELEASE build that doesn't contain debug messages, etc. It should all
work right within the IDE unless a certain sequence of actions at
some point has messed up and the IDE simply isn't coping with
bad/conflicting settings somewhere.

Again, thanks for the feedback -- I'll get with our IDE guy who does
all of this and see what is the deal.

Nick
