About Post "It actually happened!"2005-08-25 08:02:18 AM delphi86 Att: Mr Peter Morris. Well, I am not very sure if you are serious or not about what you sayed in your post ... but let met drop a few lines about D2005. D2005 hangs ALWAYS, I mean it seems that it has a TTimer active with an interval of 300000 that purposely shows up a Exception, turns readonly a unit, just terminates the IDE silently .. etc..etc.. Object Inspector "eats" sometimes properties of a component, where property "name" was, suddenly it appears "top", so you where thinking you where writing the component name and suddenly after pressing enter you get a "Invalid Integer Value". Also it loses the middle line position (the line that splits the property name and the property values) so each time close the IDE and reopen it, this line is Randomly positioned. Code Insight does not behave well when working with records. It does not show 2 level and above, records members. At all my projects I use 4 o 5 level records, with Delphi 7 it works like a charm.. now.. when you press CTRL space.. you get the "infinite white" I mean absolutely nothing. Code Insight needs clues when looking for example, ordinal names, if you for example have a Ordinal named "cnt_Test",if you press ctrl space and then write "cnt_" nothing is suggested, but if you write first "cnt_" and the press ctrl space then suddenly "cnt_Test" appear... crazy. It is slow. Switching between units is a pain. Writing code is hell, each time I write some lines, the cursor turns to "clock" some seconds (some activity?? happens maybe) so I can not write no code until it stops. In undocked mode when moving the form, you feel like playing Quake3 with a 486 ( I have a nvidia Geoforce 5 256 mg). If you add a new component to a form, it takes about 10 seconds since you clicked it at the "component palette" since it appears on the form the first time you acces this component. The component palette is alive. If you organize your comps in customized tabs, move them here and there,an then you recompile a design package that registers a component into the palette the whole customization is deleted, defaults are applied. It eats Memory. My PIV 3,2 is just in pain every time I execute D2005. I have 1 Gig of ram (sorry, 700 Mg ram , delphi eats 300) and I feel like being using a Pentium 66. D2005 dissapers from the task switch or it alters the entire Z order of the windows, so that sometimes when you press ALT+TAB it is not listed... or it stucks at the topmost of all windows, or even ALT+TAB function does not work any more. Docked windows (object Inspector, component palette, project manager) when autohidden, randomly get as wide as the screen when they reapear, so you have to resize them manually again to position them correctly. And believe me there are more issues I don't write in here to make this post more borring at it is... ... and yes.. I have installed all three SP's, unofficial patches, JED's configuration manager ... etc..etc.. You can't be serious when you state that D2005 is stable... just have a look at QC, it is impossible that all those QC reports are wrong. Regards. John. |
