Morning all,
Last year I uploaded to Code Central a small, free utility
application for working with Delphi IniFiles. I'd been using it for 2 years
before that, but I updated the newer version with a help file and some other
small improvement.
Although it's been downloaded a number of times, I've not gotten any
feedback, good or bad, and now that I'm making a new version to fix a couple
of bugs, I'd really like to hear from anyone who has used it with any
comments that might help me improve it.
The version of "IniMan" on Code Central #25221 has three bugs that
I've come across.
First, it will sometimes over-write an old project with a newer one,
displaying the same Project Name more than once in the dropdown combobox.
It doesn't happen all the time, but I found the culprit and this will be
fixed.
Second, because saved projects use the same name as the Delphi
project an inifile unit is created for, it doesn't allow one to have more
than a single inifile unit per project. I've added a project code edit to
it so that if you need to write more than one inifile per application, it
will distinguish between the two and allow you to re-load either of them as
needed.
Last, Although it properly shows the "Bool" type in the work area,
and it correctly uses ReadBool and WriteBool in the output code, I found
that it was also using Bool when a function result is coded for that type.
I've had to manually change Bool to Boolean in any functions returning that
type, otherwise an error occurs.
That's about it except for some help file changes to make certain
functions a bit easier to understand. But if anyone has any suggestions or
thoughts for any other improvements, please let me know. I'd like to upload
the new version by next month. Thanx in advance for any help.
