Hi list, 1. Going through my Lazarus install (trunk) I noticed these packages without description. I've added suggestions for descriptions (hope they're correct). Could package maintainers please add a description to their packages? That would surely help people who don't yet know what the package actually does.
aarrebase ? cocoa_pkg ? customdrawn Provides custom drawn (as opposed to native) controls for multiple platforms demoidehelp ? designbaseclassdemopkg ? easydockmgrdsgn ? something to do with easydockmgr? editortoolbar ? (current description says Editor Toolbar, but what kind of editor is meant? what kind of toolbar?) exploreidemenu ? filefindlaz Adds file finder components to Lazarus fpcunitide fpcunitide provides new project types for console and GUI unit testing applications using fpcunit. Useful for quickly and easily setting up unit tests for your project. fpvectorialpkg ? h2paswizard Helps convert C .h files into Pascal definitions idelazlogger ? imagesforlazarus ? (current description says Images for Lazarus. What images?) jumptoimplementation Allows jumping to the implementation part if your cursor is on a procedure/method/property definition. lazdatadict ? lazparadox Paradox connection component for Lazarus lazreportpdfexport Enables PDF export for lazreport (requires LazReport and PowerPDF) lr_add_function ? Additional functions for lazreport (requires LazReport) lr_codereport_pkg ? lr_dialogdesign ? lr_sqldb ? lr_tdbf DBF database access component for lazreport (requires LazReport) lr_zeosdb Zeos database access component for lazreport (requires LazReport) macosfiles ? messagecomposerpkg ? notlcldesigner Example package that demonstrates adding support for non-LCL visual components in the IDE prettymessages printers4lazide Adds printing support to the IDE. Requires Printers4Lazarus. quickfixexample ? rxnew<>rx These packages have more or less the same description: Delphi VCL Extensions (RX) Could rxnew perhaps indicate they are 1. an addition to the rx package or 2. an improvement to the rx package (that is: they have the same components) semaphorgridlpk Adds traffic lights (red, green, amber) controls to grids tachartwmf WMF drawing back-end for TAChart turbopoweriprodsgn Design-time packages for the ported TurboPower iPro (internet professional) components: a set of components providing Internet connectivity. weblaz Weblaz provides new project types for (Fast)CGI and Apache module web applications using FreePascal's fcl-web (fpweb) 2. Memo oddity in package screen When selecting a package with a large description, the vertical scrollbar of the memo containing the description is all the way down (Laz trunk x86, Windows). Could this be modified so it is at the top (and you can read the beginning of the description, which is the most important) Thanks a lot, Reinier -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
