Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Well, no, in Additional Info you can use only a predefined set of fields. It could be great if Lazarus allow adding custom fields. Leonardo.

Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
It seems I'm placing the {$R myresource.rc} in the wrong place...when I
try to compile I receive this error:
windres: plugin.rc:15: syntax error
NPDemo.lpr(26,1) Error: Error while compiling resources
NPDemo.lpr(26,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping
This is a the code:
--
library NpDemo;
uses
LResources,
NPPlugin in 'NPPlugin.pas',
NPForm in 'NPForm.pas',
NPSubCls in 'NPSubCls.pas',
{ you can add units after this }
Unit1;
exports
NP_GetEntryPoints index 1,
NP_Initialize index 2,
NP_Shutdown index 3;
{$R plugin.rc}
begin
end.
And this is my plugin.rc file:
1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1, 0, 0, 1
PRODUCTVERSION 1, 0, 0, 1
FILEFLAGSMASK VS_FFI_FILEFLAGSMASK
FILEOS VOS__WINDOWS32

Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Thanks Paul!, I've commented out these fields:
#FILEFLAGSMASK VS_FFI_FILEFLAGSMASK
#FILEOS VOS__WINDOWS32
#FILETYPE VFT_DLL
and WindRes interpreted it perfectly.

The error is in your .rc file on line 15.
Try to compile your .rc file with windres to see whether the problem is
exactly there. Windres is much stricter than brcc32 or gorc. It is
sometimes very difficult to satisfy it.
Best regards,
Paul Ishenin.

Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Leonardo is correct. The Additional Info fields are just the rest of the Microsoft standard version info keys, probably because they couldn't fit on the main panel. Although it's fun to pay homage to Microsoft with a Windows-style nested dialog approach, this dialog should have used a property list or grid or something where you can both enter values for the standard keys and also define new keys: MIMEType, Programmer, whatever your heart desires - i.e., like Delphi circa version 2.

[Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Hi, I'm trying to convert a Delphi Dll to a Lazarus one. After a couple of changes the Dll compiles as expected, the problem is that I need to add some fields to version information resource. When I check Project Options - Version Information - Include version info... The compiler automatically generates an .rc file. If I manually edit this file adding the fields I need, the next time I compile my program, the file is recreated removing my new fields. How can I avoid this problem? P.S.: I'm trying to create a Netscape plugin. The browser reads the resources contained in the dll looking for the string MIMEType. Thanks in advance, Leonardo. ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
Did you check Version Info - +Additional info? Which version info fields Lazarus doesn't have? Henrique.

Re: [Lazarus] Resources and Version info
In Delphi you can add additional keys to a version info resource in addition to the standard keys, but Lazarus doesn't have a place to define additional keys, only the standard ones. The .rc file supports them okay, so just create it manually. For example, I usually add a key for Programmer so that the developer's name is embedded in the executable and displayed along with the other info in Explorer when you right-click the executable and view the version info properties.
