I understand the reasons) Not an immediate solution for you, but maybe useful to someone... The MSEide+MSEgui has a cross-platform console component which its IDE uses. It supports input and output from that popup console widget. No external console/terminal application is required. Maybe if somebody is interested in finally implementing a x-platform solution for Lazarus, they could look at Martin's code and port it to Lazarus.

[Lazarus] Run External Console on Linux?
Has anyone come up with a decent way to run and debug console applications using an external terminal program on Linux? That is, you are writing a ReadLn and WriteLn console application in Lazarus, and when you run the program you can get an external program like gnome-terminal to popup. Then gnome-terminal hosts your console application until either your console application terminates or you close gnome-terminal. I really don't like using the built in Lazarus terminal window. ReadLn doesn't work very well with it. It doesn't popup when you run or terminal the console application when closed. I'd really like to simulate an external terminal program like Lazarus does on Windows. (Please don't respond with why they are different. I understand the reasons) -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

I also feel a separate dialog, TLazFontDialog or whatever, is better. It should be put into a package and then provided through OPM. I think you should create a new package which can later be extended with other components. I remember there was a long discussion about a currency edit component. I already then suggested a similar new package but the author did not want to make it. Everybody wants to include their custom components in LCL. Why?

Re: [Lazarus] How to increase the font size of the content of Project Inspector
Sorry for the late reply. On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 5:42 AM Anthony Walter via lazarus wrote: > Get it from here: > https://github.com/sysrpl/Lazarus.AppExplore The best way is to get it from the Online Package Manager in Lazarus. I guess Anthony has provided it there. I tested now with a non-docked IDE and the Application Explorer does not find my Project Inspector window. IMO the Help menu is a wrong place for the main menu item. It could be in View menu as the Code Explorer. > To the Lazarus team, consider adding Application Explorer to trunk/components. IMO the Online Package Manager is an ideal way to install such packages. For an end user it is as simple as installing a local package. Maintaining the server package is easy, too, I believe.

Maybe as TLazFontDialog or similar. +1 AlexeyT, what is wrong in having a separate component for those who need it? If the current native dialogs have bugs (Carbon etc.) they should be fixed obviously. That is a different issue. Mapping to native controls has its problems but it also has benefits. The beauty is that you can mix native LCL components with custom drawn ones. Juha -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
