Re: [Lazarus] LazarusDir and FPCSourceDirectory not saved to environmentoptions.xml
If Lazarus is on Linux, one problem is due to file permissions. Your .lazarus directory was somehow changed to read only or owner so you can't save env variables on it, if not, the file must be corrupt? If on Ubuntu in your home directory, you can try 'sudo chown yourusername.yourusername -R .lazarus' then launch lazarus, change to correct settings, exit then run again. Yes, I'm on linux. The file is not read only, because I can rename it normally (no sudo required) and when I start Lazarus with environmentoptions.xml renamed, after I close the IDE it creates a new environmentoptions.xml. Still, in the new file, LazarusDirectory and FPCSourceDirectory don't exist. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-lazarus.989080.n3.nabble.com/LazarusDir-and-FPCSourceDirectory-not-saved-to-environmentoptions-xml-tp4035799p4035802.html Sent from the Free Pascal - Lazarus mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] LazarusDir and FPCSourceDirectory not saved to environmentoptions.xml
After some experiments, it looks like there's a bug in handling MY environmentoptions.xml. Running the IDE from terminal shows up: [TEnvironmentOptions.Save] error writing /home/leledumbo/.lazarus/environmentoptions.xml: EDOMError in DOMDocument.CreateElement when I change certain value. but when I rename my .lazarus to .lazarusold, the IDE creates a new .lazarus folder and when I change the same certain value, the file can be saved. Moving the new environmentoptions.xml to .lazarusold and rename it back to .lazarus shows that the IDE can save modified values. Since the permissions of both files are the same, I simply copy-paste the contents of my old environmentoptions.xml to the new one. Guess what? The error message above comes again. Here I attach the environmentoptions.xml that breaks the saving routine. Please run lazarus from terminal, try changing a value (e.g. single button on taskbar) and see the debug log.

[Lazarus] Problem building for SPARC/Linux, and a couple of minor IDE wishlist items
I find that trunk+2.71 won't build as bigide, since PascalScript has no sparc.inc and it attempts to build for x86. I've raided this as http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25709 and suggest that for the moment PscalScript is excluded for that processor. It's OK on PPC, I've not checked others. Looking at the IDE, I find the new bar on the right of SynEdit useful but I wonder whether the developers would consider putting a digit marker rather than a rectangle to mark the position of a bookmark? That would allow a quick keyboard jump, and would also give an easy indication of what bookmark was on which page when multiple windows were open. Still on the IDE, I remember that editors such as MultiEdit had a command to reflow a paragraph to a predefined width. Is anything like that available in Lazarus, specifically to reformat comment blocks? -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues] -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] clicking a dbgrid's column title does not trigger OnEnter event as with Delphi
One reason would be that Lazarus DbGrid it's not a Delphi DbGrid clone. Without more information one can only speculate: OnEnter should be triggered in case the grid has not the focus, if it already has the focus, I don't see why OnEnter should be triggered on column click.
