[Lazarus] linux mint install
I just acquired a desktop box with linux mint os. I want to upgrade lazarus to the latest release. Anyone have any step-by-step directions? -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] linux mint install
Hi, In case it's interesting here are the steps to upgrade to latest trunk (both fpc and lazarus) which worked for me on both 17.1 (Rebecca) and 17.2 (Rafaela): http://tondrej.blogspot.de/2015/05/fpc-and-lazarus-development-environment.html I think you could simply adapt the check out step to get a specific release revision to suit your needs.

On a side note: We did once, for internal franchise testing only, added Google Analytics [yes, what you normally use for websites ;-) ] into our desktop application. Different areas of our desktop application was tracked like different web pages in a website. :) Our product was a total rewrite of a previous version with lots of redesigned areas. We wanted to collect data to see what areas in the new program is used a lot, what isn't etc. That way we could tweak the user interface based on where our franchisees get stuck or missing out on useful features. We did give them training, but you know how it goes in by the one ear, out by the other. :) Regards, - Graeme - -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] Resolution changes ?
Default OS font I think.for example in Windows 8 it will pick Segoe UI . Check this in your linux like this : Self.Caption:=GetFontData(Font.Handle).Name; Regards, Ara -- http://www.fastmail.com - Send your email first class -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
[Lazarus] Resolution changes ?
Hello, What is the recommended way to deal with changes in resolution for a lazarus program ? I designed an application on Linux, on a 27 monitor. All looks well when designing and running the program. All controls nicely spaced, labels large enough to fit their contents. I build the program for windows, and run it on a windows computer. It looks horrible. Controls overlapping, labels too short for their contents. Early versions of Delphi (at least up to XE) had this problem too; when changing resolution, all is messed up. What is the recommended way to go about this when using the LCL ?

When you say resolution change, do you mean desktop resolution or DPI change? I designed an application on Linux, on a 27 monitor. What DPI is your Linux system using? I know it is the wrong thing to do, but I force my development systems to 96 dpi. Then in my fpGUI applications I scale the forms, controls and fonts based (using one simple functions in OnShow) based on the current system's dpi value compared to the designed system's dpi. The same code should work for LCL - I can share if you want. eg: http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/project2-96dpi.png http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/project2-80dpi.png http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/project2-107dpi.png http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/project2-120dpi.png http://geldenhuys.co.uk/~graemeg/project2-140dpi.png procedure TMainForm.FormShow(Sender: TObject); begin if fpgApplication.Screen_dpi cDPI then ScaleDPI(self, cDPI); // cDPI is the dpi you designed the form at end; Lazarus LFM files don't store the designed DPI value (Kylix and Delphi did), so I believe you are screwed if the running system's DPI is different to the designed system. There is no automated way to scale the forms like Delphi or Kylix could do - unless LCL has some other means of doing the same. All looks well when designing and running the program. All controls nicely spaced, labels large enough to fit their contents. Simply a change in desktop resolution (eg: 1024x768) shouldn't affect control spacing or label content not fitting. It will affect if a form can actually fit 100% inside the available desktop space though. So from the above I'm assuming your Linux system uses a different DPI value to the Windows system. The latter is normally set to 96dpi by default.
