[lazarus] Dialogs to be converted to LFM
Hi, I have seen on the Lazarus wiki site that a lot of dialogs still need to be converted. A lot of the dialogs also have resizing issues (you can resize them to hide everything but the title bar - which makes no sence). Can I start converting some, and post the patches to the mailing list?

in a shel this command make this job:

i need in Lazarus execute this command.
anypeople can help me ? Thanks !
Or you can use the lazy man's method.
Include "unix" in the uses clause, then do:
shell('ls "/my directory/" > "/destination/lists.txt"');
It won't work in Windows though, and isn't as safe as using a TProcess.
If the shell command doesn't immediately return from executing, it will
appear to lock up your application. Also, note the single quotes around
the total command line, and the double-quotes within the command line to
handle spaces within the paths.
For Windows, the shortcut is:
include "windows" in the uses clause then do:
shellexecute(0, 'open', pchar('dir "c:\my directory" >
"c:\destination\lists.txt"'), nil, nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
I just give these as examples. I recommend the TProcess method, because
it's cross-platform and has more checks and balances built in. But, I
admit that when I'm spitting out a quick program just for myself, I'm
more likely to use "shell()"

[lazarus] Proposition of patch for bugreport 1445 and 1443
Hello,
Proposition attached.
Mainly it uses PD_RETURNDC option for printers dialogs and strong
returned DC into fDC. This returned DC has all options selected by user
applied :-)
As for 1143 I suppose it is buggy driver , workaround was to replace
PDev.Device with pDev.Driver field for CreateDC which field has correct
information (by accident?) (I cannot test it with physically attached
printer Lexmark 1020)
I haven't found other such printer driver (of course I cannot test it all)
Best regards
Boguslaw Brandys

With 'lazarus' or with 'startlazarus'. Try to start it with 'startlazarus'. Probably you are running the wrong lazarus-binary.

[lazarus] Component adds no new tab on lazarus - strange problem
Hello. I am new to this mailing list. I have successfully installed lazarus on my laptop running Mandriva Linux. After that, I have successfully installed "ZeosLib" components. After that, I successfully installed another component I am working on. After that, I installed lazarus successfully on a Desktop PC. Only that on the desktop I was unable to install any component: I could never see an additional "tab" in the lazarus tools. The 2 components I tried compile and lazarus rebuilds normally but after normal restart there is no additional tab. Although I tried other version stuff, this happened in the same versions I used on the laptop: fpc2.0.0 and lazarus 0.9.10. The desktop runs Debian "Sarge" with a kernel 2.4.27 (not my choice...). Installation in the desktop was made with RPMs converted into .DEBs, as explained in the wiki. I already 777 all permissions in the /etc/fpc.cfg, .lazarus directory, lazarus and fpc directories, removed and re-installed and still no change. I find this to be a lazarus problem because neither the Zeos nor my own package adds the registered tab... My guess is that this is a permissions problem (?). Maybe lazarus tries to write something somewhere fails and returns no error message, not even in the console. Any hints ? Any hint on how to debug such a problem ?
