[Feature Request] launch Delphi with no open projects about cnwizards HOT 21 CLOSED

Thank you for your detailed suggestion and analysis.
We'll consider whether the removing action will be overwrite by IDE itself when exiting.

from cnwizards.

We make a nightly-build 1179 for this feature, whose switch is in Menu "CnPack" -> "IDE Enhancements Settings" -> "IDE Main Form Enhancements", "Clear Session Project in Registry when Exiting".

Please try it?

I see, 5f5459e

Seems working fine in D2007, but can you for extra safety run it in the constructor too?

You can not use class properties to support Delphi 5 (you really do? even i dropped D5 some years ago, then JVCL followed). So i would remove FClearRegSession and the property go straight into the global var via getter/setter.

Delphi 5 even supported inline functions AFAIR. Not sure it was smart enough to use it inside the object setters. Then right after readign the properties it could run the ClearRegistrySessionProject too for double safety :-)

I just fear later IDEs could change the exit sequence, so double action would be more surviable.

I would also make some tests with XE2 and XE10.2.0 later

P.S. hmmm...

I rarely launch XE10.2.0 here so am not sure when did it broke.

Sorry, could not test in Tokyo.

In 2007 it works so my main itsch is scratched, thanks a lot.

P.S. a matter of taste, but i'd suggest the "intention over implementation" wording for the checkbox.

Caption = 'Do not open the last opened project when IDE is launched.'

Or maybe less smooth but hopefully more digestable for techies and with less tautology.

Caption = 'IDE startup: Do not open the last project you worked on.'

The current caption i guess would fit nicely the docs:

ShowHint = True
Hint = 'CnWizards would clear the Session\Project setting in the registry when Delphi is starting up and exiting.'

Something like that

from cnwizards.

Oh, seems IOTADebuggerVisualizer250 is introduced in 10.2.2, so 10.2 can't run.
We'll disable this interface usage in 10.2.x and moves to 10.3.

We'll consider the Caption text again.

from cnwizards.

How about "Forget Last Opened Project when IDE Launched"?

Seems the word "NOT" in caption will bring some confuse for CheckBox, should be avoid.

Your hint can be put in our Help, but not in the form for this checkbox, for other checkboxes don't have hints.

from cnwizards.

10.2.0 is our last legal so sadly i can not upgrade beyond it and try 10.2.2

How about "Forget

"forget" is still implementaiton details, not user's intention.

User's problem at hands it to force IDE clean after launch, without any projects open

"Forgetting" is still just the tool, a method to implement the task.
And it is plausible it would have to be changed with some newer Delphi version.

So, if we need to avoid "not" then perhaps something like: Make Delphi IDE launch clean, without any project opened.

Also, what about negations in other languages, should there cognates for "not" be avoided as well?

for other checkboxes don't have hints.

Is it really that important?

OTOH this text can be just removed. In the end, there are sources for those, who would (if ever) need to learn the method (for example, to debug it in Delphi versions where it would not work).

from cnwizards.

Yes Important 得很
We'll consider these texts.

“Do NOT Load Last Opened Project Automatically when IDE Launched.”

fine with me, but you also said

i still hope you would code-in the startup clearing too

1180 unstable should integrate this code piece.
But not sure the sequence whether our clear or IDE load is in the front.

from cnwizards.

chkClearRegSessionProject.Caption=Не
chkClearRegSessionProject.Caption=Ne
TCnPalEnhanceForm.chkClearRegSessionProject.Caption=Não

Caption=Do NOT Load

you seem to CAPS OUT the negation in English and German but not in other European languages. Is it intentional difference?

from cnwizards.

But not sure the sequence whether our clear or IDE load is in the front.

Well, the procmon trace above suggested it should work :-)

So, D2007.

I launch IDE with ClearRegSession off, open the project, close IDE and launch IDE again.
The IDE opens the project and has Session\Project filled in. As expected.

I then tick your checkbox and ClearRegSession get saved immediately on mrOK, as expected.

I use TaskMAnager to kill the IDE, it leaves Session\Project filled in. As expected. We just simulated IDE crash with the CnW feature just engaged, the most fragile scenario.

I launch the IDE - and the session get cleared before IDE checks it so the IDE runs blank.

Perfect!

from cnwizards.

unrelated.

10.2.0

the next checkbox caption suggests it only works with Delphi 7 or older, but it is somehow enabled on xe 10.2.0 ?

from cnwizards.

Ah, i see...

You made them user-global, for all the IDE versions existing.

Well, kinda confusing design to mix local and global settings in one window, more so than irregular Hints in my opinion :-) But then, your project not mine.

Well, so i tested in XE 10.2.0 after 2007, it works as expected there too.

As of my itch, the case is closed, thanks a lot!

documentation bug. History:

2024.04.04 V1.3.1

....

Add an Option to Clear Session Project when Exiting IDE in Main Form Enhancement, defaultly Disabled.

1. again, i'd rather document intention than implementation
2. but if the choice was made for writing down implementation, then it is simply wrong after "clear on launch" was added too, not only on exit

from cnwizards.

Tiny issue, adjusted.
