Agreed, this is one of the weird Delphi misfeatures...
In later SynEdit versions I implemented custom streameing functions which only store the "diff" from default keystrokes (i.e. the removed and added keystrokes compared to the default list). -Flávio On 9/7/06, Marc Weustink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

How do I load an empty collection from a > stream, if the collection has a default value? Delphi has the same construction, which is IMO a design flaw. IMO when a collection is "default" is shouldn't be streamed, so there would be nothing written. I don't know why it is there, since when a "default" collection is written, all elements are written. So it never will be <>. > Note, if I remove the 'Keystrokes = <>' line from the lfm, I will get > the default collection too, so I wonder why there are two ways to get > the default collection. I propose to remove the "if not EndOfList then Collection.Clear;" line.
