A *.lpr file opens with
uses
{$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
cthreads,
{$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}
Interfaces, // this includes the LCL widgetset
Forms,
{ add your units here }
This suggests that you should add unit names manually here. This
is
difficult
at best because the syntax must be exact, forms must be
included, etc.
At worst, doing this probably leads to errors because the *.lpi
file is not modified accordingly.
Suggestions
1) Remove it completely
This is the best. It avoids confusion. As long as the user is
allowed to change it if he needs it...
Newbies tend to add their units at start, which should be avoided.
Maybe the comment should be replaced with 'add your units behind
here'?
Better wording IMHO would be: 'add your units after this'.
One vote for removing, one vote for an attempt at clearer wording
and one vote for ??? (what did you propose Graeme?).
Is there a consensus?
I'd suggest just 'Application units', or 'User units'.
Then it's up to the user to decide whether to add them there, or let
the project "Add Unit" do it for him.
'Add your units' appears an order to do it (if you don't it won't
work), while a descriptive phrase just tell that this is the place
for application units. How they go there depends on other things, too
long to explain in that place.
True. Maybe:
'you can add units after this'
Thanks for the feedback. I made this change in r12187.
