Yes I understand but why loose so many new users?
All the programmers come from Delphi reports this issue and only a
little subset of them check for a solution on Google.
Others are lost!
So what? It is their loss. If they cannot even find out how to do this,
how can we expect them to become contributors? So, it even is a nice
selection mechanism for new users. (OK, maybe I am overreaction now).
Remember Lazarus is not a commercial product that needs users to
survive, it is a open source project that needs contributors (for the
LCL, the IDE, for documentation, for testing (which needs good
backtraces), for writing and porting components) to survive. I don't
expect users who cannot find out how to put the checkboxes in the
compiler options dialog (yes, we can improve the IDE in this area), to
be much of an help.
Hmmm - that are hard words for someone who said that he want's to
promote Lazarus.
Do you really think, Lazarus should only exist to develop Lazarus? For
creating a successful and strong development tool (which is the goal of
the whole project AFAIK) you need not only contributors but users as well...
