Re: [Lazarus] need suggestion about ParamStrUTF8(0)
Yes, this can not be standart but, for me useful. Why, My application
work with database, on first run, no any db created. On my login screen
have create db form, user can create more db files. year by year or what
they want. When db create many settings added on create. user permission
etc. So I have to set db files folder some where. In win and linux same
folder with application.
and some time need to help to user, first job get backup data, if all
files be in /applications/myproject.app/ folder, they have to just
copy all of them, xx gb can be, data folder used change. some time just
one db has a problem and tey want to sent me ? can do on terminal of
course, but how to tell this to blonde stuff on telephone :)
usually I create partition or volume, and use my application and data
from there. And for backup, show to user this folder is all your data,
just copy out of this computer where you want. so I any on broke system
I'm not get risk.

When deploying your application you can remove the symbolic link and

Although the Finder does not show the contents of this folder by
default, programs can read and write there normally. You can store ini
files there.
If you want the user to see your ini files in Finder, then you should
create a normal directory. As far as I know there is no standard for
that.
Maybe I misunderstand some details, but i understand the Apple Human Interface

user specific preferences and in /Library/Preferences for global ones. Other
files can be kept within the .app bundle, in particular if they should be
replaced by a new installation or update and unless they should survive an
update of the program. In the later case they should be placed in
~/Library/Application Support/NAME_OF_YOUR_PROGRAM or /Library/Application

Re: [Lazarus] Embedded/small database
Sqlite can be very fast, but it needs the proper setup for that (which may not be relevant in all cases).

Honestly, i wouldn't put down Sqlite :-). However you need to make sure that Sqlite is what you are looking for. After all in their site they say that SQLite is not designed to compete with Oracle. SQLite is designed to compete with fopen(). (or AssignFile in Lazarus' case :-P). To put it differently, if i wanted to make an application to associate tags and colors with images (for fast theme lookup), i'd use Sqlite. If i wanted to make a bookstore chain application, i'd probably use PostgreSQL.

Re: [Lazarus] Lazarus Release Candidate 1 of 1.4
Hi, Totally interested in helping test RC1...but...I'm scared. I have Lazarus 1.2.6 installed now and I would like to install RC1 to a separate directory structure. I've downloaded the 3 fpc/laz RC1 DEB files and am ready to go except: I'm working in Kubuntu 14.04. I'm new-ish with Linux, and with DEB packages before this I've simply right clicked and allowed the system to install them. I assume this will overwrite my existing Laz install. So how do I use the deb file such that I consistently get the packages into a new directory structure that will work separately from 1.2.6? using a dpkg switch? If I get to this desired structure, I assume I will need to do the makes manually, yes? (first time...shiver). Also you said if you install to a new location you need to use: --primary-config-path I've done some searching and can find no reference to this switch, I don't even know which program (lazarus? FPC? DPKG?) would expect this switch. Any help, links or whatever, would be appreciated. Once I've convinced myself that I can get the RC onto my system and it will play nicely, I will install and test.

We would like to invite all users to test this release candidate. Please read below why everybody really should join the testing now. News in this Version http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4.0_release_notes On Windows the installer now allows 2 independent installations. http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multiple_Lazarus#Installation_of_multiple_Lazarus About the release process: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_1.4_fixes_branch#Roadmap_to_1.4 The 1.4RC1 is built with fpc 2.6.4. The release candidate is available for download on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/ Choose your CPU, OS, distro and then the Lazarus 1.4RC1 directory. Minimum requirements: Windows: 98, 2k, XP, Vista, 7, 32 or 64bit. On 64bit it is recommended to use the 32bit IDE. Win98 IDE needs building with flag -dWIN9XPLATFORM. FreeBSD/Linux: gtk 2.8 or qt4.5, 32 or 64bit. Mac OS X: 10.5 to 10.10, 10.9+ without IDE debugger (gdb works), LCL only 32bit, non LCL apps can be 64bit. == Why should everybody (including you) test the release candidate? == In the past weeks the Lazarus team has stabilized the 1.4 fixes branch. The resulting 1.4RC1 is now stable enough to be used by any one for test purposes. However many of the fixes and new features that where committed since the release of 1.2 required changes to the code of existing features too. While we have tested those ourself, there may still be problems that only occur with very specific configurations or one project in a million. Yes, it may be that you are the only person with a project, that will not work in the new IDE. So if you do not test, we can not fix it. Please do not wait for the final release, in order to test. It may be too late. Once the release is out we will have to be more selective about which fixes can be merged for further 1.4.x releases. So it may be, that we can not merge the fix you require. And then you will miss out on all the new features. == How to test == Download and install the 1.4RC1. - On Windows you can install as a 2ndary install, that will not affect your current install: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Multiple_Lazarus#Installation_of_multiple_Lazarus - On other platforms, if you install to a new location you need to use --primary-config-path In either case you should make backups. (including your primary config) Open your project in the current Lazarus (1.2.6), and use Publish Project from the project menu. This creates a clean copy of your project. You can then open that copy in the RC1. Please test: - If you can edit forms in the designer - rename components / change properties in Object inspector / Add new events - Add components to form / Move components on form - Frames, if you use them - If you can navigate the source code (e.g. jump to implementation) - Auto completion in source code - Compile, debug and run - Anything else you use in your daily work Mattias -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

If you installed 1.2.6 from our sourceforge site, then you only need to update the lazarus deb. It doesn't hurt to install the fpc debs though. deb is clever enough to figure it out.

These deb files are not made for parallel installation. As always: Before installing a new Lazarus version make a backup of your ~/.lazarus directory. Installing the 1.4 deb will replace the old 1.2.6. You can downgrade by installing the 1.2.6 deb. When starting the IDE it will give you an upgrade or downgrade message. Note that downgrade from 1.4 to 1.2.x may loose some settings. You can install a second Lazarus version in parallel. Do you want that?
