Re: [Lazarus] [IDE] Translations of licence texts which are inserted into source code
2014-05-29 15:05 GMT-03:00 Václav Valíček vac...@valicek.name: 1, For Czech translations which I was doing/editing from previous translator, I looked for materials about meaning of licence in Czech and English, to keep the meaning of translated text. 2, Before my corrections, there was mixture of Czech sentences with English untranslated words 3, It may be nice to put some notice about uncertified translation before/under the text 4, Translated licences are (from my point of view) keeping the meaning, but they are translated into unnatural form of language (if you know what I mean) 5, I haven't finished improving and translating - so I don't have problem to just delete 'em.

Re: [Lazarus] My Lazarus logo using Inkscape
There's a link on the cheetah page to the reproduction rights: http://nature.ca/notebooks/english/reprorights.htm This statement is there: Illustrations and photographs are also subject to copyright protection, so you do not have the right to reproduce them, in most circumstances. You may reproduce illustrations and photographs for personal use, as long as you credit the creator and copyright owner of each image. So, for example, you may copy an image and use it in a school project, with credit given. The museum does not own all of the photographs used in the Natural History Notebooks, but it received permission from the owners to do so. The copyright owner of each illustration and photograph is identified directly below the larger-version of the image (obtained by clicking on the smaller version, and delivered in a pop-up browser-window). Where no copyright owner is identified for a photograph, it exists in the public domain. And For any other use of material from the Natural History Notebooks, contact us to request written permission. So, i would ask the museum for permission, in order to avoid future problems... 2013/1/8, Mattias Gaertner nc-gaert...@netcologne.de: Graeme Geldenhuys gra...@geldenhuys.co.uk hat am 8.

So it goes without saying that a drawing of a cheetah will look pretty similar to another drawing of a cheetah. In any case, the one is a drawing of a complete cheetah, the other is just of the head section. Very different. So I don't think Zaher has anything to worry about. You are probably right, that Zaher has not to worry. AFAIK in most countries it does not matter if you create a derivative work only from parts of a drawing. If the new work is a derivative work or if its resemblance is small enough to claim a new work is a matter of the law+lawyers of the country of whatever company wants to use this logo.

Hi, The word sítio, instead of site, is used across all the Brazilian government documents.

Maybe even FPC itself could create these statistics. Something like this with really big numbers (after aggregating all users) would look quite impressive: I have to say that I don't know how to write this sort of thing, either from the point of view of Lazarus or from the point of view of making it acceptable to users rather than looking like intrusive spyware. But I think the really useful thing, far more than just aggregating number of lines of code, would be picking up when somebody tried to compile either Lazarus itself or an app for a specific CPU/OS/widget set, including cases where that combination failed. How many people get Lazarus (on any platform) and try it out without joining the mailing list or commenting on a project forum? Of these, how many drop it because they have a problem compiling a project? How can we find out where the problem areas are, without getting feedback from these anonymous users? If we had- for example- aggregated statistics for This copy of Lazarus on one of the about tabs, how could we also roll in e.g. somebody attempting to build Lazarus from the command line (make clean bigide) who found it didn't work because he'd got the wrong version of the KDE libraries (been there done that)? To be brutally honest, I don't like any form of ET, phone home things in a program. Why not? Because it is nobodies business [how / if / what for] I or anybody else uses the compiler. It has been put out there as open source, no strings attached. If you want usage information then ask for it on the website or here in the mailing list. Let Lazarus pop up after first install asking for usage info, but never ever have Lazarus/fpc send info in the back ground. Regards, Ger -- I wouldn't mind if on the first run of the Lazarus IDE after a new install, the IDE asked me if it could send some info to the web, like FPC version, OS, CPU, LCL version and Widgetset.

Re: [Lazarus] Regex and Syntax Highlighting
Hi Graeme, Have you seen Colorer-take5 on the following URL http://colorer.sourceforge.net/ ? It's cited in the tutorial you pointed at http://www.catch22.net/tuts/neatpad/18 . João Marcelo 2010/5/25 Graeme Geldenhuys graemeg.li...@gmail.com Hi, Does anybody know of a website or article I can read about how to integrate regular expressions with an editor to end up with a editor that can handle syntax highlighting. It doesn't need to be specific to Object Pascal (that would be too easy and ideal). ;-) For example, mcedit (from Midnight Commander), gEdit (Gnome's default editor) etc all use regex to handle there syntax highlighting. What I would like to find out is how to use regex with an editor component. Both are new to me, so yes, I'm down on both counts, but I am very eager to learn. :-) As far as I can see, I need to find out about the following requirements: * What events must the editor component make available (eg: OnLineDraw) * how to use regular expressions with such events * what if syntax highlighting spans multiple lines (eg: a multi-line comment in Object Pascal) * syntax definition file layout. I guess I can look at gEdit's spec. They use XML files to define each syntax highlighter. If I can piggy-back on there definition file, I'll instantly have a whole bunch of syntax highlighters available. And yes I was told before that using regex for syntax highlighting is slow, but I think that's a matter of implementation. The editors I have seen and used are more that fast enough even on large files. The huge benefit of external (runtime) syntax highlighting via something like regex is that it is very simple to extend by anybody that knows regex. This means, no need for custom components to do syntax highlighting like SynEdit, no recompiling of components or applications etc. Anyway, this editor component will form part of a larger project I am working on. I already have the basics of a editor component and need to find out what else I need to implement for syntax highlighting to be possible in that editor component. Any thoughts, suggestions, pointers - any information or links to information would be very helpful. I found a very nice article that explains the design of an editor that must support Unicode and Syntax Highlighting. So far the author has implemented the basic editor, Unicode support, but hasn't reaching the part I am interested in - syntax highlighting. :-( None the less, this is an interesting tutorial to read.
