Has anyone used VersionInsight Plus in the latest Delphi Versions?

Has anyone used VersionInsight Plus in the latest Delphi Versions?

Since the homepage of Uwe Schuster has been down for quite a while (man, bring that back up please!) there is no official setup and the source on SF cannot be built without modifications (which I don't have the time to figure out).

I am missing the overlay icons, blame and all that cool stuff.

  1. Yes.  Try this: https://bitbucket.org/ByteJuggler/radstudioverins-plus which I did to update our Delphi for later SVN as well as Git and Mercurial support.  That should be mostly there.  If you run into any issues let me know and I'll try and clean it up.

  2. The packages there are not for XE6 (190 is XE5). I really want to have something that I just can compile and that works. Anyway the packages are not needed imo as they ship with Delphi.

    DelphiSVN200.dll compiled now (used the SF source as that already contained XE6 support) One reason always to include the dproj in VCS because it stores the options for runtime packages.
    Still missing the DesignIDEPro200.bpl now because that is the one responsible for the overlay icons. But I guess only Uwe has that.

  3. Stefan Glienke There seems to be a commit for XE6 in the branches (http://sourceforge.net/p/radstudioverins/code/HEAD/tree/)

    Or have I got the wrong URL?

  4. Nicholas Ring The DesignIDEPro bpl is the thing I am looking for because that brought the overlay icons. I actually don't care for opening a project from git, hg or svn or commiting from within the IDE but I always liked to see what files have changed without switching over to some commit window or to SourceTree (or TortoiseSVN) which I am using to manage version control.

    For XE I always used the VersionInsight Beta10 installer - but now we are back to stoneage where we have to get source, compile it ourself and modify registry to install that -.-

  5. Stefan Glienke So that is the right project then?

    Totally agree with you about moving backwards :-( Like you, I have a copy of the beta 10 installer (which has found itself the way to work)

  6. Nicholas Ring Yes and I was surprised to see some recent comments of Uwe because otherwise he vanished from the Delphi community but obviously he's still out there somewhere ;)

    I would welcome getting the DesignIDEPro source or a compiled version or even an up to date setup.

  9. Warren Postma I ran into a similar issue when dealing with the Plus branch -- the issue is due to conflicts with pre-existing (DCP et al ) files as I recall.  There wasn't really a major problem, just version numbers and a few missing unit references etc.

  10. You're right walter. I deleted my comment so I could post an update. Once I clean the DCU/DCP out of the bds\#.0\bin folder all three build.

  11. Uwe Raabe Did you get in contact with Uwe?

    Any news on VersionInsightPlus for XE5/XE6, esp. the overlay icon in the editor tabs or in project manager listview?
    That stuff is located in "DesignIDEProXXX.bpl", for which the sourcecode is not available. Several weeks ago I've tried to make a simple package which contains ToolsAPIPro.pas, but that didn't work (sorry, I forgot the details). Any ideas how to reverse-engineer that bpl to find out which units or packages must be includes in a DesignIDEPro.dpk? tdump?
