Microsoft OneDrive for Business modifies files as it syncs | Myce.com

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22

Wow: Microsoft OneDrive for Business modifies files as it syncs | Myce.com.

For now Microsoft Cloud Storage is not the place for my data to be.

(Note: OneDrive used to be called SkyDrive)

The only cloud storage that worked for me without too much trouble is Copy.com. My referral there: https://copy.com?r=3NGul6.

Call for help: Spring4D and Delphi MultiCast events: working for Win32, Win64 and Mac OS X x64, but Android/iOS ARM help needed.

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/22

Years after Allen Bauer and a few others wrote about Delphi MultiCast events, the Spring4D framework now supports MultiCast events on 3 platforms:

  • Win32
  • Win64
  • Mac OS x86

Depending on the platform, the minimum required Delphi version is this (the develop branch builds in Delphi XE6):

  • Win32: Delphi 2010 and up.
  • Win64: Delphi XE2 and up.
  • MacOSX: Delphi XE2 and up.

There are plans for support on Mobile platforms, and Spring4D needs help with that:

  • The Intel implementation is written in Assembly, and fast.
  • The Arm compiler does not allow Assembly language for various reasons.

So there is a need for an ARM solution not based on assembly in the Delphi code, preferably as cross-platform as possible. Read the rest of this entry »
