It is the second – italic – paragraph what I always forget. Thanks Mark Embling!
To move a file or set of files using tortoise, right-click-and-drag the target files to their destination and release the right mouse button. The popup menu will have a ‘SVN move versioned files here’ option.
Note that the destination folder must have already been added to the repository for the ‘SVN move versioned files here’ option to appear.
Yes, it is also in the TortoiseSVN documentation under Deleting, Moving and Renaming and Copying/Moving/Renaming Files and Folders. But those are lacking emphasis on the the italic stuff.

ModelMaker Code Explorer (MMX for short) stores the keyboard shortcuts in the registry.
I’ve had it occur once that somehow most (about 95%) of the shortcuts got lost.
Two thinks I learned from resurrecting the shortcuts:
- MMX writes these settings when you exit Delphi
- Only a few keys (with lots of values under them) store the keys.
To resurrect them,

A short while ago, I wrote about Linux: getting the correct license file for AntiVir.
Too bad that I recently read about the Discontinuation of Antivirus solutions for Linux systems on June 30th 2016.
This means the hbedv.key cannot be downloaded any more.

This is yet another post of some information I wish I had known years ago.
AllPinouts: a site that lists pin layouts of common and not so common hardware.
When writing this, the site had Statistics indicating over 3500 pages and close to 1000 pin layouts.
Layouts include cables and connectors for audio, video, computing and much much more.
These were the pin layouts I needed:
I found the 3 and 4 pin layouts also on this page: Desktop Boards — 3-wire and 4-wire fan connectors.
Another site with lots of Power Connectors is Toms Hardware. A good starting page is Additional Power Connectors: Peripheral, Floppy, And SATA – Power Supply 101: A Reference Of Specifications.
The reason I needed it was to add a front case fan to a couple of HP XW6600 workstations in order to improve cooling.
Both 80mm and 92mm fans will fit.
A couple of links:

I’ve succesfully woken up these machines:
- HP XW6600 running ESXi 5.1
- ThinkPad W701U running Windows 7
I still need to try to wake up a Mac Mini Server running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
MacBook Air on 10.7 (Lion) and Retina on 10.8 (Mountain Lion) won’t work as they are WiFi only, and WOL does not work over WiFi.
On 10.7 and up it might not work on a Mac Mini Server either, as Apple Introduced Dark Wake.
I used these tools to send WOL packets: Read the rest of this entry »

Late binding sometimes is your friend:
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objWord.Version
Wscript.Echo "Build: " & objWord.Build
objWord.Quit
The accompanying Delphi code:
uses
System.Win.ComObj;
procedure TTestVersionAgnosticWordMainForm.GetWordApplicationInfoButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
WordApplication: OleVariant;
Version: OleVariant;
Build: OleVariant;
begin
WordApplication := CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
try
try
Version := WordApplication.Version;
Build := WordApplication.Build;
LogMemo.Lines.Add(Version);
LogMemo.Lines.Add(Build);
finally
WordApplication.Quit;
end;
finally
WordApplication := Unassigned; // release it
end;
end;

A while ago, some of the TODO comments in my source code disappeared from the TODO list.
I wondered why, so I found this question: How set up todo list categories in Delphi 2010?.
The Delphi TODO item syntax in source code comments is like this (thanks Nelson H C Nepomuceno):
{ TODO 1 -cImportant :Do this!}
// TODO 1 -cImportant: Do this!
My comment there, after I found out I had done a stupid global search replace involving colons:
The important thing is the colon somewhere after the TODO. If you do not have the colon, then the TODO list will not show the comment. Anything after the colon will be the action item in the TODO list.

Found out where the StackOverflow Pascal has its origins: What happened to comments in syntax highlighter? – Meta Stack Overflow.
Like any syntax highlighter, it is not perfect (only a Delphi compiler driven highlighter would have a chance to be perfect), but it does a pretty good job and gets better over time.
