Question to tsiLangExpert

Hi,

i have some questions to your suite.

1. i have an application with a lot of inherited forms. In the TsiLang Expert wizard all my inherited forms are not visible. How can i make these visible? I have a central datamodule with a dispatcher on it and on my base form an silangRT connected to the dispatcher. On the inherited forms i set inherited owner to true.

2. The same wizard. If i save my project to a sib-file it tooks round about 30 minutes. the cpu goes on 100% I have round about 170 forms. Is this behaviour normal?

Best greetings
Sven Heuer

Version: 6.0.3.3.

[Update] now the wizard is running over 1 hour. Every few minuets i see a new form opened by delphi. so the wizard is still running.

1. and 2. : This is for sure incorrect behavior and I think the origin of problem is in your project source. Please check your project source unit. It looks like there is something wrong in form and unit declaration in your project source.

You suggestion for the first was right.

myForm.pas in 'myform.pas' {frmForm} was missing.

I will change the project code. Thanks a lot

new problem

I created a new sib file. Now in just 2 minutes instead 1,5 hours. Great. Loading this file in the TsiLang Files Editor tooks very long. The file has a size of nearly 800 kb. After 5 minutes the file is loaded. Also unnormal?

I can send you the file?

Greetings
Sven

This already depends on your project forms. Expert opens each form and loads its translation from SIB when loading. So in case your forms contain a lot of components it may take some time for IDE to load them so this may cause such delay.

sorry, there must be a problem.

i do the following.

Loading the SIB file via Dispatcher1.LoadAllFromFile at runtime. Very quick.

Loading with the external Editor - 3 Minutes

in a form with an RTLangRT i do the following

invoked through a hotkey i call

siLangRT1.StorageFile := MainDM.siLangDispatcher1.FileName; // if not set i got file errors
siLangRT1.EditAll; //

I change something in the editor and say save. Now it tooks round about 3 minutes to save the change.

In each case the CPU raises to 100%.
May be that some BeginUpdate EndUpdate statements missing?

Could you please send us this SIB file to test?

Thank you for the file. Unfortunately, the size of file is quite big and it really takes few minutes to save and load it. You can try to reduce the file size by removing items that don't need translation.

Thanks for looking on it. Now we doing the translation inside the forms. Will be faster

Any chance to get this faster in the future?

We will try to find a way to improve the speed. But actually, there is used Delphi's component streaming method and it is quite fast.
