The Delphi Bug List

Wish list

Sometimes you find that a feature is missing in Delphi that 'definitely ought to be there' or something is not working the way one would expect (or find natural / intuitive).

Technically these are not bugs, so don't deserve a place on The Delphi Bug List. OTOH, one might say that these cases are 'design errors'.

Therefore, I decided to make a dedicate a special page for these cases on the Delphi Bug List and call this
the Wish List page.

The color codes indicate in which version(s) of Delphi the bug occurs and what its status is.

IDE

Change the Library Path from a string to a stringlist (from a TEdit to a TMemo).

Description: Reported by Marcel MarT; Why do we have to put up with a concatenated string of paths, when we could have a *list* of paths: much easier to inspect and edit. And no length limitation.
For Delphi 5 you might do something fancier: add a "recurse directories" option. This would let me designate a directory as the "root" for all my component and package directories. No more adding directories manually, just create a subdirectory from the "root"directory for the new component.
