Lazarus Pascal - Linux/GTK3 - What dependencies do I need to install for FPCUpDeluxe

Hans — Fri, 09 Oct 2026 11:06:04 +0000

As a non-default Linux user, I always get confused about what needs to be installed to get FPCUpDeluxe to run.
In this case specifically the GTK3 version.

So for those looking for this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential make binutils gdb git subversion zip unzip libx11-dev libgtk-3-dev libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev

Question about using ConnectMeNow4 at work

itnetworkkmg — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 01:46:31 +0000

Hello Hans,

I’ve been testing ConnectMeNow4 on a Mac at work and wanted to check the license terms before continuing to use it.

This isn’t for an official company-wide deployment or anything like that. I’m just using it to connect to a few shared folders on our internal network.

Connecting to one share works fine normally, but I ran into an issue with macOS when trying to connect to two or more shares on the same server/IP address. I tried ConnectMeNow4 and it worked without any problems, so I’d like to keep using it for this purpose.

I saw that ConnectMeNow4 is free, and I also found a few forum posts mentioning corporate users, but I couldn’t find anything that clearly says whether using it in a workplace or on a company-owned Mac is allowed.

Would it be okay to use ConnectMeNow4 free of charge in this situation, just for connecting to internal company network shares?

I’m not planning to redistribute, modify, resell, or bundle the app with anything. I just wanted to make sure I’m not overlooking any license restrictions before using it at work.

Thanks for your help, and also for making ConnectMeNow4.

Best regards,

mgkim

Lazarus Pascal - macOS - Fix Lazarus pascal Error: Identifier not found "CocoaPromptUser"

Hans — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:45:16 +0000

For some reason things have changed in the unit CocoaInt, which results in an error when calling "CocoaPromptUser".
The error message: Identifier not found "CocoaPromptUser"

The fix:

In the unit CocoaInt, the prompt is now part of the TCocoaWidgetSet class (linked to the global variable CocoaWidgetSet).
Additional thing to know: the last 2 parameters one used to use in CocoaPromptUser are not longer needed.

Old code example

ButtonPressed := CocoaPromptUser(DialogCaption, DialogMessage ,DialogTypeID, ButtonArrayPtr, ButtonCount, DefaultIndex, 0, NSParentWindow, true);

The last 2 parameters (NSParentWindow, true) are no longer needed, and the function is now called through CocoaWidgetSet.PromptUser.

The new code:

ButtonPressed := CocoaWidgetSet.PromptUser(DialogCaption, DialogMessage ,DialogTypeID, ButtonArrayPtr, ButtonCount, DefaultIndex, 0);

Hope this is helpful to someone 😊

Sorry if this is a noob question, fresh to mint, so ... Rename My TV Series runs, I can choose my language, the other fields are accessible, BUT I can't enter anything in the upper left search field (I used RMTS with mac and win before). It's like there is no field there.

Little help, please?

ConnectMeNow 4.0.27ß - After restarting Macbook, all connections are gone

Anonymous — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 19:56:57 +0000

Hi,

I have the problem with beta version 4.0.27 that everytime I restart my Macbook Air M1 with Golden Gate 27 (but it happend also with Sequioa) all my saved network shares are gone. When I start ConnectMeNow after rebooting I got a box, that asks, that it seems that I start CMN for the first time and that it would like to make a sample share. When I say no, I have an empty ShareDefinitions window and I have to load a backup config to get my old config back. Seems like a bug to me.

Regards

Beta 4.0.27 - No separator in the UI?

Anonymous — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 18:26:28 +0000

Hi there,

Thanks so much for this software! I use it every day and it's an incredibly convenient little program.

In the latest version, it seems like when I create a separator, it doesn't appear in the UI. This is even when I have "Add Horizontal line" and "Display as Sub Menu" checked.

Best,

Jon

The Old version whas fast and direct, now it taake time just to add files to the list

Anonymous — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 13:19:48 +0000

Hi guys from dev

Not sure what is going on, however i like the software very much, that is way i am taking the time to comment.

For some reason the new UI settigs is complicated, and some of the info only helps developers to understand the option it refers to it.

Here is the list of issues, for me:

- About form on top of all other windows.

- Takes time just to add files from HD to the list. Even if all options in "File Handling" is unchecked

- Unble to select what browser to open when clicking on links. e.g. "https://www.tweaking4all.com" in the about page.

- Info in some options are not clear for common users.

All the best and thanks.

Hello from Portland, Oregon - RMTV as a container

IAmHugh — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 16:31:17 +0000

It's been a long long while since I've been in hope all is well with you.

I was wonder if you ever considered port RMTV to a container for Podman / Docker? I just had Autobrr, Flaresolverr, Jackett,

TheLounge, Prowlarr, Radarr, and Sonarr put in Podman running from a secondary drive as containers so if I reinstall my OS

I can be back up with my arr stack very quickly. It would be nice to add RMTV to that stack even though I currently back up

RMTV's program folder.

WinGet version now out of date.

Anonymous — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 06:46:28 +0000

Rename My TV Series' entry in the WinGet package manager hasn't been updated and is stuck at v 2.0.10.

For those of us that like to keep our software updated this way, would it be possible to get WinGet updated to the latest version please?

Rename My TV Series - Not replacing special characters in series name

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 11:57:05 +0000

Hi!

I use Rename My TV Series 2.3.12 (Build 21) on Linux and use the default settings for replacing special characters.

When renaming episodes of the series "Hubert und/ohne Staller" (https://www.thetvdb.com/series/253327-show) it doesn't replace the character "/" with "_" but creates the folder "Hubert und" with the subfolder "ohne Staller" (according to the Linux way creating folders).

How can I get the correct replacement for the series name?

Thanks and regards
