Yep, when nothing works, what do you do? First, I have asked Techsmith for a refund, Camtasia Studio 5.1 is not working at all in Vista under Parallels. I will go with a MacOSX product instead. It will be native at least, no extra layers to cause troubles.

Second, the docking library from AutomatedQA is not working with my project, it re-creates all children controls handles everytime the docking panel is resized. This simply doesn’t work with PIDE 2.0. I might have to ask for a refund from them too. Crap.

Now, where the hell am I going to find a docking panel system for Delphi? If you guys know of any that is working great, please let me know.

PPL 1.52 will be delayed until tomorrow most probably. I have fixed some more issues today, nothing big but more is better I believe. My main priority is PPL 2.0, so I have to fix the docking issues first.

As promised earlier in a previous post, I will be creating videos of PPL 2.0. To do this, I had to find the right tool for the job. I went for Camtasia Studio 5 from Techsmith. It is a bit expansive but it does a very good job.

Here is a list of all the videos that we are planning:

• Introduction to PPL 2.0
• Hello World project
• The Find Wizard
• Creating a Windows Mobile application
• Your first game with PPL 2.0

There will be more I am sure. More on this later…
