asked on "Backward processing" Delphi 7 into Delphi 10.4
I am trying to "backward process" Delphi 10.4 back to Delphi 7. I found out so far, that one directory of 10.4 is four records,
"C:\Users\romde\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\CatalogRepository\AppHomeScreens-1.0\Src\HomeProject1.identcache" |
"C:\Users\romde\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\CatalogRepository\AppHomeScreens-1.0\Src\HomeProject1.stat" |
"C:\Users\romde\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\CatalogRepository\AppHomeScreens-1.0\Src\HomeProject1.dproj" |
"C:\Users\romde\OneDrive\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\CatalogRepository\AppHomeScreens-1.0\Src\HomeProject1.dproj.local" |
These records all go to one or more records of Embarcadero. I am not sure (at all) which other records these are. I do have all the records of my file from1994 that are all in the C:\ directory. However, this is no longer the case. That is why I am "backward processing" this. There are great costs to the application. It worked and I sold it. However, I had to change a bit, which was later on, and I could not do it. Now, all of the C:\ drive was somehow completely changed. I had to fin out where the new directory was, an in how many files. I do wonder WHY embarcadero doesn't provide a program, I call it "backward processing" or even upgrading the software from the old to the new!
Could one of you help me get my Delphi 7 files back to their location for Delphi 10.4 and that I never ever have to look into this again?
Thank you very much!
Downleveling software is a slow, painful process.
I told my team group - aprox. hundred times - backup is a mother of all developers.hmm. Not exactly. Code repositories are a must.
I would setup a new solution/project and copy the files to the places they belong.
