Windows 10: Remove OneDrive item from Explorer

Some days ago I installed Windows 10 which wants you to use Microsoft’s OneDrive cloud solution. Like the Windows versions before the Explorer integrates some items in the navigation area that you might not need, like the OneDive link. The Explorer itself does not provide any option to hide this item, but you can do that via registry:

Firefox only saves 3 windows per default – extend it!

Oh my lovely firefox… Today I had to restart my computer because of important Windows updates. So I closed every application, including four Firefox windows, in mind, that Firefox restores every single window. The problem is, that this browser only saves 3 windows per default, not more! So be careful with how many windows you work, respectively how many windows you want Firefox to restore!

Update: Editor Theme for Delphi IDE (Version 7-XE2)

Because I do not work with Delphi since some time, I had not the time to provide an updated version of the Delphi IDE theme, so it works with XE3-XE5. But there is a guy from DelphiPRAXiS who updated the theme, so now it’s available for alle IDEs since Delphi 7. Thank You, Rolf Warnecke, for your help und support!

Click here to open the download page on www.bis-programmierung.de which provides the theme for Delphi 7 to XE5.

Some days ago Embarcadero published the new version of the Delphi IDE, called XE2. Rolf Warnecke has already ported the theme to this version and here it is :)

Today I recieved the new version of the my favorite IDE called Delphi XE. Some time ago I created a kind of theme for the its editor so it looks a lil’ bit nicer (for me ;) ). Now I updated the theme so it supports the new version too. You can find my old (german) post below.

Visualisierung großer Datenmengen in Business-Anwendungen

Da ich zurzeit wieder einmal eine Business-Anwendung für einen größeren Konzern schreibe und erneut vor dem Problem stehe, wie ich dem Benutzer die Daten präsentiere. Im Allgemeinen kann man mit einer Tabellen-Struktur nichts falsch machen, in so fern die zu zeigenden Daten gleich wichtig sind, aber das gelbe vom Ei ist es dann nun doch nicht, wie ich finde. Jedenfalls sitze ich im Moment schon seit über 2 Stunden über neueren Konzepten, die allerdings nicht unbedingt Praxistauglich sind. Zudem finde ich immer wieder mehr Argumente für eine Tabelle – im Folgenden eine kleine Liste der wichtigsten Argumente – als für ein anderes Konzept.
