Freeware Tools from PA-Soft

 We create Windows applications of any type for your company and your business: PA-Soft IT-Services

Embarcadero Delphi today is one of the leading applications for software developers and software engineers to create application programs and other software products.

The built-in MRU list in the Delphi IDE has only a limited capacity of projects (default = 10, maximum = 100). You can configure the number in the Delphi IDE here:
Options -> User Interface -> Reopen Menu -> Capacity: Number of projects
(We recommend setting the number to 100, as you have a powerful tool at your disposal to manage your Delphi Projects: Delphi MRU Project Manager). 

Considering these limitations, we decided to create Delphi MRU Project Manager as a free Open-Source application for the Delphi Community.

At program start, Delphi MRU Project Manager automatically shows a list of all Most Recently Used Delphi Projects from all Delphi IDE versions on your computer in the fraction of a second. And despite having so many powerful features, the program is INCREDIBLY FAST! The following screenshots illustrate various features of Delphi MRU Project Manager:

Example - Adding a Project from the Project-List to a Project-Group:

Latest changes in version 0.8.7:

    - Added a DropDown Menu to a Tool Button that shows all known IDEs on the computer (see screenshot above): A checked menu item means that the IDE is currently running.
      Click a checked menu item to bring that IDE to the FOREGROUND. Click an unchecked menu item to LAUNCH that IDE.
      Then you can drag a Project from the Project-List to the activated/launched IDE window to load the Project in the IDE.
    - Added Usability Options to control the properties of the Tool Hints:
      - Show Tool Hints underneath the mouse pointer or not
      - Show Tool Hints in the Status Bar or not
      - Set the display time of the Tool Hint underneath the mouse pointer
    - Added a specific Text Hint to the Search Box for each Search Mode
    - Added an option to group the Project-List by Delphi Version
    - Fixed a glitch that caused a crash when the user resized the Project-List to an unreasonable small width

This is a by-product from the PA-RUN development: I needed a test-tool to check the certificates in EXE files and I did not find anything on the Internet, as the only program I found was from "the world's industry leader for digital certificates" which is supposed to check certificates only shows a few lines:

So I wrote the needed program myself and this is the result: CERTFROMEXE.

Well, CERTFROMEXE can extract certificates from ANY signed EXE file (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and does it very well and decodes a lot of information (much more than the DigiCert Certificate utility) from the signed exe file - the Certificate text itself, the Certificate's metadata, the data of the certificate's issuer and the data of the certificate's subject (download):

With Add A Caption you can quickly and easily add a highly configurable caption to a picture. This useful tool has features lacking even from advanced and expensive graphics programs. Add a beautiful nice-looking and informative caption to any picture in a second!
