madExcept was built to help you locating crashes in your software. Whenever there’s a crash/exception in your program, madExcept will automatically catch it, analyze it, collect lots of useful information, and give the end user the possibility to send you a full bug report.

Some facts:

• no need to distribute additional files, cause madExcept is fully linked into your executable
• the size of your executable file grows only by some percent (usually single digit)
• you don’t need to change a single line of code in your project
• there’s no performance loss, as long as no exception occurs
• full support for multi threaded applications
• full support for third party translation tools
• full support for third party protection/compression tools

Tabs get inefficient as soon as you have more than 10 tabs opened. The project manager is better, but it can take you some time to find your file when you have hundreds of them. And both methods make you use the mouse, which is good some times, but not so much others.

The observation that ‘inspired’ this expert is that you are normally working on the 3-4 last files you accessed. So, this gives you a very fast way to switch between them. Just press Alt-Ctrl-Tab, keep pressing Tab without releasing Alt-Ctrl, and you can select the icon of the file you want to work with. It behaves similar to Alt-Tab on windows, it does not just switch between tabs (like ctrl-tab, or Alt-Tab on Windows 3.1), it shows the icons of the files and lets you choose the one you want. Icons are different for different file types, and files from other projects are shown on black and white.

Have you ever felt irritation when you have no sufficient workspace for comfortable work in Delphi or C++Builder?

In Borland’s Delphi and C++ Builder the “Object Inspector” limits the workspace at the left and the IDE ToolBar limits the workspace at the top. Therefore you are left with a very small space for form design and coding. You can’t see the full-sized editing screen, you can’t see all components at once in the complex forms, and you need to move the form for access to the ObjectInspector or to the main IDE ToolBar.
It’s just… very uncomfortable, isn’t it?
