I am creating dozens of scripts containing a ton (literally hundreds!) of Delphi Build events. I use copy/paste to set most of the properties but, of course, need to change a few things like the Project Name, Description, and Resource Manifest on each one. I use variables and keep the properties the same as far as possible but am wondering if there’s a way to automate the naming of the Resource Manifest file to use the same base name as the project and just change the extension to “.manifest”.
I was going to ask for a minor GUI enhancement to widen that dialog box because when I click on “Resource Compiler” to set the Manifest Filename, the “General” tab scrolls out of view on the left; so, the next Build Project action I add, instead of being able to just click on the General tab, I have to use the tiny buttons in the upper-right of the dialog to scroll it back into view so I can click on it (or just Ctrl+Tab). If the dialog box were just a little wider, it would save a couple of seconds. Better yet, if there was a variable to use the current , I wouldn’t have to change the Manifest filename but it would simply use the base Project filename set on the “Project” tab.
