How to add a custom icon in the SPYDER, using which need to perform custom action.
(Spyder developer here) This is not possible right now, unless you modify Spyder source code and distribute those changes yourself.
However, we're working to allow this in our next major version, i.e. Spyder 4.

I want to send the file I'm currently editing to a printer, like I did in Notepad++ for example.
I havn't found any hint on a print command. Is it not possible ?
It is not yet available, but I found an issue report for that feature.
It's currently in the backlog, so we can expect it soon.

Now you can install addon for VS Code - search "PrintCode".
Note that the repository for this extension was last updated in February 2018 with numerous issues outstanding.
I found the PrintCode extension inspiring but unfinished and with a number of flaws. In particular it depends on a specific paper size to wrap and as a result does not respond well if you change paper size or orientation in the print dialog.
It's open source so I looked at the code and didn't like that either. No programmer ever likes another's coding style. So I pinched the idea of using a web-browser as platform driver for HTML printing -- my hat is off to the PrintCode author for that cunning insight -- and wrote my own.
In the process I fixed all the known bugs, added everything on my wishlist and a couple of things suggested by others. The biggest thing was figuring out the CSS required to respect print dialog paper size and orientation. This also sorts out the mysterious disappearing line numbers problem, although I'm not sure why. The next biggest thing was learning to probe for an unused port, a problem that also afflicts PrintCode causing the browser to open showing no content.
Major issues
PrintCode depends on a web service. You can't use it offline.
Many people want to be able to open a file, select a portion and print just the selection.
The print dialog supports changing paper size and orientation. This clashes with the way PrintCode works.
Some people like to run multiple VS Code windows.
When you print a markdown file, you probably don't want it printed like a text file when it can be rendered with fonts and proper headings and bullets etc.
Support is required for remote workspaces.
Because each instance of VS Code needs a different port for its embedded webserver, you can't just use a setting. Dynamic port allocation is necessary.
Remote workspaces weren't even a thing until two years after maintenance ceased on PrintCode.
If you want to survey your options, get onto https://marketplace.visualstudio.com, choose the Visual Studio Code tab and search for printing.
If you just want a link to my version, it's here http://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pdconsec.vscode-print.
If you like what you see but need something I haven't thought of, the marketplace page has a link to the repo on github. Create an issue and tell me what you need -- or write it yourself and submit a PR.
Now there is an extension available for printing from the VS Code Editor.
It's called VS Code Printing Free.
I've tried it for a couple of days and it works fine.
Poor man's answer: Copy code to Notepad2 or Notepad++ and print from there.
The colour coding will be different though
You can use an Extension of VS Code: PrintCode
Install extension PrintCode
On Mac: command + shift + P
choose command> PrintCode
I have modified the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pdconsec.vscode-print. If you change the values that I have marked in the picture in the extension settings a browser tab opens with the you can then print this also works on the Ipad. It works also with the code-server Version inside a Docker Container.
I put the file on github https://github.com/chrishdx/vsc-print

First Question:
Is it possible to show the Users preview Pictures for every Feature?
If they go with the mouse on the Feature I want to have a description
and a preview Picture from the elements to install!
For example: for a Game different Modifications!
I can't find this function in the Installer and I think I have searched a lot!
And second question:
Is it possible to disable the "advanced Installer" inscription on every Installer side?
1) The standard MSI controls do not support this kind of user interaction. However, Advanced Installer does have an UI theme for the dialogs where you can use HTML and JS to render a custom UI for the end users. You could try use that.
2) Yes, but only if you have a license for the Enterprise or Architect edition. You can customize your dialogs in any way you desire, from Dialogs page.
The same license is also required to try to the solution from the first question.
With the trial version of Advanced Installer you can use any of these feature for 30 days, for free.
Every application seems to start with me taking a similar app, thowing out the "meat" of it and using the skeleton for my new project.
I don't always get all that I want from a previous project, nor do I need everything from it, but certain things keep cropping up again and again:
about box (with contact email being generated from the app name & version number direct from the project options)
splash screen (source & duration)
only allow single copy to run
prevent task switching
acccept dropped files?
minimaize to tray
hide from task manager
recent files list
that sort of thing.
I used too have such a skeleton for C++ Builder, years ago. It just read an .INI file and customized the app's behaviour accordingly.
Before I take the trouble to port it to Delphi, does anyone know of anything similar which is freely available?
You can simply create your skeleton project and add it to the repository (IDE menu Project\Add to Repository).
If you want to be able to dynamically create different projects based on some parameters (user input) you can also write a wizard using the OpenTools API.
I made installer with Inno Setup. It consist of multiple executables all located in Program Files "APP" folder. But for every executable there's different subfolder in this "APP" folder.
Because every executable is different from purpose, I want to create uninstaller where I can choose, which component I want to uninstall (for example Change button in Add/Remove programs). At the moment uninstaller removes all the applications.
One option is to create different installer for every component and then create installer that contains other installers, but this is too weird.
Is it possible to create custom uninstaller with option to select which component I want to uninstall?
What seems that you need is a modify/repair setup option to your application's setup, right?
Take a look in this extension named UninsHs
Note: Searching in Google I've found another newer version in other site, but I am not sure if it is legit.
It is possible to do in the Inno uninstaller but it won't "fit in" with the wizard style, and will require showing your own forms, and cancelling the uninstall when you've removed the bits you want.
An alternative is to use the setup (which is slightly better suited for this) and handle components being ticked and unticked.
Both of these will require fairly extensive [Code] being written though.
I have to stay away from my MacBook and will use Windows for a while. I missed Textmate's folder view when editing my rails projects. Is there an editor on Windows with the folder view? I know there is the E text editor. But I'll save a few bucks if there is a free (cheaper) alternative, as I won't stay in Windows for long ...
Go with gVim, and when editing a file you can type :edit. to pull up the working directory, and navigate from there. Also you get geek cred for rolling VI!
Have a look at Komodo Edit. Some people are already using it for Rails development.
Netbeans is full scale open-source ruby/rails-editor with a folder-view.
Programmer's Notepad is a very lightweigt open source text-editor, it has a "project"-view (but you have to define the project yourself).
The Zeus Lite programmer's editor has a folders view (i.e. View, Navigator menu) feature and it is also free.
Best one I just found.. "programmers notepad".. It's got different coloring for different languages. (though i always turn that off) and it allows you to map keys..
It also has a hand tree view where you can have "magic folders" that show all the files in a given folder. It is very sleek..
One irk.. to make it so you can have two projects open at the same time, you need to go to options and set the exe to allow multiple instances... I'd have rather seen that as default, but it's easy to fix.
Oh and it's free.
Not that you asked, but bluefish seems to be quite good on linux. Has a similar feel. It's a fast little editor.
emacs has speedbar, diredit mode, other option.
This is speedbar:
