How to force MadExcept settings to re-read data from Mantis?

Post by Outertech »

I have used MadExcept with the Mantis Bug Tracker on Project A. Everything worked fine.

Now I want to use it with Project B. I've created a new account and new project in Mantis and entered the server data into Delphi IDE Project menu -> MadExcept settings. But in the project list only Project A is visible. How to force Madexcept to reload the data from the server?

A good idea may be to make the field user editable. A test button would be also great.

Basically if you change any of the Mantis related settings (e.g. server path), the settings dialog waits for 10 seconds. Then if you don't do any more changes, it rechecks the new settings and reloads all important data from the server. You should be able to see the behaviour by looking at the right side question mark icons. They turn activate 10 seconds after you did the last change.

Originally I tested changes much quicker than 10 seconds, but that caused some problems (I don't remember which problems exactly), so I changed it to 10 seconds.

Thanks. Waiting for 10 seconds did work.
