I'm doing some cleanup in my Delphi XE2 IDE in order to minimize the loaded packages and as a consequence of less things in the IDE try to make it a little more stable (man, how it crashes).
The main reason for doing this was that the Refactor shortcuts was conflictling with other tools I use and usually when I hit a refactor shortcut by mistake the IDE wold load a lot of stuff and crash with some .NET error, so I got rid of the Delphi default refactor functions.
To get rid of it I just removed the "refactoride160.bpl - Core Refactoring Package" from the registry and it did work.
But I noticed that there are a lot of other packages without description in the registry and I think it is interesting to know what are these packages in order to know what can be safely removed.
I know that there is some implications on removing the packages and it can be pointed out, but the main goal of this question is to understand better what is loaded on the IDE so I can tune it to my use.
Here are the entries from the registry, notice that there are a lot of Untitled packages, where can I find info about those? Which can be safely removed?

As far I know a full list with the description of the Delphi IDE bpl's doesn't exist, but as a starting point (and following the Sertac suggestion) you can extract the description of each bpl-file using the version info estructure. Using this info will give you some clues what the primary function of each bpl is.
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}
uses
IOUtils,
Classes,
Windows,
SysUtils;
type
TLangAndCP = record
wLanguage : word;
wCodePage : word;
end;
PLangAndCP = ^TLangAndCP;
Function GetFileDescription(const FileName : string) : string;
var
dwLen : integer;
ZValue : Cardinal;
lpData : PChar;
Lang : PLangAndCP;
LangLen : cardinal;
SubBlock : string;
Value : PChar;
Len : cardinal;
begin
Result:='';
dwLen:=GetFileVersionInfoSize(PChar(FileName),ZValue);
if dwLen>0 then
begin
lpData:=AllocMem(dwLen);
GetFileVersionInfo(PChar(FileName),0,dwLen,lpData);
VerQueryValue(lpData,PChar('\\VarFileInfo\\Translation'),Pointer(Lang),LangLen);
SubBlock:=Format('\\StringFileInfo\\%.4x%.4x\\%s',[Lang^.wLanguage,Lang^.wCodePage,'FileDescription']);
VerQueryValue(lpData,PChar(SubBlock),Pointer(Value),Len);
Result:=Value;
FreeMem(lpData,dwLen);
end;
end;
Var
LFileName : string;
List : TStrings;
begin
try
List:=TStringList.Create;
try
for LFileName in TDirectory.GetFiles('C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\bin', '*.bpl') do
List.Add(Format('%-30s %s',[ExtractFileName(LFileName), GetFileDescription(LFileName)]));
List.SaveToFile('BplDesc.txt');
finally
List.Free;
end;
except
on E: Exception do
Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
end;
end.

And if you need it... my source code:
unit main;
interface
uses
Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.ComCtrls, System.IOUtils, System.Types, Vcl.Clipbrd;
type
TfrmMain = class(TForm)
lvBPLs: TListView;
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
frmMain: TfrmMain;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
uses uWxPlatform;
procedure TfrmMain.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
// dir : TDirectory;
files: TStringDynArray;
bpl : string;
fvi : TFileVersionInfo;
sl : TStringList;
begin
sl := TStringList.Create;
try
files := TDirectory.GetFiles('C:\Program Files (x86)\RAD Studio\9.0\bin', '*.bpl');
for bpl in files do
begin
with lvBPLs.Items.Add do
begin
Caption := ChangeFileExt(ExtractFileName(bpl), '');
TMisc.GetAppVersionInfo(bpl, fvi);
SubItems.Add(fvi.fFileDescription);
sl.Add('''' + Caption + ''': ' + fvi.fFileDescription);
end;
end;
sl.Sort;
Clipboard.AsText := sl.Text;
finally
sl.Free;
end;
end;
end.
Just in case anybody is interested: I wrote a tool to disable Known IDE Packages by moving the entries to a different registry key, so they can be enabled again if there is a problem. This tool also reads the description and additional information from the package (using SysUtils.GetPackageDescription and SysUtils.GetPackageInfo) as well as from the version information.
It works for Delphi 6 to 10.4 and could probably easily adapted to work with older versions if need arises.
It's available from OSDN
