Show 64-bit or 32-bit in the caption of Lazarus
Igor Kokarev:
Hi,
I suggest to display "32-bit" or "64-bit" in the caption of Lazarus.
I work with both versions and switch very often and it's difficult to check if I run the correct version for me.

As a workaround and while you wait for the feature to be added to Lazarus, you can use Process Hacker 2 or Process Explorer (both free downloads). In Process Hacker ensure you've selected "Bits" as a column, in Process Explorer, under Process Image, select "Image Type".
That will allow you to quickly check any program's bitness. Both utilities provide a wealth of information about a process which is often useful when debugging.
HTH.
ETA: take what follows with a grain of salt since I have not tested it.
It seems that it would be easy to add the feature you've asked for, yourself. If you open Lazarus.lpi, you'll see "Application.Title := 'Lazarus';". It would seems that simply changing the title to include the bitness would satisfy your request. Simply check what the size of a pointer is and, if 8 then append '64bit' to the title, otherwise append "32bit" (or something along those lines.)
Bart:
Use {$ifdef CPU32} or {$ifdef CPU64}, no need to check pointersizes.
B.t.w.: I would not like to have that in the caption of in Lazarus.
Especially because it says nothing about the target of the project you have opened in it (it's bitness may very well differ).

Just click: "Help -> About Lazarus" and check the platform in the dialog, as seen in the attached image.
