How to add a new folder to the IDE component pallet

[Derz]

When I tried to add a new component to the IDE in code which worked with Delphi, I hosed my Lazarus installation.  It would not run, I had to reinstall.  The Line of code in causing the issue (no error in compiling or anywhere) was..

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure Register;
2. begin
3.   RegisterComponents('MyComponents',[TMyStringGrid]);
4. end;

I searched but could not find a means of adding a new "folder" to the IDE component pallet.  I assume there must be a way to add "MyComponents".

In your shown code all is cool so error must be somewhere else.
Here is a small example of a full code, maybe you find in yours a difference.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. unit MyComponent_register;
2.  
3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
4.  
5. interface
6.  
7. uses
8.   Classes, SysUtils, MyComponentU;
9.  
10. procedure Register;
11.  
12. implementation
13.  
14. {$R mycomponent.dcr}
15.  
16. { Registration }
17. procedure Register;
18. begin
19.   RegisterComponents('My Component', [TMyComponent]);
20. end;
21.  
22. end.

Seeing KodeZwerg's affirmation that the technique I used should work, I tried again, and it did work.  The I presume that during the IDE Rebuild, something went wrong due to a corrupt file or something.  The Lazarus reinstall must have fixed that.
