Hi,

In my opinion "Debugger type and path" should be under Project Options" and not under "IDE Options" (where it is now).

I need to develop and debug my project in both X86 and X86_64 cpu target, so everytime I need to switch between gbd for X86 and for X86_64 (in "IDE Options").

What do you think about it?

Thanks,
Kjow

Actually, probably both. Keep the global setting and allow the project to override it. same for the list of ignored exceptions...

It's just a question of finding the time to implement it.

IMHO just creating a duplicate of the setting, will do the trick BUT might easily lead to mis-configuration. Config must be very easy to check, so if people run into trouble (and enough people do) then a few questions by mail should be enough to check it.

So maybe best would be (open for other ideas), if both global option dialog and project option dialog would allow to see both settingsi (similar to the editor color options, where you have toolbuttons to toggle global-scheme and language setting)
