Hi All,
As suggested by Nick, this is a new thread to discuss what should be in the default build configuration dialog, the full configurability will be provided by a plugin that replaces the default one.
Below is pasted from previous thread.

I think for the core Execute command(s) a checkbox for whether to run without xterm/VTE per command for GUI programs is good.
This gives me an opening to start discussion on what functionality should
be
exposed by the core configuration dialog, thanks Nick. ;-)
I actually went back to 0.18.1 and looked at what is available there, and
I
think that the following need to be added, but I'm open to suggestions:
Hmm, this seems quite complicated. You know we accept current trunk as good, no need to rethink everything.
It is actually slightly simpler than current trunk.
The current trunk arrangement has one major problem though, the project settings and the non-project settings are configured in separate dialogs, having settings that interact in different places is very poor user interface design (which I accept responsibility for creating). I want to put them in one place.
- edit each of the "make" commands individually (0.18.1 has single
setting
shared by all three) 2. edit project build settings (don't exist in 0.18.1) for "make"
commands
only, not filetype 3. edit working directory for each command (doesn't exist in 0.18.1) 4. if above, remove "make in base path" since its no longer needed 5. for execute commands only, the option to run without terminal,
checkbox
(new) 6. single shared parsing regex per filetype (hidden setting, not in GUI
in
0.18.1, this is used for make commands as well based on current document)
It
might be less confusing to have another regex for the make commands as
well?
Actually I made a mistake here, the current trunk does have a separate "make" regex so keep that
Things to not make available (to avoid "dialog shock"):
- edit menu item label
- which commands are parsed and which are not
- which commands are stopable and which are not
- extra commands in sections (propose simple dialog allows editing 2
fieltype,3 make,2 execute) 5. change internal command locations (next/prev error, show dialog) 6. project filetype commands (just so the dialog is smaller) 7. parsing regex per command, source or global 8. viewing settings from non-editable sources ie default, system
filetypes,
plugins/internal
...
Cheers Lex
