Simplify the Program Setup dialog, block OK +if neither program nor script is specified. Update the documentation. + +Replace the "Temporary breakpoint on load" with "Break on startup", using +gdb 7.7+ -exec-run --start. Simplify the startup sequence. Place a label +near the checkbox that gdb 7.7 is required. Update the documentation. +Convert the temporary location if any to a regular breakpoint?.. + +Windows: add "Break on ExitProcess" and "Break on TerminateProcess" to +Debug -> More?.. Useful for stopping at console program exit, since the +console now closes automatically. + +Write more friendly documentation. The current one now seems a bit haughty. + +Add a setting for the gdb version, along with a "Detect" button? We only +need it for -exec-run --start, the double-escape bug under in the Windows +breakpoint list (fixed between 7.6.1 and 7.9.1) and the var-update bug, +which was fixed at some point. Doesn't seem worth. + +Add a (renew the?) PR for the project-before-save signal. + +Correct locale from/to utf8 for variables under Windows: utils_get_...() +from Geany should be g_locale_from/to_utf8(). Maybe provide a default Auto +setting which detects utf8-or-locale? + +Add a [ ] Pending checkbox in the breakpoints menu? Currently a breakpoint +that succeeds can't be marked as pending for the next child runs. + +Create a PR for ui_setup_open_button_callback. It was discussed long time +ago, but ended without a resolution. + +"No breakpoints. Hanging." - with a program or script always present, this +should be a per-program option. Also improve the text. + +Per-program gdb executable. 3-rd tab "GDB" in the Program Setup dialog. Move +the gdb prefs there, including the bugs. Verify that the registers are +re-queried on gdb change. A few more gdb options, maybe CL options too, for +example --quiet, but only ones that can't be set via script. + +set_error -> set_error_literal where the text is static. + +Setup Program _Import -> I_mport, the underline is too short now. Add _Help, +call the browser at #set_program. + +Add a note in the documentation that the memory offset, count can't be saved +because of variable address/size changes on recompilation. Add a ^(Scope) +command for inspecting memory. + +Change the "=li_brary" in the che label to "=li_brary-...", add a TL note +that the "=library-..." text must not be translated, but the underline may +be moved anywhere. + +Add a note that "[ ] Show Tooltips" requires restart (does it?..) + +GDB has an option to add the command execution times to MI, alter the parser +to ignore them. + +Convert the thread exit codes to decimal. Options for decimal/hex/as-is? + +Write a Preferences dialog for the global preferences? + +wchar_t / L"text" support? + +Save sort column #-s? + +Check what's new in 7.7 and later. Add --language=C to all commands that +produce variable texts? "--skip-unavailable"? Better support for +catchpoints? + +Use the new plugin startup that allows failure, and check for the glade +file? + +Per-program options to hide views: Program Terminal, Threads, Memory, +Debug Console, Registers. + +Add a ^(Scope) command for (de)activating breakpoint groups and a +on_break_signal() handler: a-h activate, A-H deactivate. Add a single letter +(none, a-h) Group submenu to the breakpoints menu. + +Set breakpoint by clicking on the empty space before of a line, where the +markers are shown. + +Message "<thread X | Program> received signal Y"? + +Try DND-selected-text support for Watches, Inspect? + +Try Watch formats or radix. + +Mark "Delete all breakpoints, watches ..." with bold if the program or +script name was changed. + +Add a second Memory page? (Supporting 2+ regions in a single page seems +confusing and uncomfortable UI.) + +Max display length for MI? Should try some very long lines, to see whether +that makes sense. Failed MI must be fully displayed in all cases. + +Disassembler read-only editor window using the gdb commands only. Auto open +on assembler location hit. That'll take some work. + +Remember 3 lines around the breakpoints and try to apply them as in patch, +in the case that source was modified without the breakpoints loaded. That'll +take work, too.
