Description _ gordonp 2009-04-23 19:51:30 UTC

This primarily refers to the Build subnodes (C Compiler, C++ Compiler, etc). What
happens to the C++ Compiler node if the chosen toolchain doesn't have a C++
compiler? Nothing, its still shown. So that is the 1st part of this issue.

Also, MC's current IDE has a very nice tabbed window for setting compiler options
(more along the lines of what CND has discussed for several years, but never
implemented). They would like to either replace the subnode completely, or (at a
minimum) be able to override the property editor to Additional Options.

MC has implemented their own type of project so this is not as high a priority for them.
I could see it as an advantage to other uses wanting to use cnd projects and be able to remove nodes in the tree. But unless others want this I would not request it to be a high priority for MC anymore.

Great. I will drop priority to p3.

We want to implement properties in xml layer and this will allow much greater control over the properties.
