Description tomzi 2007-08-27 11:04:51 UTC 
Please move the checkbox in Window/Debugger/Sources and Window/Debugger/Breakpoints from the extra column to the front
of each item. So instead of

|        Source Root/Filter        | Use for debugging |
 +-[Icon] E:\devlop\.....           [checkbox] 
 +-[Icon] E:\devlop\.....           [checkbox] 

put the checkbox in the front

|        Source Root/Filter        |

 +-[checkbox][Icon] E:\develop\....
 +-[checkbox][Icon] E:\develop\....

This would unify nb look, since in Refactoring view this is used also and IMHO this is a lot more useful.
It is really a waste of space to use an extra column there, it usually resizes to the length of the title.
Comment 1 tomzi 2007-08-27 11:08:12 UTC 
And also in both views maybe you could consider to gray those items slightly out that are not selected.
Comment 2 Roman Ondruska 2007-08-27 13:41:31 UTC 
I like the proposal; we plan to redesign the debugger UI for next release.
