Description Vojtech Sigler 2009-10-02 11:35:30 UTC
Not sure if this is a defect or enhancement, but at the moment I was unable to find a way to switch between debugging
sessions of various debuggers.

1) Debug a java
2) Debug a CND project
3) Debug a ruby project
...

n) now it is not possible to switch to a debugging session of choice, only the last started is accessible. It is
possible to switch between two java debugging sessions in the debugging view, but there's nothing like this to switch
sessions in general.


Proposal 1: extend the combobox in debugging view to show all sessions (but this would not be good with debuggers that
do not use the debugging view)

Proposal 2: create a simple switcher control such as the popup switcher when switching open documents
Comment 1 Vojtech Sigler 2009-10-02 11:37:23 UTC
My apologies, there is of course the Sessions view, but it would be nice to have something more easily accessible (like
a popup switcher on a shortcut) :)
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2009-10-02 11:50:10 UTC
Actually the "Proposal 1" is planned for this. But that requires that other debuggers will integrate into Debugging
window. This was also planned, but not realized yet. So this is why we still keep the Sessions view.
