Description Vladimir Kvashin 2013-12-05 11:40:53 UTC 
Debug core file has several usability issues:

1) it does not remember the last selected debugger (in my case both dbx and gdb present, I need gdb, default is dbx, so each time I need to change it)

2) Core File field does not have history; so if I need to repeat core file debugging, I have to find my core file again.

3) When I select a project, I would expect that it will fill "executable" field - at least if it is empty.

These 3 issues together make me feel very uncomfortable with this dialog
Comment 1 Vladimir Kvashin 2013-12-05 12:01:10 UTC 
I've just noticed that if I choose executable, project field is filled automatically, so dialogue knows these fields relationship. It only needs to apply this knowledge when user selects a project.
