Description Libor Kotouc 2004-11-23 15:56:25 UTC 
Missing possibility to add external folder into
set of source folders and libraries where debugger
looks for source files.
I would expect this feature in Debugging>Sources
window.
Yes, there is possibility to create new project
with the same source folder(s) as folder(s) which
you want to add, but this is not intuitive and
this is not what you really want to do.

Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2005-11-08 16:05:04 UTC 
See also issue #61777 - the sources needs to be accessible before the debugger
session starts.

I think this is a defect, not an enhancement.

I was trying to debug something and tried 2 approaches in addition to not
finding the possibility in this sources window:
1) opening the source in favorites, then checking it to be included in this window
2) adding a dir to the sources/debugging in the platform manager

Finally a coworker told me I had to create a project from existing sources to do
this. I was stuck otherwise.
