C:B clean install under Windows; delete old config file
« on: January 13, 2014, 03:29:10 pm »
I uninstalled C:B 12.11 and now I install new 13.12release, but C:B after uninstalled somewhere store my settings because  in new release appear exactly the 2 toolbar used by me (at 12.11 first install appeared all toolbars).
I search for config file like >> config under ~/.codeblocks usually named default.conf.

but under Windows there is no such  ???

Under global compiler setting in debugger line I have an arrow instead of ". . ."

Somewhere in your user profile.
On windows 7, it is something like C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks

Windows 11 64 bits (23H2), svn C::B (last version or almost!), wxWidgets 3.2.4 (tests with 3.3), Msys2 Compilers 13.2.0, 64 bits (seh, posix : gcc, g++ and gfortran in C:\msys64\mingw64) or 32 bits (dwarf2, posix  in C:\msys64\mingw32).

What's wrong with that ? It's like that it is programmed !
Debugger has it's own menu configuration.
Here, it's just a reminder, so no need for a ... An arrow is OK.

In Debugger configuration menu I've default E:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MINGW\bin\gdb.exe
so I want to see gdb.exe instead of arrow, like this:

I'm not a C::B developer, but I don't agree with you.
As I told previously, here I think it's just a reminder, eventually used to show when something is wrong, not a box to configure gdb which has it's own menu.
If there was two configure boxes (one here and one in the debugger menu), it will be necessary to synchronize them, certainly possible, but more complicated.

herosz:
This arrow means that the control is a combobox now.
And now the control points to a debugger configuration name. The settings for the debugger are stored in Settings -> Debugger.
The button won't come back, because now it is possible to use multiple debugger plugins and this option just sets the default configuration to be used for this compiler, when Debug->Active configuration is set to "Target's default".
(most of the time I ignore long posts)
[strangers don't send me private messages, I'll ignore them; post a topic in the forum, but first read the rules!]

Thank's your explanation, but I don't understand from where appear the ---Invalid Debugger-- option.
I've had some problems under C::B 12.11 but I delete the configuration file from Application Data before reinstall the new release.

In Debugger option I leave all at default:


How can delete ---Invalid Debugger-- option ? from http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/23/7bz5.jpg

There is no 'invalid debugger' configuration. You see 'invalid debugger' only when NO valid debugger configuration is chosen. The point is when you configure a compiler, you have to choose a debugger configuration for that compiler separately so it is there if you don't choose any. Why do you want to change something like this though?
