question about the conf file

(1/2) > >>

killerbot:
I have some question about the conf file.

It seems that the conf file is saving several thing, just to name some :
 - compiler sets
 - editor settings
 - layout settings

When you change something, CB asks you at program closure, if you want to save the changes. You can 'don't annoy me again' on this message box.

The question is, if you choose not to be annoyed anymore, does that mean all changes are automatically saved ? Or does it mean all changes are discarded every time.

In the dicarding case, I would say for layout that might be fine, in this sesion I docked the call stack, but hey next time I don't care if it's not showing. But when I change for example some compiler settings,  I probably want those to persist. Idea, seperate 'configuration of environment,editor, compiler, global variables' from layout ??


Thanks,
Lieven

If you select "don't annoy me any more" then you get whatever happens to be the default button in that message box each time it would normally show the dialog.

killerbot:
Then it's always yes, since you can't change the default button, .. oh you can by tab selecting (not with the mouse),

thanks for the info

No, no... it is always "yes". The default button is determined by the program, you can't change that with the tab key ;)

IMHO, it would make much more sense to detect the user's choice and save that as the action to be performed in the future instead of displaying the dialog.  I always assumed that was what it was doing, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was how many people interpret "Don't annoy me again."
