annoying dialogs

(1/3) > >>

Balazs:
1.
In the "Project build options" dialog it asks every time I want to delete one item from the "Link libraries" list on the "linker tab": "Are you sure?". This is annoying, as I think if a DEVELOPER clicks on "Delete" he most certainly doesn't do it by accident. Cmon on, we aren't that lame, shish... :roll:
I hope there will be an option the remove these dialog.

2.
This is new behaviour since 1.0rc2, that in the same "Project build options" dialog it asks every time if I modify something, then I switch to another build target item in the tree, whether I want to apply my changes. Again, this is annoying, as most DEVELOPERS if they change something in a dialog, they usually MEAN it seriously, and if they don't want it to happen, they can still simply click Cancel. This dialog wasn't present in earlier versions.

EDIT: There is also a serious issue regarding point 2.: If I change a lot of things in some of the build targets options in the "Project build options" dialog, and I always click on the "Yes" when the dialog pops up (described in point 2.), THEN I click Cancel on the main dialog (the Project build options dialog), my changes WON'T be undone! This is REALLY bad behaviour, as the Cancel button becomes totally meaningless! In my opinion, this should be fixed.

I propose to point 2.: Don't ask anything, but let the user modify whatever he wants, and if he clicks OK, then Apply and Save the changes, otherwise if he clicks Cancel, then don't save the changes.

Ceniza:
You're right, that kind of things are Hell annoying... and believe it or not some people love them and has asked for them... and more.

If it was my choice I would remove them :wink:

Reminds me of those Linux distributions where issuing rm will ask you if you really want to remove a file for every single file you told it to, but in that case there are workarounds and ways to disable that behavior.

The useless Cancel button is a known bug and those dialogs look like a workaround that isn't addressing the real problem (load displacement archetype?).

Anyone else considering Code::Blocks a developer's tool? :)

Game_Ender:
Don't we have a dialog that can handle this?  If the dialog is truly annoying it should be turned into one of those dialogs that you can just check the little box and it will never come up again.  What is the problem with the dialog then?

MortenMacFly:
To all those that were asking for this "Are you sure" dialogs: I told you: Once we implement this others will complain in the opposite. I knew it... :?
Again here is my opinion: A developer should know certain things including how to setup compiler options and how a build process works. And if he knows there is absolutley no need to warn/help whatsoever with the setup. All he needs is just the plain option dialogs. Period.
With regards, Morten.

Not true, I already complained about it before... :)
