Description Pascal Rapicault

2011-02-04 10:57:01 EST

When I open a workspace and the target platform that use to contain something is gone, I should get a big red X across my screen :) or at least a very clear error in the problems view or maybe in the manifest editor since there are errors about missing dependencies. The point is that it needs to be very clear immediately what is going on.
Right now, what I get is a sea of compile errors and it is really  hard to figure out the root cause.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
