Description Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-12-07 15:41:39 EST 
Build 3.0M5

Quickfix could offer to configure the corresponding option when assisting for 
an optional problem. We get PRs about people looking for the proper option in 
the preference page sometimes, and some may not even now these are configurable.
Comment 1 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-12-08 04:41:25 EST 
can you give an example?
Is it like 'Disable NLS-String warnings'?
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-12-08 05:25:35 EST 
See bug 48205 for instance. In a general manner, all optional problems could 
offer such a quickfix, which means that when adding new problems, users would 
easily be able to disable them.
Comment 3 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2003-12-08 09:26:34 EST 
Indeed, disabling the optional check is a quick fix as well. We have to come 
up with a nice UI if we do so. If the project doesn't have it's own compiler 
settings than disabling the option "globally" might not be the expected 
behaviour. We have to keep this in mind when providing such a quick fix.
Comment 4 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2006-06-12 06:24:43 EDT 
The alternative could be that the problem hover contains a link that opens the option in the preference page
