Build Identifier: 20110916-0149 I usually debug using the "Attach to Process". I've filled the "C/C++ Application" (binary name) in the setting, but each time I start this, I have to select the executable which I would like to be attached to. In my situation, there is only one of this instance. So I would like to propose this new feature => Add a checkbox 'automatically attach to this executable it only one is running' Reproducible: Always
I'm hesitant to add a new UI option. We have too many already. And then we could want a similar option that says "Auto attach to all processes matching this executable", since we can do that with multi-process debug. How about if we automatically select the first process that matches the binary in the attach dialog and you simply have to press on the OK button?

I think in the debug configuration you should be able to specify to auto-attach when there is only one proccess running from the given executable file.
I like the proposed feature. What about implementing the proposal from comment 1 first (still open the dialog but with the right process preselected). If that is implemented, it can be tested and the request for no longer showing the dialog is a separate item. Note that this request is somehow the opposite of bug 400033 : Here we know the exe and want to auto-compute the PID. In bug 400033, user selects the PID and we want to auto-compute the exe.
