Description Dani Megert CLA 2004-01-14 07:03:55 EST 
I20030113

I first thought there's a severe bug in Debug: after importing the latest build
and clicking on the Run (and later Debug) buttons in the toolbar nothing
happened, no UI feedback and the Debug view was empty.

I then remembered that I recently chose to always wait until a build is finished
(Debug preference). Going to the Process view I saw tons of Launch jobs waiting.

There needs to be better feedback. I suggest to show those launches in the Debug
view.

Consider showing launches in progress in the debug view.
Comment 2 Jared Burns CLA 2004-01-19 13:18:13 EST 
Fixed in DebugUIPlugin by adding a dummy launch during the join. Please verify, 
DarinW.
Comment 3 Darin Wright CLA 2004-01-19 17:36:26 EST 
This is a good start. I'd like to get the label improved, or warn the user 
when they attempt re-launch a config that is already waiting for a build.
Comment 4 Jared Burns CLA 2004-01-19 17:58:31 EST 
The launch shows up in the debug view immediately, so I don't think we need to warn (harass?) 
the user any further in this case. I'll look into the label, but I'm not very optimistic given the way the 
framework works.
Comment 5 Dani Megert CLA 2004-01-20 02:40:40 EST 
I agree with Jared that a warning dialog would be a pain and I agree with Darin
that there has to be some indication in the Debug view (icon and label).
Comment 6 Jared Burns CLA 2004-01-20 16:35:55 EST 
Fixed in DebugUIPlugin. I now copy the config in memory to create a working copy with a name 
that includes "(waiting for build to finish...)" and use that config in the placeholder Launch. Please 
verify, DarinW.

Verified.
