Keep debugger window open after killing it
Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 10:08 pm
The following mostly affects users like me that have multiple screens, or very large screens.
If you open a number of debugger windows (for example the variable viewer, the profiler, the debug output, and the watchlist) and your program hits an error, the aforementioned windows are closed if you enabled the option
If you disable this option, you always have to manually kill the debugger (using the skull icon) which is one more click which slows down development (a little, I admit 
) but it's just not only closing those windows, it's also losing the information in them.
It would be nice if the windows are kept open after an error, that way one can immediately edit the code, without hitting the skill icon, killing the debugger manually, and loosing all information in those debug windows.
I hope that makes sense
This would then be a suboption:

Code: Select all
File / Preferences / Debugger / Kill after an error
