option to close the compiler window by default.

If there is an option for it; I've missed it.
The problem (if you can call it that) is that the compiler is sometimes too fast, I don't have enough time to check off "Close if no errors"

So the request is:
Keep the checkbox visible always, or allow it to be set thru preferences.

I think, he will some of the global debugger preferences adding to compiler-options, per file.

When I compile a small program the compiler shows a dialog window - in the lower left corner is a checkbox "Close if successful" (or words to that effect)

Since it compiles faster than I can move the mouse to thecheck box, I always have to close the window -- I'd like it so that checkbox always remains visible, so even when compilation is complete, I can check it OR have a global IDE preference "Close compiler window if successful"

While compilation is in progress, there is a checkbox in the lower left...
As near as I can tell; that's the only way to set that option...

Actually, having it always visible only solves half the problem: Then you can easily check the box, but you cannot unckeck it again because the window will close before you can hit it next time ;)

The box was actually designed with larger projects in mind where this would not be an issue. The PB compiler is simply to fast!

I will look for a better place to put the setting in the next version. In the meantime, you can edit your project file with a text editor (while it is closed) and put the following into the "config" section:

Code: Select all

<buildwindow autoclose="1"/>
