User Interface
Main Window
the configuration is saved. By disabling this checkbox, changes done to the
option and message settings are not saved, the previous settings remain valid.
Editor Configuration: This item is relate d to the editor settings. If this checkbox is
set, the current editor settings are stored in the project file when the configuration
is saved. By disabling this checkbox, the previous settings remain valid.
Appearance: This item is related to many parts like the window position (only
loaded at startup time) and the command line content and history. If this
checkbox is set, these settings are stored in the project file when the current
configuration is saved. By disabling this checkbox, the previous settings remain
valid.
NOTE By disabling selective options, only some parts of a configuration file
can be written. For example when the suitable editor has been
configured, the save Editor mark can be removed. Then future save
commands will not modify the options any more.
Save on Exit: If this option is set, the li nker writes the configuration on exit. No
question will appear to confirm this operation. If this option is not set, the linker
does not write the configuration at exit, even if options or another part of the
configuration has changed. No confirmation will appear in any case when closing
the linker.
NOTE Almost all settings are stored in the project configuration file only.
The only exceptions are:
- The recently used configuration list.
- All settings in this dialog.
NOTE The configurations of the linker can, and in fact are intended to,
coexist in the same file as the project configuration of the shell.
When the shell configures an editor, the linker can read this content
out of the project file, if present. The project configuration file of the
shell is named project.ini. This file name is therefore also suggested
(but not mandatory) to the linker
