Improved breakpoint groups |
Breakpoint groups have been enhanced to support nested groups and prevent the loss of user defined groups when the group settings are changed in the Breakpoints view. Use the Group By cascade menu to quickly change between standard groupings - breakpoint types, files, projects, and custom groups. Custom groups are used to group breakpoints into arbitrary logical sets that can then be enabled/disabled with one click. Use the Advanced... option to configure nested groupings.
