RE: [cdt-core-dev] Current Project Feature
|
One of our folks at TI, Dobrin Alexiev, is working on exactly such a
feature as we speak. Right now it just uses a simple text decorator to
display "[Active]" next to the active project.
If other people think this would be of use we certainly wouldn't mind
contributing it. So far however, we are working on the assumption that
no one wanted the current launch configuration paradigm disturbed.
