Re: [cdt-debug-dev] Modal error dialog boxes during debugging
|
How about some less obnoxious way to communicate to the user that there
is a terrible condition logged, instead of stealing focus via a modal
dialog box?
If no action is required from the user, we can show the error messages in
the status bar.

Subject: [cdt-debug-dev] Modal error dialog boxes during debugging
We are using different ways to indicate errors. Except modal dialog,
we
display messages in the views and element labels.
But in some serious situations displaying the dialog is the best way
to
notify the user.
There is no way to tell CDT never to show a particular type of error
dialog again(e.g. don't show this dialog box again).
E.g. loosing the connection may be a legitimate case of using a dialog
box for some debug targets, but for many embedded, flaky, debug
connections, this requester is a royal pain.
I'll find a suitable victim and submit a patch for comments. :-)
For you to check the log file and understand the problem is easy
because you
know the internals, but the average user is not interested to do it.
Anyway, I agree that the number of the situations when we have to
display
the dialog should be reduced to minimum. It would be a big help if you
can
point to the places when it happens.
