It also always bothered me to have the Binary above the project. I believe that in bug 285904 [1], when adding the control to build-before-launch, the idea
was to keep the project field and the build before launch fields next to each other, so the project field was moved down. This was in CDI at the time.
DSF-GDB at that time had the project field at the top because it seemed more user-friendly. In bug 285907 [2], we united the CDI and DSF launches somewhat
and for the sake of consistency, we move the project box lower.
I still think the other way around is nicer though.
If we can agree on it, I suggest we move the project box at the top.
Also, to address Elena’s point about project-less debugging, how about we put some text above the project box saying “it can be left empty” or maybe simply
putting “(optional)” would be nice.

but this workflow is not even supported in default cdt ui
I’m not sure what you mean by the above? Project-less debugging should be supported in most cases in DSF (not CDI though).

Subject: Re: [cdt-dev] CMainTab ui
I was brought up few times. I am not sure what is reasoning for the original design. Technically binary can be selected without a project outside of workspace, but this workflow is not even supported in default cdt ui

Regarding usability. When creating a new launcher, we need first select the project and then select the binary, which does not follow the UI organization. What if we change the order of the C/C++ Application and Project fields ?

CAbstractMainTab because all code is there

Are you planning to modify CAbstractMainTab or a particular CMainTab (CDI or DSF)?

I would like to get rid of extra checkbox in CMainTab ui for build config selector
called "Select configuration using 'C/C++ Application'" and move it to Combo instead
This is how it looks now

What I am proposing is this:
So "Auto" in this case is same choice as previous checkbox but it uses less space
and less confusing
It also by discretion of the launch config delegate to interpret this value and pick
configuration based on some other logic (rather then application path only)
Thoughts?
(Note: this button is API unfortunately, so I am planning to keep it but make invisible,
programmatic logic of enabling/disabling it will be supported)
