Please file Radars for these so we can track the issues (and get back to you if needed).

First off, as always, thanks to Apple for working hard on this free tool. Also, my biggest bug has been fixed ... "-fast" finally works while using ppc_intrinsics.h. I am so happy about this :)

A couple of suggestions, after a couple of days of work.

Bugs

1) Doesn't remember the state of ... what are those called? Drag bars? A perfect example is the project window. The way I've found to eliminate the detail view (IMHO I find useless) is to make the window big, drag the bar to the right, then reduce the window as far as it will go (this drags the detail view closed). Close the project, then re-open. The detail pane is back. Same thing for lots of other windows.

Suggestions

1) These additional options/preferences would go a long way to appeasing some complaints
a) global option to turn off all embedded editors (except edit windows, off course) -- remove "drag bars" as necessary
b) global option to remove project "detail", leave just the tree (I've tried so hard to make this happen!)


2) some window widgets
a) widget to clear console on console window (debug menu is a weird place for it)


3) target build changes
a) I always use "All settings" as it is now, it makes more sense (IMHO) then the collections. I say go one step further and make
the build list a tree view, the same roots as it is in the menu in the column headers (that's a weird UI :) ). Basically, you'd have:


                 v General
                    v Build Locations
                           Development build product    xyz
                       ... etc ....

b) a way to do the opposite override from project -> target settings. The way I work is to put everything in the target and ignore the
project settings (including deployment, development.) I'd rather have those as selectable targets. Strange, maybe. I get the
general idea why it's the way it is now, but it would be neat to have a "ignore project settings" flag in the target, then I could just
concern myself with the target setup and ignore everything else. This allows me to have all settings for a project in one place
(yes, this makes more sense for single target projects).


c) way to copy target build settings, from one project to another (not super important, but it could be used)
