I'm using Xcode 2.0 and do C/C++ development most of the time. The
following are a few feature suggestions that I think would benefit
many people; please forgive me if some of these are already in Xcode
2.1.
1. Make the "all-in-one" mode strictly all-in-one. For example, when
I select the "View | Switch to Header/Source File" menu or press
Shift-Cmd-UpArrow, open the counterpart file in the same window - do
not open another window.
2. For Aggregate projects, allow access to the contained projects'
contents from the Aggregate project's window. Basically what I'd like
to be able to do is create an Aggregate project that contains all of
my sub-projects. With Xcode in "All-in-One" mode, it should never
require me to open another "top-level" project window to access the
source files in a sub-project or edit the settings for a sub-project.
3. Add data formatters for the debugger to display info for all of
the C++ Standard Library types (e.g., std::string, list, vector, etc.)
4. Provide a way to store executable arguments and environment
variables settings (from the Executable Info editor) in the user
perspective file instead of or in addition to in the project file.
Perhaps another column in the editor that specifies where each is/
should be stored. This is very important, since arguments and
environment variables can be very user and host dependent. When a
single project is shared by multiple users or on different host
systems, settings for one user/environment may not be at all
appropriate for another.
5. Currently, when editing a project that has SCM enabled, but the
SCM system is unavailable (e.g., no network connection to SCM
server), Xcode prompts if SCM should be disabled or left enabled. If
the user elects to disable SCM for the project, that should be a
transient setting, perhaps only while the project is open. This way,
if/when the connection to the SCM server is restored, the user won't
have to manually re-enable SCM for each project.
6. Re-read the environment settings in ~/.MacOS/environment.plist
when Xcode is started. I realize this is probably more of an OS X
feature request, but having to logout/login just to change an
environment variable is, to say the least, very inconvenient.
Thanks.
Michael
