To my way of thinking scripts are for performing actions that need
to be customized to your project, not to implement generic features
a lot of people could use. For the latter it's much less work for
one engineer at Apple to implement -- in this case -- a fairly
simple command than to have hundreds or thousands of Xcode users
writing scripts that all do the exact same thing. To the extent
scripts allow us to automate a customized sequence of actions
they're a real asset. To the extent they're used to justify not
implementing useful features they are a liability.
Personally, I'd rather Xcode be faster than have a single new feature.
I shouldn't get beach balls while editing text. This is 2007. People
have been editing text for a damn long time now. This should be a
solved problem. (And it is. There are a plethora of text editors with
syntax highlighting that are far faster.) In the time I'd save from
this alone, I'd be more than happy to fly to your place and delete
your break points for you...almost.
It just doesn't seem like an operation that would happen often
enough to spend time on it though.
It is for some people, especially if they're used to having the
command in CodeWarrior. In my experience it's easy to leave
breakpoints in my code when I'm debugging. Stop at a breakpoint,
step for a while, add another breakpoint without removing the first,
and so on. Eventually I track down the problem, but I have a bunch
of breakpoints scattered around in my code I want to remove with a
single command. Apparently I'm not the only one as evidenced by the
existence of this thread. ;-)
I suppose. I think I've opened the breakpoints window fewer than 10
times and probably only once intentionally. Clearly, you work
differently than I do in Xcode. I guess when I move on, the next time
I'm editing the file, I'll remove the breakpoint, or I'll remove it
when it triggers in the next debug session.
