Anyone know if you still can do distributed builds, but only with LLVM, not GCC? On Mar 2, 2012, at 1:48 PM, Brian Lambert wrote: Hey,
How about thread where we talk about the opportunities Apple has to improve Xcode 4. A positive thread to close out the coding week.
I'm relatively new to Xcode, but, here are some of the opportunities I see:
- Bring back Distributed Builds, which disappeared in 4.3 without so much as a word in the "What's New". I want to be able to work on my Air and use the full power of the 27" iMac 3.4 GHz 16 GB RAM 240GB LaCie Little Big Disk SSD Death Star Mac in my office.
- Build a bug reporting and feature request capability right into Xcode. We're developers and we live in Xcode. Let us enter bug reports and feature requests right in the tool itself.
- Detach and float any tab or panel. I have a 3 monitor set-up. Let me float any tab or panel I want.
- IB zoom past 100%. Let me design my UI zoomed into 200%. I'm well over 40, and my eyes are not what they used to be.
- Let me increase the font size in the Project Navigator, Issue Navigator, etc. Again, well over 40...
- Display the current line number somewhere like most programmer's editors do. Sometimes I like to turn line numbers off.
- Let me turn off GIT.
- Add a feature (Visual Studio has this) to "track the active file" in the Project Navigator. Project Navigator / open file represents a master / detail view, and when the wrong file is highlighted in Project Navigator, it "tells me" the wrong information. I've made mistakes because of this. This is the first feature I turn on in Visual Studio. It's most useful for maintaining context.
- Let me split a source file window horizontally so I can work on two pieces of the file at the same time (and keep them scrolling independently).
- Fix bugs before adding new features. :-)
Best!
Brian
