CCS does not remember UI settings for compilation and debugger connections

all the time i am re-opening CCS with an existing workspace and then start a connection to a physical target via a debugger or do a compilation run i am getting a flying dialog across the IDE window telling me that i can hide it and even hide it permanently. then i am clicking the permanent check box plus hitting the hide now button.

the performed selection will persist as long as my CCS session is open but it will be lost as soon as i am re-starting CCS. its a value seemingly missing from my personalized CCS workspace environment and thus its nagging me over and over any time a have started these my workspace again. i think this settings are quite good candidates for beeing part of the workspace settings - if they are already part of that then something is not working as it should in that area.

  • Yes this tends to happen, I too have noticed!

  • Hi Alexander,

    can you send a screenshot of the exact window you are referencing?  I will try to reproduce it and investigate whether this is the expected behaviour.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Alexander, 

    There are two issues, both have been filed in our defect tracking system(SDSCM00047834 & SDSCM00047846). Project build "run in background" setting is reset by launch of a debug session, rather than restarting CCS.

  • the items look similar but it might be a bit different:
    "when the CCS is restarted with a workspace that already had the /run in background/ setting for /connect to target/ then that setting gets lost."

  • Hi Alexander, 

    Yes, I think the connect/debug launch "run in background" setting is getting reset always. This one of the issues. The second issue is that debug/connect launch also resets the "Run in background" setting for building. These are two distinct settings. If you don't perform debugging, then "run in background" setting for project build works fine.

  • the always lost setting is probably the one for showing/hiding debugger connection.

    current versions 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 are at least affected.

    can this be made a topic for e.g. CCS 6.0 ?
