Always run in background doesn't persist this setting.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi there.

Is there another way to force CCS to run in background than to go to Window->Preferences->General and select "Always run in background" if I don't want to set this everytime I restart CCS and start building?

BR, Carsten

  • Hi Carsten,

    You only need to set it once per workspace, every restart of CCS will have this setting saved in your workspace preference.
    Also, when there is a progress dialog pops up, there is a checkbox option within the progress dialog. Checking this option will put the dialog and future dialog in the background. 

    Are you looking for a way to have this option set to enable or disable by default for new workspace?

  • Sorry.. send too fast. What version of CCS are you using? I was able to have this option persisted after I shutdown CCS and restart?

  • Hi Patrick.

    I'm running CCS  Version: 5.4.0.00091.

    It might be caused due to the fact that we're running GIT on our project. Can you tell me where the workspace prefs are saved?

  • Hi Carsten,

    The workspace preferences are stored in the workspace under ".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs" file.

    There is a bug filed against this issue already, SDSCM00047846. 

    If you want to default this setting for every new workspace, you can try adding the following line to the ccsv5\eclipse\plugins\com.ti.ccstudio.branding_xyz\plugin_customization.ini file. I haven't try it myself, so I am not sure if this workaround will work or not.

    org.eclipse.ui.workbench/RUN_IN_BACKGROUND=true
