Description leon pollak 2011-07-06 15:34:24 UTC 
Version:           git master (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

I am in the "debug area", but when I enter it (pressing F9), the bottom tool automatically opened is the "debug" tool. As I am mostly doing remote debugging, that is why the "debug" tool seems to be of no use for me. Contrary, the "gdb" tool is the mostly used one, as all of the communication with the remote target appears in it.
 
So, the question is - if it is possible to "return" (from 3.5.5 version) the option to choose between "debug" and "gdb" to be opened by default (per project).

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
GDB tool is opened by default

AFAICS 3.5 had "Start Debugger With": "Framestack" or "GDB Output".
You mean this option, right?

I would suggest those options:
- Application Output
- GDB Console
- Frame Stack

It should not be hard to add this feature.
Comment 2 leon pollak 2011-12-30 22:20:35 UTC 
Perfect, IMHO.
Exactly what I meant.

Pushed by nsams into branch 'master'.

add debugger option to choose which tool view should be opened on debug start

This option already existed in KDevelop 3.5

Can't be in 4.3 because of new strings and a bugfix I applied to
kdevplatform master only.
FIXED-IN: 4.4
