Version: CVS (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources I need my run options set to "Run from where the executable is" but my executable is located outside the project tree. It would be nice the the browse box worked for this. But since the browse box doesn't work I type the path in manually, like: ../../../../../progs/miniglx/sample_server This works, but the path is not displayed in Main Program edit field. The path is set and the debugger works, but the edit field is cleared as soon as I type in the path name. I'd like to be able to see the path/file name.
I like to double on this: When using ".." somewhere in the pathname the field is empty again as soon as one opens the project options again. A relative path without ".." survives closing and opening the project options dialog. My executable (a script) is inside the project tree but two levels above the build directory. I am using KDevelop 3.3 from Debian sid.
Crossref bug #118180
I'm changing my mind on this one.. 'Run from the BUILD directory' and 'Run from the directory where the executable is' were designed to be relative paths, inside the project directory tree. 'Custom directory' was designed to be an absolute path. Requests for extensions to this behaviour are wishes, not bugs.
We changed this in 3.4.0 completely and I think this wish is fulfilled
