Description Manuel Nickschas 2009-02-04 14:24:29 UTC 
Version:           3.9.91 (using 4.2.61 (KDE 4.2.61 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090127)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-gentoo-r2

Trying to change some settings in Project Configuration -> Run, but the Apply button never gets enabled. Hence, I can't save the changed settings.

Probably the settings page fails notifying changes to the dialog.

Had a quick look at the problem and I think the base problem is that the run settings as is simply are not meant to be written as kcm using kconfig_compiler. They try to provide their own kcfg-code, but somehow its not hooked up to the gui properly.

As there's a complete redesign planned anyway, I'll leave this one open for that, but there's no good way to fix the current dialog to behave properly without introducing ton's of connect() calls for all the widgets (which I consider wasted time given that this will be redone anyway)

changing the title to match the actual plan for run settings:

- possibility to have global runs, per-project runs
- ability to re-use runs for debugging
- ability for plugins to provide new run types including custom config pages

this has landed in trunk now.
