Description Wolfgang Bangerth 2011-05-03 04:44:18 UTC

Version:           4.2.1 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I go to "Run > Configure Launches" I can add or delete launches, but I can't assign a "name" to a launch -- they are all called "New Native Application". When I later go to "Run > Current Launch Configuration", I get to see several items of the kind
  projectname : New Native Application Configuration
If I have several different launches for the same project (differing, for example, in the input files given on the command line), then they all show up with equal names in this list and no way to tell which is which.

What is missing is a place in the dialog box of the launch configuration in which I can assign a "name" to a launch configuration.

 W.

Reproducible: Always

I realize now that what I said isn't actually true: One can double click on the launch name in the tree view and thereby edit it. But that really isn't obvious: I think most everyone will consider the tree view to just be a navigation aid for the information displayed on the right half of the window.

yeah this could be made simpler

This was reworked during the sprint, I hope it's better now.
