The "build" tool view in current form
SUMMARY
I suggest to improve visual indication of the fact that warnings/errors
occurred while building a project. Colouring warning/error lines in the "Build"
tool view is insufficient.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
When building a project, we can observe compiler output in the "Build" tool
view. Warning/error lines are coloured yellow/red and we can jump from one to
another using the arrow buttons located on the toolbar of the tool view.
However, it can be easy to miss the fact that any warnings/errors actually
occurred, especially warnings when compilation process is long and outputs many
lines. I suggest to add some visual indication of the fact that warnings/errors
occurred and perhaps indication of their count.
IMPLEMENTATION IDEAS
* grey out (disable) the first/prev/next/last arrow buttons if there are no
warnings/errors
* show somewhere an icon and/or a label indicating warnings/errors existence
and perhaps their count:
- on the button that toggles the "Build" tool view (the advantage is that it
would be visible even if we switch to other tool view)
- on the toolbar of the "Build" tool view
* add to the toolbar of the "Build" tool view new buttons for quick filtering
by warnings/errors, their appearance would indicate warnings/errors existence
i.e. greyed out or not
