Yes, but I did not write to ask for problem solution. You took me wrong completely. I was talking about software quality and usability. The barrier of installing QtCreator is very low - few mouse clicks and you're ready to run. And most things work out of the box without having to take a look at helpfiles or google for it. I very appreciate Q The impact of no debugging output is so big, that I thought, there might be lots of people that tried QtCreator, that just removed it caused of that. So I'd just wanted to give you some food for thought. > > Why not pop a messagebox, with a (localized - is QtCreator localized?) > > message, telling that the gdb is not supported. > > Look, that snide "question" in parentheses alone makes me wonder whether > I should try to continue that conversation at all, but you do know what a joke is? Admittedly I wasn't good enuf to point that out. regards Gero _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
