No idea about the first one, but at least that the variables don’t work sounds
like a bug.
The variable chooser is there, but it looks like the value is not expanded
where it is used
(e.g. in GdbEngine::setupEngine(), "const QString path =
stringSetting(ExtraDumperFile);” there should be some kind of
Utils::globalMacroExpander()->expand(…) be involved).
