I'd rather have those options appear when the target platform combobox
changes

I would prefer Howard's idea - having all options visible means you can
set them for any other platform in one go...

But it's all subjective.

... and as far as we're talking about this, having some tooltips/hints
that explain a bit more what the settings do would be nice...

[Lazarus] Project Options dialog

2013-02-02 Thread Howard Page-Clark

This is a suggestion for improving the Project Options UI.

The Application (settings) page now sports several platform-specific 
options.
I think it would be better to group these by platform, and have the list 
of settings identified by platform. Something like:


Cross-platform settings
---
Title: ...
Icon: ...

Darwin application settings
---
[ ] Use Application Bundle for running and debugging
 [Create Application Bundle (button)]

Windows application settings

[ ] Use an external manifest to enable themes (XP and above)
[ ] Enable DPI awareness (Vista and above)
[ ] Enable UI access via manifest (uiAccess=True)
Execution level [dropdown combo]

It would also help if some knowledgeable developer could add a few 
sentences in the wiki to document the newer platform-specific options. I 
know just enough to be dangerous if I wrote about them.
