Ok, I can probably add this to a menu.

The server reads this on startup and caches all .d and .di files that it finds in the paths in that file. Ok, I see. But a user needs to be able use different compilers for different projects. I'll see if I can use the project specific settings and fall back on dcd.conf. Symbols are filtered by the import statements that are contained in the text that you send to dcd-client, so there shouldn't be a conflict. If you have multiple foo backages each with a bar module, then it'll probably break. So ideally one server per session/project. That won't conflict, right? I can just use different ports? -- /Jacob Carlborg
