12 <h1>Multi-Configuration Edit preferences</h1> |
|
13 |
|
14 <p>Since CDT 5.0, user is able to edit properties for |
|
15 multiple project configurations simultaneously.</p> |
|
16 <p>Either all configuations or some of them can be selected.</p> |
|
17 <p>But, then we deal with string list property values, |
|
18 it is not obvious how to concatenate them, if they differ.</p> |

|
23 <dt>String list Display Mode</dt> |
|
24 <dd>Specifies how values will be shown.<br> |
|
25 There are 2 options: conjunction or disjunction. |
|
26 <ul> |
|
27 <li><b>Conjunction</b> shows common elements only, so if 1st configuration has |
|
28 value <A, B, C> and 2nd configuration has <B, C, D>, <B, C> will be shown. |
|
29 <li><b>Disjunction</b> shows all existing elements except doubles, so if 1st configuration has |
|
30 value <A, B, C> and 2nd configuration has <B, C, D>, <A, B, C, D> will be shown. |
|
31 </ul> |
|
32 Note that Display mode can be changed directly on each tab which deals with string lists. |
|
33 Result is immediate: data on the tab refereshed according to selected mode.<br> |
|
34 </dd> |
|
35 <dt>String list Write Mode</dt> |
|
36 <dd>Specifies how values will be saved.<br> |
|
37 There are 2 options: modify or replace. |
|
38 <ul> |
|
39 <li><b>Modify mode</b> adds, changes or removes elements affected by user's actions. |
|
40 Elements which were not touched by user are left unchanged.<br> |
|
41 Example: cfg1 has <A, B, C>; cfg2 has <B, C, D>.<br> |
|
42 User removed B and added F.<br> |
|
43 Result: cfg1 has <A, C, F>; cfg2 has <C, D, F>. |
|
44 <li><b>Replace mode</b> puts currently visible elements to all configurations. |
|
45 Old contents will be lost.<br> |
|
46 Example: cfg1 has <A, B, C>; cfg2 has <B, C, D>.<br> |
|
47 Visible list depends of Display mode: <B, C> or <A, B, C, D>.<br> |
|
48 User removed B and added F.<br> |
|
49 Result: both cfgs will contain either <C, F> or <A, C, D, F> depending of Display mode. |
|
50 </ul> |
|
51 Note that Write mode can be changed directly on each tab which deals with string lists.<br> |
|
52 </dd> |
|
53 <dt>Restore Defaults</dt> |
|
54 <dd>Sets all parameters to default values</dd> |
