Per email from Pavel Busek, we've been asked to remove our Advanced Tools panels because NB 6.0 plans to remove this entire UI. After trading email, we agreed I'd remove the simple ones asap (for M10) and we'de schedule the harder ones (mostly per language editing panels) before beta2 (this is the goal, not a commitment). There are 3 panels we can remove fairly easily: Building -> Make Settings Debugging and Executing -> Shell Execution Settings Editing ->C, C++, and Fortran Sources Here are the properties on these 3 panels and my current plans on dealing with them: Make Settings: Default Build Directory "." <don't need default> Default Make Command "make" <don't need default> Reuse Output Tab [] <not used> Save All [x] <use MakeOptions save property> Shell Execution Settings Default Shell /bin/sh <use suffix or mime type> Save All [x] <use MakeOptions save property> C, C++, and Fortran Sources Free Format Fortran [x] <move somewhere...> Automatic Parsing Delay 2000 <move to CA options panel?> Strings Table USER=gordonp <not used> The langauge dependent panels are under Editing -> Editor Settings: C Editor C++ Editor Fortran Editor Makefile Editor Shell Editor These are the ones we'll try and remove by beta2. Each one will require some UI and development which is why these won't be started until after grgich_hills.
The 3 panels listed above have been removed (just from the UI). The properties still exist and can be set/read via CppSettings. This is similar to how NetBeans/Java has handled properties in JavaSettings.
