Description _ gordonp 2007-06-19 21:47:01 UTC
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.
