[Eric] Eric4 questions

["ΑΝΤΩΝΗΣ ΜΠΟΥΝΤΟΥΒΑΣ"]

Thanks for the help!

In project viewer, what one can accomplish with the "Others" tab ?
I mean, what is the exact usage of it, what info may we keep there ?

Ah, and what about keeping the Project Directory and not keep asking every time for a new project ?
Is a switch available for that ?

Thanks again!

It's stored (on Linux) in the file ".config/Eric4/eric4.conf" in the users home directory. On win32 the stuff is stored in the registry.

That is displayed when a debugging session ends. When you do a run action, that dialog doesn't show.

Just installing the snapshot should be enough. However, be aware, that installation of a new binary installer will overwrite it.

Not automatically, you have to enable the Shell window via the menu or give the toggle shell window action a reasonable keyboard shortcut.
