global radix setting in PE IDE 6.2.1 debugger

Is there a way to set the radix globally for variables’ display.
Sometimes it’s more useful to view stuff in hex most of the time,
and it’s pain having to set it every time.

ping?

I guess this means no?
Could this possibly make it’s way into a next release?

A gdb trick is

(gdb) set output 16

I don’t know if that would work in the IDE…

Nope, nowhere to stick this into the IDE that I could find.
This is just such a basic feature, only a desktop application IDE
could be excused for not having it…
Hope this finds its way into a next version.

Will this feature get into 6.3?

Yes. There is now a debugger control pane which allows you
to set the default variable format (currently Natural,
Decimal, Hexidecimal).

Thanks for the comments, we (the tools development team)
appreciate the feedback especially when it comes to what
might be perceived as “obvious details”.

Thanks,

Purely selfish motives here, I want it to be the best IDE around…
