			<description><![CDATA[<p>Sorting the filenames within the debugger drop-down is certainly possible.&nbsp; I&#039;ll look into the enhancement.</p><p>As for debugging tasks within the Simply Fortran IDE itself, those ideas are certainly on the table for version 2.0.&nbsp; There are some obvious issues with integrating the debugger within the IDE related to the number of features that would require implementation.&nbsp; The issue, of course, is that Insight is already a feature-rich debugger as is.&nbsp; The main detriment is the lack of direct integration with the IDE.&nbsp; However, debugging features within the IDE have always been considered for future versions.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I suspect that what I&#039;ll now suggest can&#039;t be done in Simply Fortran because the relevant program code is inside the debugger and the editor rather than Simply Fortran, but, just in case either should be feasible, here&#039;s what I have in mind:</p><p>Alpha-sort debugger source file list ?<br />------------------------------------------<br />The drop-down menu displaying all the source files, which one uses in the debugger to select a source file and set a breakpoint, is unsorted.<br />If it were possible to display it in alphabetic order, that would be a great time-saver.</p><p>Set breakpoint and launch debugger from editor ?<br />---------------------------------------------------------<br />Is there any possibility that, from the editor, one could set breakpoints in a file that the debugger could recognise, and launch the debugger from the editor?<br />My idea is that, when one is struggling to improve the source code of one file in a project, it would be good if, from the editor, one could set a breakpoint directly above the code just altered, then launch the debugger in a single action.&nbsp; That action would need to<br /> - save the file currently being edited,<br /> - check for any other filesaves that might be needed and prompt users to do so,<br /> - check whether the project needs saving and prompt users to do so,<br /> - compile, link and load,<br /> - launch the debugger,<br /> - read the breakpoint(s) set in the editor,<br /> - execute the code in the debugger.</p><p>This would be a terrific speed-up tool because one could tinker with some code in one source file then just have the debugger try it without any intermeiate steps.</p><p>In all seriousness, I don&#039;t see these ideas as being either likely to be feasible or of any great importance, but maybe they&#039;ll give Jeff some better ideas for continuing improvement.<br />----<br />John</p>]]></description>
