I am finding that the description column in the ToDo list is too wide such that it is forcing use of the scrollbar to view the other columns to its right.

I have also noticed that -Xg is not set as a default project build option and was wondering if it should be, so that new users don't get horrified when they see the size of the executable.  Also, all the examples still don't use this option.  And it is not yet mentioned in section 3.5 of the Free Pascal User's Guide.

I have installed RC2 on XP SP2

Default project settings seem unchanged since years ago. Is there any feature request on this anyway? All the examples are created using the default project settings and ain't gonna change unless somebody asks a feature request for it (and/or willing to send a patch, I don't think it's critical and the developers are unlikely willing to implement it even if it's accepted. big chance the priority would be set post 1.2 version).

Having projects set up with a Default (or Production) and a Debug option (with debugging enabled, line numbers, less optimalization) would be a very sensible solution for me.

I don't care that much which one of those options then is set to default.

Don't know of any bug report; agreed with Leledumbo that sending in a patch for this would be the fastest way of getting things done but unlikely to be backported to earlier releases than current Lazarus trunk.

I request for this feature in the BugTracker a while back and the developers added the option to create several build modes for projects. This was done as far back as 0.9. It is not a default feature but it can be done. For instance, on my installation, I have Debug & Release build modes for various OS (Win32, Win64 & Linux). And it works!

Hi JD!

Thanks for the link!  I just learned about build modes.  Using similar settings my little sandbox project compiled to about 35 MB in Debug Mode and only 3.8 MB in release mode.  Wow!

Thanks for requesting the build modes and then showing me (us?) how to se them.
