Auto Synchronize?

It appears that something has changed in my compile/link
process.
 
In the past I only had to click on either the 'Make' or 'Debug' button, and
the errors/warnings screen would pop up.
 
Now it seems that I need to click on the 'Synchronize Modification dates'
button followed by the Make button.  If I don't, I get some errors when I
get into the debugger.
 
What did I do?!

Thanks,
 
Tim

Hello
 
Did you configure an external Debugger in the "IDE Extras" IDE preference panel?
 
Select "Edit" -> "Preferences" and look at the IDE Extras panel.
 
Is a Third Party Editor configured here?

Hi Crasy,
 
I checked, and the 'Use Third Party Edito' box isn't highlighted.
 
I figure something got accidently changed.  It's not
a show stopper, but it takes several clicks to do what
only took one before.
 
Thanks!

What kind of errors do you get in the debugger?

There is a "cache modification date" checkbox per build target, which could explain why the ide does not detect externally modified files. Are you editing the source files externally, and the ide does not detect that they did change?
And there is a global setting for building before launching, maybe you changed that one.
(I don't have a CW installation on this particular PC, so all names just out of memory :smileyhappy:.

Hi Daniel,
 
The sources are not modified externally, but from within CW.
 
Do you know where I might find that global setting?

The sequence I have to do now is to do a 'make', then synchronize,
then make again.
 
Sounds like I messed something up!
 
Thanks,

Edit->Preferences->Build Settings.

You could also try to delete with the explorer the {Projectname}_Data folder,
that only contains internal thing which are recreated. Among others the file modification dates, so that maybe inconsistent somehow.
