ok, i was being a little overconfident. There is no launch+attach, it is
either or. so i decided to set the Command in Configuration Setting->
Debugging to idl_opserver.exe and set the Attach option to Yes. Now I do
have to launch IDL manually, but this is less effort than manually attaching
the process each time. The debug process is then stopped by Shift+F5 rather
then exiting the idlde.
Anyway, the tip with the process attachment was great. This was the last
remaining issue I had with switching to 7.0. Well, besides the remaining
bugs from the Tech Preview, which will now be all fixedd....(yeah right)...
I heard 7.1 is planned for spring 08. But with a public roll out of 7.0 we
will have some more beta testers. :-)
cheers,
haje
