Solution properties are displayed in the Project Explorer view but cannot be added directly via this view.

An ultra common use case would be adding user include paths to the project - ideally I could right click, select the property key and add the correct values.

A refinement for the include paths would be to format the path correctly for GCC and substitute $(SolutionDir) for  the fixed portion of the path. For example:

$(SolutionDir) is d:\src\freertos\httpd

Drag and drop a new  include path from Explorer such as

d:\src\freertos\httpd/FreeRTOS/portable/GCC/ARM_CM3

Crossworks then fixes this up to be:

$(SolutionDir)/FreeRTOS/portable/GCC/ARM_CM3

Thanks.

  Working on this now.  With appropriate panache, of course...

  I think you'll like the new property GUI I've just put in place.

  I think this was already done for many of the "file" and "directory" properties that take a single file name or single directory name.

  We're doing some maintenance to our servers; it will be pushed, if successful, starting Monday.

  Hi. Is it possible to download a nightly build? No obvious links anywhere. Many thanks.

  The work on the wavefront has not been pushed to the v3 branch yet.  You'll need to wait until I've finished up with it.
