Description David Pochet CLA 2010-05-19 05:49:46 EDT 
Build Identifier: 3.6 M7 20100506-2000

When an include path has to be edited (in Path&Symbols > Includes) on a project using several languages, the modification can be done in all configurations, but not in all languages.

So the update has to be performed several times manually, on each language.

It would be a great enhancement to allow modifying all languages in one operation (e.g. by adding a "Apply to all languages" checkbox in the edit dialog)

Reproducible: Always

Note that an 'Add to all languages' checkbox *is* available when adding a new path - so it's inconsistent that it isn't also available when editing an existing path!

Same applies to the 'Delete' button.
Comment 3 Marc-André Laperle CLA 2010-07-09 12:59:36 EDT 
Maybe it should be possible to select multiple languages on the left, holding ctrl or shift? Then on the right you would see the common includes and edit them.

That could be a further enhancement but, for initial consistency, just a checkbox for 'All Languages' is needed.

NB: if this "pick list" feature is added here, be sure to also add to the other related dialogues - Add, Delete, etc,...
