[ptp-dev] Application tab behavior

[Christopher Navarro <cmnavarr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This might be best discussed on a bug and maybe it's been discussed in 
the past, but what are your thoughts on what should happen to other 
launch tabs if a user changes the target system configuration and/or 
host in the launch configuration dialog? For example, should the 
application tab clear it's fields? I ran into an instance where I had a 
launch configuration that I was using locally and I changed the target 
configuration and host, which made the application tab invalid. But, 
since it didn't clear the tab, I was able to launch the job (and fail) 
since the application was pointing to the wrong directory. Because the 
application tab is dependent on the resources tab, I would expect it to 
be checking to see if something has changed that would force it to need 
to clear it's fields. I suspect the Performance Analysis tab has the 
same issue in the profile launch configuration where it should probably 
invalidate it's selections (and isn't) when a host/target config change 
which could cause runtime issues.

Should I open a bug on this or is this behavior the preferred?

Thanks,
Chris
