|
Hide designers on run |
Hides Designer windows, such as the Object Inspector and Alignment Palette, while the application is running. The windows reappear when the application closes. |
|
Always compile modified projects |
In a project group, controls whether only the current active project or all modified projects are compiled when you initiate a build. Default = False (only the current active project is compiled in a Build). |
|
Show compiler progress |
Displays the compilation status of your program as it compiles. |
|
Show command line |
Displays the command used to compile the project in the Messages window when you compile a project. In a C# environment, displays the command used to compile the project and the content of the response file. The response file lists the compiler options and source files to be compiled. |

Verbosity |
Specifies the verbosity level of the build output. Select Quiet, Minimal, Normal, Detailed, or Diagnostics. The build output is written to the Output tab of the Messages window. |
|
Enable unit directory cache |
Helps improve both the IDE Code Insight performance and the compiler performance for Delphi. By default, the feature is on. This feature is particularly useful when units are located on network devices. |
