TwineCompile compiles immediately when changing Build Configuration

Recommended Posts

I use TwineCompile since a while and I am really happy with it.
Most of the time it works quite well ... sometimes it freezes my IDE.
But this is another topic ...

My question here is:
I am on RAD Studio 10.4.2, developing C++ projects.
When I change the Build Configuration of a project e.g. from Debug to Release via the Projects Window then TwineCompile starts to compile the whole project immediately.
I do not like this.
I am not sure, but I think the behavior was different in 10.4.1?
Can the direct compilation be disabled?

I want to determine when to compile 🙂

I thought this was the whole point of TwineCompile - it's always whirring away in the background trying to keep all *.obj files up to date.

Why do you "not like this" ?

Do you mean the "SORTA Compile" feature which should have an option to be turned off?

I missed the Trigger options for SORTA Compile.
After unchecking "Trigger when project options changes" TwineCompile behaves as i would like it.

If I'm in a large project and I'm changing something in the project options, or I'm just changing the active tab then SORTA compilation is done by default.
This compilation takes a few seconds and can be annoying - it is interrupting the workflow.
But it can be disabled - so, that's okay for me 🙂

@oliwe Thanks for coming back with an update. I dealt with the same "niggle" in a slightly different way : I have the options for SORTA compile set with "start delay = 5000ms" - so it doesn't keep launching into the compilation until I've not done anything for 5s. This seems to work for me. It's good that we can each set it up to suit our own preferences.
