Every time...

Finshed waiting for my desktop at work (read: old XP machine with 9 year old specs) to finish a build.

 

Realize I forgot to uncheck "run when opened" in the executable builder.

 

Now I have to rebuild it. Guess I needed to go make another pot of coffee anyway Smiley Surprised

I feel your pain.  I don't know how many times I did something similar with an FPGA build.

Place the whole coffee machine near to your workplace and try to make this option unchecked by default Smiley Very Happy

I was under the impression that the second build time in such a case would be much faster, since most things don't need to be done from scratch. Isn't there some caching (unless you do a "right-click...clean" on the build spec)?

 

I have not really benchmarked this, so I am just guessing... 😉

I think you are correct, but my computer is slow enough that I didn't wait around to find out. But by the time I came back to my desk (~15 mins) it was finished, so maybe it was even quicker than that!

I suspect a variation on the old carpenters montra would apply;

 

"Think twice, compile once".
