Better display for compiling errors #968

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What change would like to see?

It would be great if you could see all errors as entries in a list instead of 
the text view the Arduino IDE uses right now. Much like other IDEs e.g. Visual 
Studio or Netbeans.

Why?

A developer usually likes to fix all errors first, so this idea would make it 
easier to find them.

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions?  If so, how
can these be mitigated?

I don't think so because it doesn't change anything concerning the sketch.

I think the current version is preferred because it encourages people to fix 
the first error first, keeping things simple for the user.  Often subsequent 
errors are a result of the first one, and we don't want to overwhelm people 
with a huge list.  Also, the current implementation keeps the interface simple.
