Newcommer to using SES so hopefully I'm not overlooking something.
In my quest to get started with nRF52DK examples compiled, I noticed 2 issues which relate to the PROPERTIES WINDOW:
1) After intial install, I got a PROPERTIES WINDOW on the right hand side of the IDE. When you close it with the X, the manual states it could be retrieved via the VIEW menu but I did not find it there. The only way I could retriew the PROPERTIES WINDOW on MAC (not on Windows - help!) was by doing the following :
- go to VIEW > TOOLBARS and select to show the STANDARD toolbar
- on the added toolbar, there is a drop down that shows 'standard', put this one to 'welcome' as in the screenshot (this dropdown is not present on windows version V3.12)
- in the welcome view, RECENT PROJECTS on the left, select your project. This brought the PROPERTIES WINDOW back
Not sure of this is how it is suposed to work but couldn't find much about this anywhere, I guess the VIEW menu should have the PROPERTIES WINDOW somewhere
2) The reason why I stumbled about the above was the following:
To edit project options, one has to pay attention to first select the project line itself in teh project exmplorer view (so I learned after many puzzled stares at my screen). I could not succeed at compiling some of Nordic's SDK examples, something was wrong with my Linker Section placement edits and link to Section placement file which I accessed via the menu PROJECT > EDIT OPTIONS ... and selecting the LINKER section. However, I noticed that the PROPERTIES WINDOW on the right was showing different info. Only when the PROPERTIES WINDOW values were changed, I got things to work - see combined screenshot attached.
I wonder if there is indeed something wrong here or I totally overlooked something ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback, especially on how to get back the properties window on Windows
