This one is not a problem Benoit, its just that when the IDE does not stop at 
an error, but your executable dies with a popup error message (often this 
message is not the source of the error), then one has to step through ones 
code sub by sub isolating things down to the line level to try and find the 
problem.

It just gets tedious having to repetatively use the popup make executable 
dialog, thats all. A single click > executable would save much tedium

Not, that was a different issues
