    Description

      Running the same program with different arguments leads to different tabs in the 'Application Output' window. However, unless you add a "Run configuration" for every arguments set, it is no longer possible to identify the arguments used in each tab. Especially since you can reorder the tabs.

      Workflow:

      1. Run "dummy.exe"
      2. Run "dummy.exe -arg1 foo" (by changing the command line arguments in the run configuration)
      3. Run "dummy.exe -arg1 foo -arg2 bar" (by changing the command line arguments in the run configuration)

      Result: three tabs are open, all saying "Starting dummy.exe..."

      Expected result: have a way to know what tab was ran with what arguments.

      Suggestions:

      • Show the arguments in the "Starting ..." line
      • Show the arguments in the tooltip of the tab (might be too long to show in the tab itself)
      • ...
      • Automatically create new run configurations (too many configurations)
