Description
In my opinion user should decide how he/she wants to debug his/her applications. For example some time ago I used OpenSceneGraph (Pure 3D GUI app) with Core components inside IDE and I was obliged to debug in console.
BTW, Is this code correct? What dose forceconsole flag mean? (ide/Debug.cpp)
bool console = FindIndex(SplitFlags(mainconfigparam, true), "GUI") < 0 || forceconsole;
if (console && !debug_console_apps_in_console)
console = false;
In this case flag "debug_console_apps_in_console" has got the biggest priority.
At the end I would like to know if the following name for option is appropriate: "Debug console applications in separate console". The second probleme here is following variable name: "debug_console_apps_in_console".

Well, I am sorry for the delay, took me a while to figure out what the goal is here.
Please correct me if I am wrong:
You want the option to force ide to run application without "GUI" flag without opening the console. Am I correct?
Well, putting that into main global environment is not that good idea IMO. 'forceconsole', which you ask about, is "Debug"/"Run options" "Always open console (POSIX)" Option. If we are about to implement what you need, I would say we should put "Always run without console" there. Is that OK? (No need to post a patch, I would faster fix that myself...)

Yes, I would like to have such feature.

OK, but will this option work only with selected package? I mean that there will not be global option for turning off console.

OK, It seems that it works great, but I have several comments.
First of all we should change a little bit "RunLayout" to make it more polished. (Comp image - RunLayoutImprovements)
The second thing is lable "Run console (POSIX)". If it is only POSIX functionality why not to hide this options by conditional compilation (ide/Debug.cpp):
#ifndef PLATFORM_POSIX
dlg.consolemode.Hide();
dlg.console_lable.Hide();
#endif
Please notice that console_lable is new variable from improved layout. But, I would like to notice that console always works on Windows, so I don't think that this option is necessary. What do you think about this???
I enclose following files (all from ide package):
