I recently successful finished a project using free tools from you. I can not say that I have had no problems. I liked some of the features the CDT that the is not have even expensive systems. However, some features are not perfect and do not work correctly. And I refused to use the latest version of SW. On KDE it works badly, though beautiful. Still, I am very satisfied.

Thank you very much.

Hello Syrine, Thank you for reply.

Behavior of the directory renaming function leads to unpredictable changes ''#include'' directives. It would be smarter to define two different functions. Sometimes suddenly and spontaneously indirect determination ''#include'' is changing to global.

Not able to compile a single file as well is missing restart of the program without rebooting. Change platform of project, even without changing the type of microcontroller has a big problem. Very often need debug project on the Nucleo and on a the prototype device and need to switch the platform quickly.

...

The latest version for Linux has a very large indentation in the windows, which reduces the amount of visible useful information. A text editor unpleasantly blinks while scrolling.

...

And other trifle.

Excuse me bad English, please.

Note that AC6 is based on Eclipse.

Most of the issues you describe sound like general Eclipse issues - so nothing specifically to do with ST or AC6.

Not able to compile a single file

This is certainly an Eclipse issue: You need to uncheck 'Build Automatically' on the 'Project' menu

is missing restart of the program without rebooting.

Not sure what you mean by that?

a very large indentation in the windows,

In the Project properties, look at C/C++ General > Formatter

See also Window > C/C++ > Preferences > Code Style > Formatter

And Window > General > Editors > Text Editors
