Batch Build Dialog

The Batch Build dialog allows Build, Rebuild and Clean operations to be carried out on one or more configurations in a project, solution or workspace. It also allows a combination of projects, configurations and platforms to be stored as a Preset for easy future access, both from the Batch Build dialog and from BuildConsole builds. The dialog can be started from both the tray-icon menu and the "IncrediBuild" menu in Visual Studio.

Selecting Solution and Project Configurations

Selection of the target projects and configurations is done using two lists: the "Solution Configurations" list and the "Project Configurations" list. Selecting an item in the solution configurations list will populate the project configurations list with the project configurations available for the selected solution configuration. You may then check the required project configurations in the appropriate checkboxes.

Note that project configurations from multiple solution configurations may be selected at any one time (see screenshot for example). A summary of the total number of project configurations selected is displayed above the solution configuration list. For easy selection use the "Select All" and "Deselect All" buttons.

To perform an operation, press the Build, Rebuild or Clean button. The Build Monitor will open up, showing the build progress.

Using Presets

To store a combination of solution/project configurations for easy future access, click the "Save Preset" button. After naming the saved preset, it will appear in the "Preset" combo box whenever the Batch Build is opened for this project. You can also reference this preset from BuildConsole using the "/preset" command line option.

Solution Settings... Button

- Click this button to open the Solution Settings dialog for this project.

Options

Create browse information - Sets browse information options for this build. The checkbox for this setting has 3 states:

grayed - Use settings defined in the Agent settings dialog (this is the default behavior).
checked - Force creation of browse information.
unchecked - Disallow creation of browse information.

Build all projects regardless of errors - Continues building remaining project configurations regardless of specific projects failing to build.

Don't build/clean project dependencies - Will cause the operation to apply only to the specified project configurations, ignoring any sub-projects these configurations may have.

Notes

The configurations built and options used when executing a batch operation on a project/solution/workspace will be remembered the next time the Batch Build dialog will be opened for that file.
Presets are stored in a .ib_preset file, located in the solution folder.
