Description

Type: Bug

"Launch Configuration"

Image

"Launch Configuration"

Image

"Select Startup Device" -> "Launch Configuration"

Image

There's another command for "Select Launch Configuration"...that appears to be an alias or does the same thing.

Use a consistent nomenclature.

  • Launch vs Startup
  • Configuration vs Device
