Hi,
Many programs require command arguments. Thus, you specify the
parameters in Project Settings: Debugging -> Command Arguments

The problem is that you can only specify ONE argument string. During
development we often debug our applications with different command
arguments to try certain features.

New feature
It would be great if you could specify multiple command argument
strings, and then when you hit F5 you would get a popup dialog where
you can choose which one to use.

We use configurations for this purpose. Create a copy of your Debug
configuration and name it e.g. Debug 2. Change command line arguments
for this configuration. You can create as many configurations with
different arguments as you want. Then select desired configuration in
configuration drop-down list before pressing F5.
