Debug a file without project

First hello everybody and thank you to the Code::Blocks development community for the excellent work!

Just a little question:

I'm not an heavy user of the IDE but once in a while I need to debug a C file. All the program is contained in one file and if I open I can compile and run it. But not debug. In order to debug I had to set-up a project.

The question is: is possible to compile and debug without setting up a project?

Good since I was thinking I missed something. Bad since always setting up projects (file changes) is really uncomfortable.

There is a particular reason for not allowing it by design? Can it be added?

Thank you!

You can use targets, if you wan't create projects...

it is simply not needed from the developers, so it isn't implemented

Sorry, I missed it!...

Unfortunately even if I'm not a beginner (I'm the author of Super micro: smmax.sourceforge.net, and for this I was willing to use it) I do not think it would be so easy to enter in the IDE logic just to add this feature!

Anyway thank you very much for this wonderful free IDE that otherwise has really a lot of features!! :)
