Saving the build path is easy: just add the command-line path to the cache of build directories on startup as well as at configure time. Saving the source path is more difficult. The GUI gets the source directory by scanning the files in the build directory. If the build directory hasn't been generated yet, then the GUI will have no idea where to find the source directory, unless we start caching source directories as well. I think, as you noted, you're better off just triggering "Configure" before closing the dialog. Kyle >
