Having it (the settings) in one location is IMHO a better choice. I've been away from development with Gambas for a few years and I completely forgot about this nuance of the environment. If it happens to me (who has used the environment extensively in the past) then a newcomer may be even more perplexed. Anyway, it is usable as it is, once you know (or in my case remember) this little idiosyncrasy. I always accepted it as given that the environment, when opening an existing project, would inherit the IDE configuration settings of the environment in which the project was originally created. This also meant that logically when creating a new project the IDE would use it's own configuration settings. It never occurred to me for it to operate otherwise as it would not make sense for it to do so. Well, back to coding... :) Steve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
