In this case, don't use the project.res, but use your own. You can
include multiple resource files. So you can generate it before.
I just followed the instructions here (and have been doing it for many
years, even if this is the first time I tried to generate the file with
"Execute before"):
https://wiki.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Project_Options#Resources
though it doesn't say exactly when it is regenerated ("depending on the
actions taken in the IDE") it also says "it is therefore a good idea to
add the files that are indicated here to the project file as well".
And even if I use a different rc file with {$R myspec.rc}, if the source
file with the directive doesn't change it won't be automtically
recompiled so no regeneration of the resource file would take place,
even if one of the files in myspec.rc has changed, right?

Hello,
I'm trying to use the "Compiler commands" -> "Execute before" to
generate a file that will be embedded as a resource in the
executable, but it seems the command is executed after the
resources are compiled (there's a message complaining that the file
is not found and in fact when I execute the program the resource is
not available).
Is there a way around it, other than executing the command manually?
If you mean the project .res file:
That is updated on save, which is independent of compile.
Ouch, so my projects that embed files as resources (and I also added
those files to the project to be sure they're tracked by lazarus) are
working by pure luck.
Or not, since a save happens anyway when the file is modified with
the lazarus editor and I use compile or build, right?
What happens if I edit the file with an external editor, it's not
currently opened in lazarus (so it won't prompt me to reload it) and
I press compile/build/run? Will the .res be regenerated or not?
As I said, for the problem at hand I changed the logic, but I'd like
to be sure that my project work by design and not by chance.
Bye
