I believe this has been discussed recently, but can't find it right now. I'm willing to write patch, which of these features would be desirable/accepted? 1) Create user the configuration to include Lazarus version (just major&minor) in the folder name? (at least NetBeans does this, I find it nice :) ) 2) Store what's the "default" Lazarus installation path in a setting for that configuration and warn in case it's running the "wrong" one; 3) In the "warning" above, the allow user to chose to create a new configuration, automatically create (and later search) based on project folder name (if different), parent folder name and/or arch/targetos.
