I believe it's stored in the .user file? Is there a way to set it in the .pro file? I work in iOS/Android/Desktop, so it's kinda silly to have to set this 6 times (debug/release) in the same project! >
If you are using CMake you can switch to ninja instead of make. Ninja automatically uses all of your machine's computing power. Cheers, Cristian.
