Hi,
Note to self, read the whole thread before replying to any :-) see my other reply plus below.
Yes I realised a while ago it can be confusing, thats part of why I want to combine both dialogs into one in v2.0.
Yes, it's pretty confusing. Once you create a project you don't expect that what you see in the build tab changes based on what change you make in the global settings (until you modify the commands in the project for the first time). This makes the project totally unportable because it depends on the global settings of the current instance of geany. So if I move the project from my home computer to work, things just can stop working because I have different global settings there.
What I would suggest is that upon project creation you make a complete copy
Thats just what I didn't want to do, remember there are filetype commands and execute commands too makes each project copy big.
of the global settings and since then the two are edited
independently. Otherwise all the settings is a total mess.
And you program in C++ !! I'd have thought overriding some entries only would be easy to understand :-)
Seriously, yes the whole thing should be in one dialog so that you can see what overrides what and edit the one you want, thats part of v2.0.
Cheers Lex
