Hi,
This got committed, but actually the button did set "%p" (not %d) to the
directory in which execute non-filetype commands (like make). This is
useful for anybody with a basedir-only build system (non-recursive
autotools, handmade Makefiles, Waf, plenty of others), so I think
providing an easy way to set this is useful.

What do you think?
I had 2 reasons to remove it:
* It's bad UI design to have a button on one notebook page that silently affects fields on another notebook page.
* It's quite easy to type %p, select it and middle-click paste it to any other fields desired.
I'm not against adding something like it, so long as it's on the Build page.

Nick
I agree with Nick to remove it, but I wouldn't move it anywhere.
I don't think we need it any more, IIRC it was just to allow a "one-click" setting that matched the way pre-0.19 project build settings worked. And who remembers pre-0.19?
Cheers
