PB9 Projects and Primary Source File

[Bill Eppler]

Does anyone know how to make the "Primary Source File" sticky when saved as Project?

[Dave Biggs]

Window / Options.. / File - check 'Reload Previous file set at start'.

Save As Project (.pbp) with the 'Prmary source' open ('on top' of other project files currently loaded into the IDE)

Dave,

Save As Project (.pbp) with the 'Prmary source' open ('on top' of other project files currently loaded into the IDE)

Thanks, but doesn't work for me. Primary source assignment does not seemed to be saved as part of the project. Maybe in 9.01.

Also just noticed that the status line in the editor for "Set Primary..." is:
"Make the current file the primary source file" which is not really accurate.

Help file does say the assignment via the "Set Primary..." is not sticky.

You are right Bill - sorry I had that wrong.

Looks like the only way would be to create a shortcut or otherwise launch the Editor using the /P: command line option.

e.g. Pbedit.exe /P:"Project Main.bas" "Project Files.pbp"

Although not specifically listed in History.txt, this issue is fixed in 9.01.
