Several PREFS to easy Project Manament

I just thought, it would be perhaps a way to ease Project Manament,
if you could use several PREFS files from the same IDE version.

When you work on a project, you would have your IDE in certain settings,
especially Default-Directories and Tabs opened.

if you could safe these to a different PREFS file and chose the PREFS to use from some option Menu,
you could easily switch between projects, or open an empty IDE for some tests,
and open your current project again afterwards.

could be a first step into Project-Manament for the IDE...

You can easily change the preferences file that is used with the /P commandline switch.

ah.... cool!

that means, you just need an extra linkfile for a project, to open as much projects as you like, each on its own...

Exactly, or create your own little "Project manager" app if you want.

btw, the /P switch will be written to the registry, so the next time you double-click on a PB file it will use these preferences too. If you want to avoid that just add the /NOEXT parameter too to avoid writing the registry entry.
