IDE: OS-specific memory of created executable path

If i save my .PB source in Windows and create c:\myapp.exe, and then go over to Linux or OSX and go to compile it defaults to wanting to compile to c:\myapp.exe ... I can manually change it, but thats every time, and then when I save and go back to Windows i have to change it again; its an annoying time waster when testing by flicking back between two OS for tests!

This is of course in relation to the "; Executable = c:\myapp.exe" comment the IDE appends at the end of source code files, so it would be great if it had something like "; WinExecutable =", "; LinuxExecutable=", "; MacExecutable=" instead, because they're always going to be different.

Hopefully a simple request to add, and one which enhances cross-OS development :)
Thankyou for considering

"Basically" the same issue as this one:

At least with the *.pb.cfg approach, you can decide to ignore the configuration when
switching to other systems. So that might be an option for you.
