Remember the last used build config

Hi,

I open my current project in Advanced Installer, then select a specific build configuration and create an installer using this menu:
build_configs.png
build_configs.png (5.11 KiB) Viewed 11098 times
And the next time I reopen Advanced Installer it forgets the last used build configuration (thus the menu above again has the initial build config. selected) and when I hit run it uses the wrong build configuration by default as a result. This is really not optimal. Can you change this behavior?

All the best,
Johannes

Re: Remember the last used build config

Hello Johannes,

If possible, could you please give me some more details about this?

I have done some tests and it looks like the default opton is "Build All" and that is what the option is reset to after closing and reopening Advanced Installer.

However, in your case, it seems like that's not the case and that a default build is selected.

Re: Remember the last used build config

Hello Catalin,

So I have 8 build configurations. Per default, when opening the .aip file, always the third one is selected in the build menu. So when I e.g. build the fifth build config, then close the .aip file, then reopen it, the third one is selected again in the build menu. What I would need is that the fifth build config is selected in this case instead.

The screenshot above was created right after opening the .aip file. For me "Build All" is not the default build configuration. Nonetheless, having "Build All" as the default on opening a project would be not optimal for me given that on our build system only the files necessary for a single build configuration are generated. So it would be beneficial if the last used build configuration is always saved when closing the .aip file.

Hope this helps, let me know if it's more understandable now.

Best regards,
Johannes
