Synchronize Changed Application Folders across Builds

We typically define at least two builds for our applications, one for a CD Image and one for a compressed "Single Exe" image. For the most part the details of each build are the same with the exception of the media and some prerequisites we define.

For complicated reasons, we typically must change the AI default Application Folder under Installation Folders. It would be great if when we change the path for this setting under one build if AI either automatically updated the path for other builds defined in the project, or prompt us to see if we want to change the path for the other builds. It is just one of those details that is often overlooked and doesn't come to the forefront until we start testing the resulting MSI or EXE.

Similarly, it would be great if AI could do the same thing whenever items are changed under the Themes section. We use custom Banner and Watermark images on our dialogs and have been caught more than once not remembering to update the selection under each build for the project.

Thanks!
