Project/Profile (Tools/Options)

The Project/Profile tab of the Options dialog provides access to the basic project settings

Projects occasionally have a need to override the IDE options and there may be some options that are unique to each program. The Project Options dialog allows the developer to define the settings needed.

A project may contain multiple profiles. Each profile may be customized for a particular purpose. For instance, a project may have a Debug and a Release profile. The Debug program could contain some specialized setting that would aid in the development of the program. Once the project has been fully developed and is ready for distribution, it could be compiled with the Release profile setting that excludes the development settings. When multiple profiles are defined, a selection box in the toolbar allows quick changes between profiles.
