I have a Project file with several dll's and one exe.  The exe is not the
first item in the list and consequently is not the default target.  I can
manually edit the project file to correct this, but if I rebuild the
dependencies, the exe becomes the last item again.

When I use "change active target" and subsequently close the project, it
reverts back to the first item in the list as the active target when the
project is reopened.  IMO, the exe should be the default - not a dll.  But
in any event, the currently active target should be saved when the project
is closed and restored when the project is reopened.

BTW, do we have the next release yet?

Hi Joe,

The problem you are reporting is a known issue.

The solution will be that vx remembers the last activated target when 
closing the project.

We will not make the exe the default active target. There might be 
projects where there are more than one exe targets and other project 
where the exe is the most unimportant part.

Remembering the last active target in conjunction with the ability to 
assign a hostapplication for a target (allready implemented with last 
release) should be sufficient for all situation.

Currently we are working on next release, you will be informed accordingly.

Hi Andreas,

I understand your solution and the reasons.  It will be quite sufficient -
Thanks.
