I do not enjoy setting the options each time I create a new project.
There are several settings I usually change when I create a new project (I want to use C++11, add a lib for boost_system-mt, include my own libs and header files in a custom location etc).

Can we have a way to save our current project settings as the default so I don't have to keep doing it? It's especially tedious when I create several dynamic libraries in one day.

Could you also separate this into two default settings:
(a) main project and;
(b) unittest project?

Borland's IDEs used to give you a button to "save as default".
In their newer IDEs, there's a menu that allows users to change the default project config.
