I agree that a feature to "copy" global settings is needed. I have quite a lot of changes in my global formatting settings. Now I start a new project, where I have to change a few minor things. The only way to do this (if I don't miss anything) is to go through the list of formatting styles and adjust every single one (again) and hope I don't forget one. Even if the current global settings are not used as a starting point, it should be possible to copy/import the current global settings for this project and then make the required adjustments. (In reply to lopura from comment #1) Hi lopura, Fortunately there is a way to do something similar. I've created a "dummy" project and adjusted the formatting options within the project as I want them. Now for every new project I can use the "load from another project" setting to quickly get the options the way I want them and then make any further tweaks. It would be nice if smarter functionality were in the IDE, but in the meantime this approach may be helpful, and it's a heck of a lot better than before the feature was added. |
