Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2014-10-30 13:01:25 UTC

I opened in trunk-based IDE the project created in 8.0.1 version.
Pre-Build settings are available in Project Properties.
After specifying folder and command I pressed Apply.

But it's impossible to run Pre-Build, because it's grayed out in submenu.

I had to close project and open it again.

Work around:
change lookup context (click on any other node/view) and try again.

Comment 2 Vladimir Voskresensky 2014-10-31 14:25:28 UTC

I had only one opened project and switching context to output window and back didn't work
Workaround is: close Project, reopen project

Each C/C++ project has at least two nodes: Project itself and logical or disk sub folder. Expand project node and click on sub node and invoke pop up menu on project node.
