I'm debugging a project whose configuration in the toolbar is Release. I keep changing it to Debug, debugging, and then exiting the IDE. Each time I restart the IDE the config is still Release. Once I've changed it, it should persist to future sessions!
Workaround: You can use Project properties->Manage Configuration where you can set active configuration for each project
The problem is we don't want to save the full project and possible upgrade the version just because the active configuration has changed. Active configuration is a 'private' state and (correctly) saved in private/configurations.xml but there is currently no mechanism to update private configuration file without also updating the shared one. This need to get fixed first.

Perhaps this setting should be saved in project.xml instead? Currently it is saved in private/configurations.xml.

Fixed. Now active configuration is saved in private/private.xml so it can be saved without saving/updating other project metadata. changeset: 187481:aa65a7eec3d1 tag: tip user: Thomas Preisler <thp@netbeans.org> date: Thu Jan 27 21:25:47 2011 -0800 summary: #143649 - Toolbar configuration not saved after restart
