The Idea I came up with is a list of different configurations. Such that you go into config and select from the list the config you want. Then all of the preferences would be reloaded. Preferences would be of the form "$ConfigName/Preference". If no custom config was selected then the preferences would remain as they are now. This is also something that needs to be done. Id prefer something like this over tying it to executable as you may want different debug contexts for the same executable. Or more likely, the same debug context for different executables. Ideally there would also be a command line parameter to select the default configuration. Steven.
