Hi and welcome.
Please tell windows/linux/? and explain more
"cannot be changed"
Its grey ? you cannot type or delete it ?
Its not there?
Its Options->Build & run ->General tan you talk about?

Dale4096

@mrjj : Windows... The "Default build directory" field can be edited and apparently "apply"-ed but the build directory remains as the "reset" value regardless.

mrjj

@Dale4096
so nothing is created in new place when you select rebuild all?

I have mine to a ram drive (e:)
e:/build-%{CurrentProject:Name}-%{CurrentKit:FileSystemName}-%{CurrentBuild:Name}
and that works.

Are you using the sessions feature ?

Dale4096

Got it, thanks.
I had not been doing a "rebuild all".

mrjj

@Dale4096

@mrjj Hit the topic tools button but don't see how to mark as solved....

mrjj

@Dale4096
You hit it and it open menu and you select the solved one and its not happening ?

Dale4096

@mrjj I hit the topic tools button and there are just 4 items to select from: favorite, twitter, facebook, google+...

mrjj

@Dale4096
Its not the gear symbol. its sort of under the topic.
Reply, SortBy and Topics Tools

@mrjj : I click on "Topic Tools" and there are two options: delete, or ask as question... am I to assume that "delete" means solved?

mrjj

@Dale4096

and see if options comes.
