default compiler setting ignored on 2.65

[Paul Breen]

Just installed 2.65
I have pbwin 7 and 8 installed but I only keep ver 7 around in case of
some kind of compatibility issue that may come up. Firefly refused to compile the calc sample project untill the ver 7 compiler paths were filled in even thought pbwin8 was checked as the default compiler. Oh well i filled in the blank paths but firefly stubbornly uses ver 7 to compile rather than the "default"ver 8. Am I doing something wrong?
Sample project appears to be ok, it compiles and runs.

Default Compiler at the application level (FF) or at the project level?

Hi Paul,

Try opening the Calc sample (which is getting a little out-of-date these days...), and go to the FireFly top menu called "Project". Under that menu click "Project Properties". There should be a combo-box on the Project Properties form called "Compiler". Select PB8 from the drop down and then exit the form. If that doesn't work then please let me know.

Paul, that did the trick but...
Now that I know the fix I can more clearly state the problem for everyone.
\Project\Project Properties\Compiler  - setting here will over-ride
this:
\Options\Enviornment Options\Compiler\Default Compiler
I think this is the proper behavior, when it is understood.

Correct, Default Compiler is what NEW Projects Default to.
