I started a new project and set the working directory then loaded the playwave package that required a recompile of the IDE. Afterwards the project settings were gone but I didn't realise and did a compile of the blank form to see if everything was still working but nothing appeared in the working directory and I couldn't find where it put any files it might have created. All this totally confused my poor little brain. Should the install of a package have cleared the project details?
I am running Win32 Lazarus 1.4.0, FPC 2.6.4, SVNR 48774.
