    One thing is bugging me a bit. When i create a project and save my project under the name HelloWorld.dev then still the project name can be GoodbyMoon. Then i see GoodbyMoon in the project options under name, in the name of the window and as main entry in the project pane. When i hit compile the executable will be called HelloWorld.exe. I do not have any information in the IDE that tells me the name of the target. I have to remember the name of the dev file. Also i can change the name of the project but not of the target (just to try something by modifying a source and create a executable with a new name to prevent overwriting the old one is not possible). Wouldn't it be more intuitive to have the name of the target in the project pane (because the other entries are also filenames). Then the name of the target can be changed The dev file should give the name of the project instead of the target. This also would make "reopen project" more consistent. Now it shows the name of the dev file and not the project name. If the name of the dev file would be the project name then this would be solved.

    Well, these i just some thoughts.....
