Suggestion For Project Properties, Etc

Hello. The new V6 IDE is working quite smoothly. Nice work.

I have a question and I'm curious if anyone else has this issue also. Here is the situation. I have an independent system that builds/makes the DSP executable image, and also have a mirror of the source for that under Code Composer IDE for debugging, etc. It's fairly simple to make the two images binary identical, by matching up the options in the IDE with the options specified in the independent system. No issues there.

In the independent build system, the use of "global" options specifications is enabled, which is quite handy to ensure uniformity and compliance (e.g. to MISRA, optimization levels, etc).

In the IDE, though, each and every "project" has its own Project Properties. This is fine for some things, such as enabling local full debug. However, it seems to force me to duplicate each and every option for each and every project. This is detailed and time consuming work for sets of DSP libraries and sets of DSP applications, which I have to maintain and then jump back and forth between the IDE and the independent build system.

I played with concepts such as attempting to "point" to "command files" for the compiler, and a "common" command file for the linker ... however, this does not work because the IDE will "copy" these files into the local project directory and then they ... once again ... are duplicated and difficult to keep uniform.

So. Should that all make some sense, my question is whether or not a facility already exists in the IDE to do global project options, options that apply to all libraries and applications in the work space, for example? And, if so, where is it hiding?

And, should such a facility "not exist", does anyone know whether it might be a future enhancement of sorts?
