Description

When several projects are part of a project group, it would be nice to set the file and product build number for all the projects at once. (This would also be useful for some of the module attributes: debug build, pre-release, special build, private build.)

Company name, legal copyright, and product name could also be updated as common across a project group.

Perhaps project group settings to override project settings for these parameters?

Why limit this to version info? I'd like to be able to edit all project options for a project group (or a selection of multiple projects from a project group) as a unity.

None of my recent projects (in the realworld-sense) consisted of less than three projects (in the Delphi sense) usually it's more like six or ten. I also very seldomly want to change project options for only one project of a project group. Keeping the project options in sync manually is a major pain.

Not that this gets you exactly what you want, you may want to try GExperts using the "Project Option Sets" where you can go into the project options & save the settings like normal. Then with the GExpert, you can select which options you want to save to your Option set. then you can just apply an option set to a project. it won't apply to a whole group, like it sounds like you want, but you can set it once and then just apply to each one after that. You can change output directories, compiler directives, all flags, etc. VERY cool tool.

or you could make one master inc file that all projects include, and have at least some of the directives in there

Not for debug options though.
BTW Visual Studio acts in such way.
One can define solution-wide(project group) options and override them in individual projects/files!
