Er, you do know you can shift-select multiple items there and change the settings together, right ?

Hows that the IDE's fault that you rushed to change settings without checking what settings you were changing first ? Oh and if you want the same settings on both modes, just do "All Configurations". Not hard.

Sounds like youve not used VS5 or later. Projects and workspaces are now seperate, with each projects build settings being self contained. MSVC 4 used to get on my nerves with that, but it's no longer an issue.

No, it doesn't do it automatically unless you have some tool setup to do that. I've never found a tool for doing that I like. Interestingly enough VS will generate dependancies in either a text format, or suitable for it's own Makefile format (mostly but not completely compatible with standard make, which i'll admit is a bit silly)

Visual Studio will do this.

Visual Studio will do this - look at doxygen for example

InstallShield allows this. You could also set it up with the "Post-Build" options.
