How to set "WelcomePageFile" property in *.dproj?

[A.M. Hoornweg 138]

Hello all,

 

Not everyone may know this, but Delphi allows you to specify a per-project "welcome page" in the *.dproj file. 

The referenced html file will automatically be opened in your default browser whenever you open the Delphi project in the IDE.

 

I find this very practical because it can be used as a "sticky note", to show the developer some information about the project and its current status.

 

<Delphi.Personality>
  <Source>
  </Source>
  <Excluded_Packages>
  </Excluded_Packages>
   <WelcomePageFile Path="index.html"/>
</Delphi.Personality>

 

But... I've forgotten where in the Delphi IDE the setting is to specify this welcome page.  I currently resort to editing the *.dproj file manually in an external editor and I hate doing that.

 

Does anyone know where to find this setting? I must be getting old ...

If we are talking about the same thing AFAIK it is called project page and it is accessible in the project menu.

Duh...  I always thought all options stored in the *.dproj could be reached with ctrl-shift-F11 but for some reason they made an exception for this setting.

 

Thanks!
