If I goof around with the project properties (change, then unchange something, press OK), it works... until next time Slickedit is run.

Which beta version are you running (1 or 2)?

What project type did you create this project from? Or did you open a 3rdparty workspace?

Thanks

Beta 2.
Project/New/"Other C/C++"
Playing around, it happens when I specify the project file (.vpw) on the slickedit command-line.  If I switch the project (and then back) in the editor.  It works again.
I am running: "vs project.vpw yada.cpp"

So far, no luck reproducing this. Something must be different. I tried a default config and set the compile command to "echo %f". Start SlickEdit (vs project.vpw file.cpp) and press Shift+F10 to compile. Works fine. I tried the "(other)" project and a couple others. Works fine. I also tried Brief emulation which uses Alt+F10 for project-compile. Still works find right after startup.

I don't know what's different. If you create a new toy project, do you still get the problem? If you try a default config ("vs -sc <tempconfigdir> ..."), do you still get the problem?

Something evil is in my SE configuration as when I use a new config there is no problem.  Rebuilding config from scratch....

The problem is with the auto-restore options if I disable them, the problem occurs.

Hmm...still no luck reproducing this. Export your options so I can import them (post the .zip file). I tried turning off some or all Auto Restore options but no luck reproducing this.

Here's how to reproduce:
(1) Start with clean config.
(2) Make project "test.vpw": C/C++ Other:  Use echo %n%e for compile command.
(3) Run "vs test.vpw test.cpp"  and project-compile/Alt-F10.  (Should work).
(4) Change "Auto restore workplace files" to off and exit.
(5) Run "vs test.vpw test.cpp" and project-compile will not work.

Thanks for the info.  I was able to reproduce this and a fix will be coming in the next beta release.
