Jürgen Hestermann, how often do you change your working machine?
Well, I seldom change it and I would not even need the Lazarus settings on other machines because I did not install it on these machines.
But our system works the following (I don't know whether it is specific to our company or whether Windows offers this way of working too):
If I log on to a machine a Windows user does not exist for me (yet). I log on to Novell Netware first, then a local (duplicate) of my user is created on the local Windows machine. Then the profile is copied from my (Novell) user home dir to the local (Windows) user. If I log off, the local profile is saved (partely) to the (Novell) home dir and then the local Windows user is deleted completely (including the profile!). So if I log on the next day all parts of the profile that were not saved are gone!
I think it would be much better if the Lazarus settings would be saved to the Lazarus directory by default. Having 2 or more people sharing the same machine for Lazarus developement would be very seldom I suppose. And if so, they would be able to use different settings (if needed) by using a command line option in the same way as people like me have to use them now when having roaming profiles. At least no one would lose any settings this way. It could just happen that people have to search for (command line) options to cope with multiple settings.
