Yes, everything you stated is correct. I find that setting the global option is quicker (less user steps). But again, that depends on your needs. If certain project are only going to use a certain compiler version, then I guess setting it in the Project Options would be better suited for your needs. The projects I work on are compilable with all FPC versions. So for my needs, changing the global compiler options is more convenient. What is nice with MSEide, is that I can configure project or global macros that define my compiler version (and other stuff). I can have keyboard shortcuts to switch between those macro groups. I can also have desktop shortcuts that when they launch MSEide, it configures the FPC version macro via a ide command line parameter. MSEide starts up instantly, so even closing and reopening the IDE with a different FPC version enabled is super fast.
