Is there a variable that can be used in the Output Directory option that includes the project name? For instance:

SomePath\$(ProjectName)\$(Platform)\$(Config)

Using $(ProjectName) does not appear to work...

    Uppercase didn't work... neither did outputname

    I know it may seem awkward...I checked a .dproj file and it uses this tag: MSBuildProjectName

    So, it may work like this $(MSBuildProjectName)

    $(SanitizedProjectName) will do.

    Uwe Raabe helped me out with this big time before. See https://wiert.me/2016/05/24/delphi-xe8-does-not-adhere-the-projectname-in-a-unit-output-directory-but-does-recognise-sanitizedprojectname/

    Uwe Raabe (or anyone else) You wouldn't happen to know if it's possible to change the defaults for Output Directory and Unit output directory? (i.e. from $(Platform)\$(Config) to something else). I know I need do it only when starting a new project; it's just one less thing to worry about ;-)

    David Nottage AFAIK, the default values are hard coded. You can also use a central optionset to override those values, which might save you some clicks and keystrokes.

    Uwe Raabe As good as that sounded, it doesn't seem to work for me. My steps: Create a new multiplatform app, right-click Build Configurations, click New Option Set (and save it), change the Output directory option. It doesn't seem to honour the changed setting. Am I missing something?

    David Nottage That way it doesn't work, indeed. The option set settings are overridden by the settings for "all configurations", which is a bit weird IMHO. You can achieve the correct result when you drag the option set below the Debug and Release configurations.

    Uwe Raabe Sad part #2: Using $(SanitizedProjectName) in the Output directory prevents debugging from the IDE
