anyone have an idea how to make the uVision screen show the directory/version/... you are working from on a permanent basis.
I am working on several versions of the same project, sometimes making a quick check in an older version, sometimes working in the release file, sometimes .....
Till now I have avoided working in the wrong version, but I can easily see that happening some day.
it would be great to see e.g. "ver 1.0" somewhere

Just a question - why three versions? "work", repository "head" and a repository branch or release?
Work+head+branch is the reason for all the nice three-way diff programs out there, so you can examine the code changes before deciding what to merge between two branches or between branch and head.
OK, here is the loooooooooooooooooooong explanation
I am making a software backwards compatible for about 2000 values that are user configurable, To check that I need to build and run older versions. I can not just run a .hex of those, because, in some cases, the data left over from another version does not get changed, thus I have to force the older version (say 1.0) to default, for which there is no command, in order to do that I must build, flash download, breakpoint, modify some storage, change variable value, run, save, check. then, to save a lot of downloads, I do the same with another version (say 1.04) and again to force the older version (say 1.04) to default, for which there is no command, again, seeting build, flash download, breakpoint, modifying some storage, changing varibale version, run, save, check. Now I go to the commandline tab for the current version and again build, flash download and see tge progression of the particular values I, at that time are working with filter into the current version.
Happy now?
Erik; A "dirty" method would be to have a multi-project workspace (multiple workspaces) and then set the editor background color for each project to a different color. The main trouble is my age, I could not remember which color went with which project. Also, I work with multiple monitors and open a different Keil on each monitor. Bradford
The main trouble is my age, I could not remember which color went with which project. same problem for same reason :) Also, I work with multiple monitors and open a different Keil on each monitor. well since, for me, runnig debug involves 2 monitors, I would need 6, I do not think there is place on my desk for that
There are nice monitor stands for 6 monitors in a 3x2 configuration. And standard VESA-compatible monitors can be used.
