Wish Private Sing Key - When switching projects, the last path remains.

When switching projects, the last path remains.

Hi Eriel, I'm from Brazil, and I think the Private Sign Key part of the IDE could be improved. After opening a project and loading a file using the browse button, if the developer opens another project, the file link remains the last one loaded from the previous project. The problem occurs when you have several projects, and every time you switch projects and the file key is different, you have to open and reload. It would be very useful and would speed up the process if each project saved the file key path in an IDE INI file. I hope this helps.

Usually one developer uses ONE key in his life.
So it does not need a keychange when switching projects. I have hundrets of projects. And i use ONE key.

If you need a different key than the one from this setting you should use

B4X:
#SignKeyAlias=Bob
#SignKeyFile=pathtofile
#SignKeyPassword=password

in your main module in your projects.

while developing for external contractors, it may be useful to use different keys, so if you are required to provide sources, you won't give away your key that allow access to your other apps
I didn´t answer about the need for a changing key. I just don´t need it.

For the one who need it i posted a solution for.

Yea same, Even though I have one key for all my apps (My primary key)

For contracts, with teir own playstore Account, I create different key for them and use this when updating theirs

#SignKeyAlias=Bob
#SignKeyFile=pathtofile
#SignKeyPassword=password
