Bruce STEERS reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

Request: fix force bytecode breaking if you edit on older gambas.

Type             : Request
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : Unknown
Product          : Development Environment


Description
-----------

A compatibility fix is needed for when using GB_PCODE_VERSION

The problem arises if you test the compatibility of your program on an older gambas system and have to make an edit.

Loading the project into an older gambas/ making an edit / then saving removes the PCODE setting as it looks for it in .project file and does not find it as it's now in the .settings file and thus does not save it in the .project file unless you remember to re-add it in the old Env editor before saving..  so when loading again in new gambas it's gone.

Maybe if the user has selected the force bytecode option in the project properties page it should save/restore the setting in the .project file as before not the .settings file?   for compatibilitys sake.

Respects
BruceS
