I go to Executeables, myApp and open Info with Arguments tab selected.
Before on one machine, I had a whole bunch of Environment variable settings,
which I can enable or disable at will or when needed. Now, I move the
hard drive to another Mac, and this time I loose all of these variables.
Why? And how can I prevent this or take along these important variables.



To expand on what joar said... if you go to the finder and control-click your xcode project file, you will see an option in the menu 'Show package contents'. This will reveal that an xcode project is actually a 'package' which is a folder that looks like a file. you'll see the following files, in my case:

project.pbxproj
sean.pbxuser
sean.mode2
smcbride.pbxuser
smcbride.mode2

They are all text files, and you can take a look inside if you're
curious. But basically, environment variables are (annoyingly!) stored
in the .pbxuser and/or .mode2 file, which are keyed to the user name. This sucks because often you want to enable things like MallocScribble
in your Debug target so that it is on all the time for all employees. But that's not possible. :(




Ok, so you say this ".pbxproj" file is in my project folder? Well, if that's the case
then why did I lose this data? It was on my external hard drive.


Also, you might want to know I'm using X-Code 1.5 - but it appears to have the same
files....


So - since these files were saved on the boot drive of the specific machines, what
are they called, what is their names? Where can I find them?
