Scott,

There's no setting. When you change the active target Xcode looks to see if the new target has an executable (i.e. debuggable) product. If it does, Xcode also changes the target executable to match the new active target.

A lot of targets don't produce executable products (i.e. the target causes a product to appear in the products group and an executable to appear in the executables group), and creating a custom executable does not satisfy the condition. Changing the active target to one without an executable product leaves the active executable at whatever it was previously set to.

In most multi-target projects, when I switch the active target, the
executable also switches appropriately. But I have one where I must always
remember to change the executable as well.

This started out as a single Cocoa app target (an old one, actually
converted from CodeWarrior). Then I added a target to build an Automator
action, and added the executable Automator. I've looked at the targets'
settings, and I don't see what to change.
