Moving form to auto-create fails
lazarus / 11-Options

Hello,

in the project options page "Forms", I have got two listboxes: "Auto-
create forms" and "available forms". I want to move one form to auto-
create, but when pressing OK and reopening the project options form,
the old state has been restored. Saving the lpi does not save the
changes. (0.9.28.2)

Is this an IDE bug or is there a general setting where I have to allow
auto-created forms? Other projects do not show this behaviour. Is it
possible to change this setting by editing the lpi file?

I have studied a lazarus example program (e.g. examples\dropfiles.lpi)
and it seems that auto creation of forms is not stored in the lpi
file, it is stored in the base pascal source file (lpr file):
Code: [Select]begin
  Application.Initialize;
  Application.CreateForm(TForm2, Form2);
  Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
  Form2.Show;
  Application.Run;
end.

My base pascal source file is very different, so that's the reason for
the malfunction. I simply need to add the code by hand.
