Ok.. Next version there will be a button for this. ;)

It always is using the directory where you last opened a file. At least it
does it here.. i will check on it.

I could look for this header the first time it's starting up and make it
editable inside the options dialog.

No.. its pure Delphi. To be specific: Delphi 4. So there is an Delphi
example project for the plugin in the plugins folder.
I saw this great emacs plugin for creating bendable objects. I am hoping
someone may be so brave transfer it to a plugin for LDDesignpad. The Plugin
can even have its own forms so you could even pop up message or dialog
boxes etc.

I am glad you like it!
Play well!
