Hello Klaus
I'm still intrigued by the strange things happening. I open MC 2.8,  
toplevel "standalone Builder", remove the cust prop set and saves it.  
But again, when I try to make a standalone, the window states  
"Standalone Builder 2.7.3" and nothing is changed. Your suggestion of  
making a settings.sabu file works for me, so I can still go on making  
the standalones until your next release of the IDE.
