I haven't found this at all. I use "Save Distribution as.." to keep a 
copy of the settings for each project and just open the right config 
file when it is time to build. The only problem is that sometimes the 
DB window shrinks after loading a config file, so I can't see the 
buttons at the bottom. In this case, open the Message Box, make sure 
the DB is the current stack and type "set the height of this window to 
390".
