standalone settings vanished linux

The method by which LC saves standalone build settings does not differ 
by platform; for all of them if embeds the settings in a custom property 
set of the stack (cRevStandaloneSettings, if memory serves).

Are you sure you saved the file after establishing the settings?

Also, note that the Save As dialog will always come up unless you choose 
the option in the Standalone Settings to specify a target path to build 
into by default.

I believe that once you set that, and then save the stack, you should 
have a simpler one-click build process going forward.
