Desktop IDE - how to change project?

Getting Started
1

Hi,

I’m getting started using the desktop IDE and I’m having a bit of difficulty switching between projects.

When i compile and load one project, and then switch to a different project and hit compile, it compiles and loads the project i previously had open.

is there a place where i can see and change which project is “active” to be compiled and loaded?

it also seems to keep recompiling the same code and not reloading after i save changes. closing and reopening the IDE clears this.

Particle Dev does not have a concept of an active project. You should only open the folder you want to build, as it will build everything in the folder containing the file that you opened, as well as subfolders.

This explains it more clearly, with pictures:
