So this does not work...

As long as I am in the same Lazarus session I can create several new
build modes and then switch between them using the mode switch button
in the lower button bar below the main menu.
So far so good.
But when I exit and restart Lazarus the newly created build modes are
no longer present...

So do I have to create build modes separately for every project I work
with and then save them (in that case how are they saved)?
Currently if I just start Lazarus 2.0.10, create the build modes and
close Lazarus nothing gets saved.

Must be something *obvious* I am missing here.

Shouldn't there be globally available build modes in Lazarus?
