I developed the Project Settings feature. This is the Changelog entry:
Added Project Settings concept. The Project Settings is a file named ride_settings.cfg inside a directory named .robot located in the Test Suite directory. The search for this directory, is done upwards from the Test Suite directory. You can create an empty directory, .robot located in the Test Suite directory or any parent directory, and RIDE will create and use the ride_settings.cfg. This way you can have different settings, like: colors, UI language, and Plugins settings. The most relevant example is the creation of different Run Profiles or Arguments, in Test Runner. When you open a Test Suite outside one with Project Settings, you will see a dialog to restart RIDE, to use the Global Settings
Users using the development version of RIDE, will see a pop-up informing of the available update. Users of the released version will have to select Help→Check for Upgrade.
I attach a recording of using this development version of RIDE on the test structure:
