The "Run Selected Actions" and "Run from current action" are a major convenience of FinalBuilder. However, it is problematic for a script that requires initialization (reading an INI file, preparing a service, etc).
This problem could be solved with an "OnStartup" Action List that is always called, regardless of how many actions from the script you really want to run.
Is this possible, or is there an alternative way do approach this problem, short of replicating a "Run Action List" in front of overy section of the script?
If you regularly need to run sections of your build, you may want to look into parameterizing it, using Prompt For Variables (Enhanced) or similar so that you can press “Run” and quickly choose which section(s) of the build to run.
Even if you only need this functionality for debugging, you could still add the prompt action and have it skipped when IsAutoRun variable is true, or when some other variable is true (ie define a project variable IsDebugBuild and turn it on for them.)
