debugging

I have a solution in Visual Studio 2008, it has dozens of projects.

I would like to have all the pdb in the same folder.

From the property page of a project I see that the pdb will go to the "Intermediate Directory"; also .obj files go to the "Intermediate Directory".

Each of our projects has its own folder because we want to keep the .obj separated, at the same time I would like to have all the pdb in the same folder.

Looking at the buildlog.htm I see the option /PDB which controls the pdb path, this option doesn't seem to me available in the property page.

Maybe I will have to use a post buil script?
