I'm a bit annoyed about this, because for it to work you need to have 
successfully compiled the file you're right-clicking.

In practice, every time you have a failed compilation for a file, you 
lost these informations until you recompile successfully again. At 
least, remembering the last known state would be an improvement in 
usability.
