Iseries Project Navigator

I'm new to WDSC, and have installed the latest and greatest (even got
WDSC-Lite yesterday).

 

I was poking around with creating projects, and it seems that if I've
collected some source members into a project, and work with them from
the Iseries Project Navigator view, then I am working with files on the
PC, and must "push" them back to the Iseries before compiling them.
When I want to compile them, I can't just run a compile from the LPEX
editor, but must do it as a "remote action" from the Project Navigator.
This appears to have the downside of not returning an error list, or
indeed any indication of whether the compile succeeded or failed. 

 

I like being able to group several source members together under a
project heading, but I also like the way compiles behave when I am
working from the RSE perspective.

 

Is there no way to get the best of both worlds, or must I choose one or
the other ?
