Still lacking a help entry for Close Unrelated which tells me the exact meaning, my guess was, that it will close all Projects which are not needed for the build of the selected project. Either there is a missunderstanding on my part or otherwise Close Unrelated Projects does the wrong thing in 3.2RC3.

If I have projects A, B, C and D and both B and C reference project A while neither A nor D reference any other Projects, then my understanding is:

Selected Project A, related none, unrelated B, C, D
Selected Project B, related A, unrelated C and D
Selected Project C, related A, unrelated B and D
Selected Project D, related none, unrelated A, B and C

The current behaviour when all projects are open is

Close Unrelated Projects of A closes only D instead of closeing B, C and D
Close Unrelated Projects of B closes only D instead of closing C and D
Close Unrelated Projects of C closes only D instead of closing B and D
Close Unrelated Projects of D closes A, B and C as I would expect

The reason I wish my interpretation is right is because I have one "Library" project where I hold classes of general utility and individual projects for different applications. Almost all application projects reference the "Library" project. Thus according to the current (3.2RC3) implementation they are all related and thus I cannot benefit from the "Close Unrelated" command to close all but the application project I want to work on.
