No, because thats way more confusing for the majority of users - two
different places to configure executable, arguments and working
directory.

If you've disabled the global setting KDevelop uses the settings of the
"active target" in the automake manager. Just open the target config of
the active target via its context menu and in one of the tabs there's
the configuration of working directory and arguments available.
