Disable auto activation of features from Visual Studio

Question

Hi, I'm playing around with the new tools, and so far they seem great. However when deploying the solution Visual Studio autmatically activates any features in the solution. Is there a way to disable the activation of the features contained in a VS solution? So it only deploys the sharepoint solution and lets you activate any features from the web interface instead?

Hi Christian-
For the sharepoint projects you could achive this by setting the "Active Deployment Configuration" project property to "No Activation". This will not activate the features on deployment. You could then activate the features from the web interface.
