In this case, don't use the project.res, but use your own. You can include
multiple resource files. So you can generate it before.
I just followed the instructions here (and have been doing it for many
years, even if this is the first time I tried to generate the file with
"Execute before"):
https://wiki.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Project_Options#Resources
though it doesn't say exactly when it is regenerated ("depending on the
actions taken in the IDE") it also says "it is therefore a good idea to
add the files that are indicated here to the project file as well".

Hello,
I'm trying to use the "Compiler commands" -> "Execute before" to generate a
file that will be embedded as a resource in the executable, but it seems the command is executed after
the resources are compiled (there's a message complaining that the file is not found and in fact when
I execute the program the resource is not available).
Is there a way around it, other than executing the command manually?
If you mean the project .res file:
That is updated on save, which is independent of compile.
Ouch, so my projects that embed files as resources (and I also added those
files to the project to be sure they're tracked by lazarus) are working by pure
luck.
Or not, since a save happens anyway when the file is modified with the lazarus
editor and I use compile or build, right?
What happens if I edit the file with an external editor, it's not currently
opened in lazarus (so it won't prompt me to reload it) and I press
compile/build/run? Will the .res be regenerated or not?
As I said, for the problem at hand I changed the logic, but I'd like to be sure
that my project work by design and not by chance.
Bye
