Thread Copying the project to another folder

I have moved a project from my 'test' folder to my 'working' folder. Basically a 'Copy and Paste' of the entire folder.

When I load the project from the 'working' folder my changes are not being reflected.

After some investigation I am seeing the [projectname].wcb file contains the paths to the 'test' folder area.

Other than manually updating this, is there some way that it can be detected by the IDE?

What is "it" ?  What setting in particular are you referring to ?  There are
a *lot* of settings with path information in them in the project
configuration file.

In [IDE]
Designer Path= .........
Search Path=............
Output Path=.......................

In [Compilation]
Search Paths=........................


Until I realised this, even though I had opened the project in the 'working' folder, all changes were being saved to the former 'test' folder. So when I ran it in the new 'working' folder, I was not seeing any changes as they were being saved elsewhere.

Open Windows= is perhaps the one that you need to pay attention to. In
Delphi, it has always been important to delete the .dsk file when
copying or moving a project to another location, as the open files are
the ones that point to the old location. Closing all files first is
generally the thing to do.

Perhaps a future EWB enhancement would be to store the project file
location too, and if opened in a new location, to offer to adjust the
relevant paths in other items, if appropriate. The ideal would be to
have all paths within the same project directory as relative, but that
may not be possible.
