Also I found that the source files can't be renamed or deleted
through the project window-- they must be changed in the Finder and
then have the src folder closed and reopened in the project to see
the changes.
This can occur in XCode 2.x as well, depending on whether or not
"Folder References" were used when adding the source files to the
project. If you selected "Recursively create groups for any added
folders" you *can* edit file names through the XCode GUI, if you
selected "Create Folder References for any added folders" you must
use the Finder. With Folder References the contents of any folders
are dynamically updated in XCode, which I find very useful with code
stored in a SCM system (e.g. cvs, svn) and worked on my multiple
developers (any files added or removed by others on the project are
automatically picked up by XCode). With "Recursively create groups"
the set of files known by XCode is static, determined when you added
the files. Any changes occurring via the Finder, Terminal, SCM, etc.
must be done manually in XCode.
In XCode 2.x, "Recursively create groups..." is the default. Perhaps
they changed the default in XCode 3? I haven't switched over to
XCode 3 yet, so I'm just speaking from my experience with XCode 2.x.
I also see this in XCode 2 Ant-based projects. The src folder is
created automatically and there doesn't appear to be a way to set its
Folder References state. I see the rationale for having it auto-update
the src folder, but what I don't understand is why the delete/rename
functionality was removed here, since the ability exists for other
types of projects and it's allowed from the outside in any case. This
and the build.xml version are relatively minor problems, but they do
affect usability "right out of the box". I've filed bugs.
