1) Double-clicking the project name also opens the first source file,
not the inspector
A known bug that is fixed in internal builds.
Cool!
2) Get Info and Show Inspector *always* seem to do the same thing for
every item in the groups and files
What do you mean by "the same thing". These menu items are designed to
be similar to the Finder's implementation of the same menu items. 'Get
Info' brings up a normal window focused on the selection, and doesn't
track selection changes. 'Show Inspector' brings up a floating utility
window that tracks selection changes.
OK - I get it (though I've never seen "show inspector" in the finder
....) I'd never pick it anyway when (1) is fixed! I get the general
idea; I'm just not sure about the UI ... it's a minor complaint, but
you bring up an inspector, then you have to click back to refocus the
project window, then click somewhere, then click the inspector again.
It'd be easy just to get info on each separate thing, but that's IMHO
and the complaint is rather minor :)
3) When doing get Info on the project, and changing the "place build
products in:" unnecessarily changes the "place intermediate build
files in". I want those to stay the same, and I have to re-edit them
My guess is that you have "place intermediate build files in" set to
"Build products location" instead of "Separate location".
Whatever this is it's *really* weird. Here's one way to recreate it.
Take a project where both are on "default location". Change "build
products" to "separate location", fill some path in the path box.
Close the info window. Open it back up, and now "intermediate" path is
different (it's attached from the top build products.) Maybe this is
the way it's supposed to work, but it's kind of weird, IMHO, and isn't
what I want to happen (the docs say default is what's set by the xcode
default, and this isn't what happens.)
The fix is to make them BOTH separate locations.
Quick question: For the "place build products in" and "place
intermediate build files", the paths are complete; is there a path
variable that I can use to say "current project folder?" I want to
pass out some of the code, and this will just serve to confuse
people.
For instance, some of my static libraries I want to intermediate
files to go into the build folder, but the file libXXX.a file to go
into a common folder that is one folder up, but not locked to my user
name. So instead of:
/users/bbarnes/code/dim3Common/Libraries
/users/bbarnes/code/dim3BitmapUtility/build
I could do:
<current project>/../dim3Common/Libraries
<current project>/build
If that's not there, mark this as a feature request :)
One thing you could try is to define a 'source tree' path in the
Source Tree preference pane. Then use the 'Setting Name' for the
source tree in the path, like so:
Add a Source tree like 'CommonLibraries' and then in your path put
${CommonLibraries}
and use the SRCROOT variable to refer to the project directory
${SRCROOT}/build
If this doesn't work please file a bug on the part that doesn't work.
Note: for the 'Source Tree' each person needs to add the same source
tree and set their path to it's location on their disk.
OK -- there's a bug with this :)
I had build products set as: ${SRCROOT}/../dim3Common/Libraries
and intermediate products as: ${SRCROOT}/build
There's a build directory created in ${SRCROOT} (right -- with the
build files)
But it also creates on in ${SRCROOT}/../dim3Common/Libraries, I just
want libdim3XXX.a there (which is there.)
Also -- as mentioned before -- there doesn't seem to be a way to close
an editor window if you by mistake create on in the project window.
How do I close this? I'm close to re-making the project!
