I'm new with Cocoa development and didn't spend much time with IB
before moving to XCode beta on Jaguar. I like it very much and am not
having trouble learning to use it.
However, there's a feature I'd really appreciate that doesn't seem to
exist.
I'd like to rename an entire project.
Suppose I've got a project that meets all my current requirements. Now
I want to expand it WITHOUT destroying my old project.
Add features, classes, GUI widgets, etc.
I'd like a Project -> Rename Project feature.
This would prompt me for a new project name and a browser for a place
to put it.
It would then copy (or optionally not copy) all my project files to
the new location
rename the .pbproj file.
rename all targets and executables.
optionally clean the project
do any other required housekeeping that I'm not yet aware of, such as
perhaps rebuilding indexes, find results and bookmarks for the new file
locations (so they don't point to the old files).
This seems rather trivial to implement if you know the inner workings
of XCode and would ensure I don't leave something out which I have when
I've just tried copying the folder and renaming all the stuff manually.
If there's tricky stuff left over that might be up to the programmer's
discretion, a quick text alert could mention additional places to look.
For instance: "Be sure to check application named objects in your .nib
file."
Thanks for a great product.
