Re: Replacement for CW Re-search for files

Within Xcode, files belonging to a project can be grouped with folder like icons. Since this often obviates the need to organize the files themselves the "huge silly flat folder" is not an issue for most people. You can choose a custom location when adding files to the project so they are organized on disk any way you like as you create / import them.

If you do move a file within your project hierarchy, you can tell Xcode where to find the new file; right click on the red file icon in Xcode and chose "Get Info. From there you can set the path to the new location with the "Choose" button.

*Tip: this also works for multiple files - just select them all within Xcode and choose "Get Info" then choose the folder where they now reside and they will all be "re-pathed".

Anybody figured out if this is now possible with shiny, all-improved Xcode 3.2 ..?
Can't believe nobody else is ever rearranging their source files on disk.


Cheers,

Hello everybody,

Even years after 'the switch' I'm still missing some functionality in Xcode that simply worked w/o ever having to worry about it in CodeWarrior..

Remember the old CodeWarrior Re-search for files function?
You could reorganize your project on disk as you pleased and let CW work out where to find the project files.
Doing this in Xcode gives us the red files in project explorer and a hard time telling Xcode manually where to look for them, file by file or folder by folder..


Is there any straight forward way of letting Xcode look for project files that have moved within project folders all by itself?
It really doesn't have to search on all volumes known to the current system - just in all subfolders of the project's include path!


What to do if I want/have to reorganize the folder hierarchy storing my project files on the hard drive?
I don't suppose everybody else is dumping all of their project files in a single, huge, silly, flat folder on their hard drive..?!


Thanks,
Jan
