Can I just copy an Xcode 3 project (directory) to another directory without problems, or does the project file keep some references to the enclosing folder, or to the project name itself?
Often, while working through the various 'self-help' books on iOS/MacOS X programming, the next chapter will build on a project in the previous chapter. I usually organize these by making a directory structure like:
/users
/wsquires
/Xcode\ 3
/Apress
/MoreiPhone3Dev
/Chapter\ 1
/Chapter\ 2
/Chapter\ 3
/Chapter\ 4
/Chapter\ 5
/SuperDB
/SuperDB.xcodeproj
/SuperDBAppDelegate.h
/...
etc...
so when I'm done with the project in chapter 5, and I want to use it in chapter 6, can I simply copy the /SuperDB folder inside /users/wsquires/Xcode\ 3/Apress/MoreiPhone3Dev/Chapter\ 5/ into the /Chapter\ 6 folder, and rename the folder (and the .xcodeproj file) to "NewSuperDB"? Or am I just begging it to go kablooey?!
This way I maintain a separate backup copy of the original in case I screw something up in the new project.
