CCSTUDIO: Replacing the shortcut Linked files with a separate copy file.

Part Number: CCSTUDIO
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2340R5

Dear Sir, 

When we import the example codes for CC2340R5 Platform, few source code files appears as shortcut files instead of original copy.

It's hard to manage the project, presently we have to manage these files by manually copy paste the contents into a new file & separately importing that file into project directory again. Is there any alternative way through which we can handle these shortcut files, so that we can easily update & manage the project.

Picture for reference regarding shortcut files. 

Thanks & Regards,

Harinder Singh

  • Hi Harinder,

    The directory from which you import the project should have a example.projectspec file. This is an XML file which contains the properties of project to set when importing the project in CCS.

    In this example.projectspec file, you would find a XML tag named file which has an attribute called action. If the value of action attribute is set to copy, then the respective file will be copied instead of linked.
