CCS/66AK2H12: How to rename directory in which a project resides

Tim Cooper1
Intellectual 980 points
Part Number: 66AK2H12

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Under CCSv8, the properties -> rename renames the project;  this is good.

I need to rename the directory in which the project occurs.  The CCS rename does not change the directory name in the workspace.

If I rename the directory (under windows), CCS can no longer deal with or re-open the project.

How does one rename the project AND the directory in which it resides?

Thank you.

    Hi Tim,
    renaming the project from the context menu of the project in Project Explorer should rename the project and the project folder if the project was created using the "use default location" in the new project wizard (which would create a project inside a project folder of the same name inside your workspace folder). If a custom location was specified, then the rename would not modify the parent folder name. I assume your project uses a custom location?

    Thanks

    Thanks, ki. Yes, the project is in a different workspace. I had a ccsv7 workspace but recently updated to ccsv8. I wanted to import the project from the ccsv7 workspace, which I did, but CCSv8 continued to let the project reside in the older workspace. I would still like to rename this and move it to the new workspace (not necessarily in that order), preserving all of the special link and build options. Is there a recommended way to do this? Thanks.

    Try importing the project into the new workspace first using the "Copy project into workspace" option. Once the project has been imported into the new workspace, you should be able to rename it in the Project Explorer and that would also rename the project folder in the file system.

    Thanks
