How can I see where my workspace is stored

Hello!

When I set up CCS on my computer, I probably chose a sensible place for my workspace to be located on my hard disk.

It's been some time since then...

Now, I want to click on a dialogue box or similar, that will reveal to me where on my hard disk, the workspace is located.

Any ideas?  I've tried a few things, and only so far managed to convince myself that it's not possible...

  • Since CCS is based on Eclipse, I did a Google search on how to see the current workspace in Eclipse. The simplest method was to click File -> Switch Workspace -> Other... which shows the current Workspace path.

    The other way would I could think of would be to open Project -> Properties -> Resource -> Linked Resources and find the "WORKSPACE_LOC" in the "Path Variables" tab.

  • Thanks Seth, I could use both those methods.  The workspace is located in my C:\Users\myname\workspace_v10 folder, both for projects that are actually located here with all their source files etc, and curiously also for those projects that have all the source files located in other places.

    I had occasion to create a new project today, and while entering the project name, I missed the opportunity to indicate where I wanted the files to be stored.  Thus, when I realised my mistake, I could not find them (but now can, in the Workspace folder as you showed).  Actually, the New CCS Project dialogue does not offer any method to chose the specific location in which to create the project, so I'm not sure how I managed to change the location for the other ones.  Probably just moved the folder and hoped for the best - such moves often break some link or other!
