CCS: Converting Virtual Folders to local folders?

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi Devs,

Probably an easy question to which I haven't been able to get an answer for.

The problem I am facing is when I change code to an imported Ti project. EG, from BLE stack:

When I modify code I also modify the source code which may be used in other projects. I also cant add a new file under the virtual folder.

Is there a way to convert folders to non-virtual folders? Or import the project not be virtual?

Regards

    This is because the files inside the virtual folders are linked files, that actually reside somewhere within the BLE SDK folder structure. So making a change to those files will impact other projects that also link in the same files.

    There isn't a way to convert the virtual folder to non-virtual folders. If your goal is to make changes to the BLE SDK example projects, the best way would be to make a copy of the entire SDK folder and import and modify projects from the copied folder instead of the original.
