CCS/CCSTUDIO: How can I see the absolute path of the source file that I edit in CCStudio IDE?

How to enable full file path to be visible when editing source code in IDE?

I believe that this is a must, especially because the ambiguity caused by the multiple project folder variables that you have in code composer:

ORIGINAL_PROJECT_ROOT

PARENT_LOC

PROJECT_LOC

WORKSPACE_LOC

origin_value In .ccsproject

At least, it would be a normal to introduce 'save as' with the full path! It seems as a basic requirement for any editor.

I already managed to save source file into completely wrong folder, that was used for one of the predecessor projects.

Again, my question is: what to set to see the absolute path of the edited source file?

Sincerely,

Vlad,

To find the absolute path of an existing file, right-click on a source file in the Project Explorer view, select Properties and then select the option "Resource" on the tree. The file will have two fields: a "Location" and a "Resolved Location" - the latter will contain the full path where the variable was resolved.

Indeed, the "Save As" option in Eclipse does not allow saving to an arbitrary location in the Filesystem. However, you can use the Project Explorer as a simple File Manager. If you right-click on a source file and select "Copy", you can paste it anywhere else.

Hope this helps,
Rafael
