Hi Friedrich

Just a quick suggestion which probably doesnt crop up that often but I'll
mention it anyway.<g>

When a SB5 project is being moved onto different machines, say from another
development company or just onto a new development PC it would be handy if a
Find and Replace could change the File Properties, Source Folder (File
Linking tab) becuase sometimes the location of the files (app and dlls) is
different well.

It could also be handy for reusing complex SB5 projects where the only
things to change are the files to be installed and the shortcut details.

Cheers

Richard

PS This is a repost as I couldnt see the original pop up in here.

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your suggestion.

But it's already there <g>. You can use Project | Convert Source File
Paths.

You can even use Compiler Variables if you are working in teams or if you
have different machines. Just define a "target variable" and you only have
to change one variable value to point to the correct source file paths.

For example, see "Compiler Variables Best Practices" in the manual.

Does this help?
