Changing the type of folder [message #227258]

Hi,

IS it possible to change the type of a folder from forder to source
folder? If a folder is not a sourcefolder I cannot generate a class in it?

TIA

File->New->Source folder and give it the name of an existing folder.

That seems to work, but now I have 2 folders with the same name and
content in my project...

Strange. Is that by design?

I could get the second (new) one to get away by excluding it from the build.

hmm, not sure if I got you right, but all source folders are listed in the
properties of a project. Open the project properties, browse to the "c/c++
general" / "paths and symbols" section. select the "source location" tab
page, there you'll find all source folders of your project. By clicking on
"add folder", you can select an existing, non-source folder from your
project and transform it to a source folder (the). Hope this helps!

It did: now the source folders are source folder again. Thanks
