If I use 'Save Project As', what I am expecting is that the IDE will save the project under a new name - so that 'Project1.mcpav' that I'm working, which includes T1.c and T2.c would be saved under a new name 'Project2.mcpav' and optionally let me rename each of the included .c files. No other files would be needed (to be copied) for the new project. (I find this while trying to create small parts of my major file to simply duplicate problems I list here in the forum).
What HAPPENS, is the IDE goes to the new directory that I specify in the 'Save As' window and copies
*EVERYTHING* that
EXISTS in the original directory to the new directory and does NOT rename the .mcpav file. When I say EVERYTHING, I mean ALL project associated files - including all output files from the compiler and ALL subdirectories that I might have created in the past (like a backup dir) no matter whether they are related to the project or not. I could fill up a harddrive pretty fast that way
. If I don't change directories, then the IDE creates new files with the same name - calling them 'copy of..filename'. It also loads any source files created back into the IDE along with the original files, but if 'copy of' was added to the filename, it is NOT reflected on the IDE tab - I have no way of knowing which is the new/old files. It becomes a big mess quickly. I also have to go CLOSE PROJECT and go outside the IDE (Win Explorer) to rename all the files that I want and then delete all the other files.
This points out another small issue - we need an explanation of all those files created by the IDE as to what they do. Most are obvious, but some like '.dct' and '.user.dic' are not so.
Now - on to the bp problem.
I'll show code at the bottom of this message. (still a bit of junk left from full project)
Create new project and include code shown below.
Compile
Set BP on line 111. (PORTL0 = 0 ; )
Hit F9 .. then F6 - note code stops on Line 111.
Hit Ctrl F2 to kill debugger
Use editor to insert 2 blank lines above 111 - BP now shows in editor as being on line 113.
Hit F9 ... F6
Editor stops on (blank) line 111 - where the BP USED to be.
Hit Ctrl F2.. stop debugger ... then Ctrl F9 to recompile. (BP still showing on Line 113).
Hit F9 .. F6
WHERE DID DEBUGGER GO?? (on edit - I think it's running that 50000 count loop now) Watch window shows cycles and time passing, but no idea where or what debugger is doing ... (this will go on a LONG time - no idea if it will EVER stop).
Hit Ctrl F2 to kill debugger.
Click on line 113 'x' to delete BP on that line (note that BP gone from editor, but menu icon for 'Delete all Breakpoints' is still active. Note - if you 'show all BP' you will see BP's listed for both lines 111 and 113 - and NO BP's showing in editor.)
Hit Ctrl F2 again - no change
Hit Ctrl F9 (note that 'green arrow' is still showing in editor at line 113.
Hit F9... F6 - debugger goes off to see wizard again...
Hit Ctrl F2 then ... Oops - somewhere along the way, green arrow moved to line 115 (I think I moved the line CURSOR to there on last iteration).
Now, 'Delete all BP's' is grayed out, but 'Show All BP's still shows BP's on lines 111 and 113.... and suddenly 'Delete All BP's' is active again.
Hit Delete All BP's - show all window clears.
Hit Ctrl F9 (green arrow is still showing on line 115 - recompile for good measure)
Hit F9... F6.
Program now running in debugger with no BP's. Click to activate BP on line 113 again and debugger stops where it should.
Kill BP and
*NOW* debugger is ready to run again with a new BP.
