Pelles C 64-bit, V8.00 RC4. Project view window wrong behaviour.

[ClaudeQC]

Using Pelles C 64-bit, V8.00 RC4; when adding source files to the project, and that files is not in the default project directory, Pelles C show that files in the "External files" section of the project view window instead of showing them in the "Source files" section.

This wrong behaviour was not there with Pelles C 32-bit/64-bit, V7.00

This is annoying for projects where source files are put outside the tools default working directory.

Sigh.

Quoting myself from the change log:

Added new "External files" branch to project tree, for easier identification of files located outside the top-level project directory.

A feature not a bug. Certain things work much better if the source files are located in the project directory, or in a subdirectory below the project directory. This has always been the case, now it's just more visible.

Well, I work on my projects using an unusual way.  I put the source code in a dedicated directory ("src"), and tools stuff in other directories.  This way, I can create several tool projects (Pelles C 32-bit, Pelles C 64-bit, Cygwin, Visual Studio, etc.) without having any conflict, and keeping things clean.
Example:
   <project_directory>
          pellesc_32bit/
          pellesc_64bit/
          visual_studio/
          src/
 
Remark: Visual Studio can handle this kind of project structure gracefully.

Claude

Pelle I agree, but why include and source files are all mixed up?
And more important why I can't anymore exclude or delete files from 'external files?'
While debugging is a real nightmare ...
