Ok… I created a project that had 3 major sections
- a window with some controls
- a custom class
- a module containing test cases
The custom classs and module where made external as I needed to share them with a console project.
Today I loaded up the project, made some changes, saved the project, tested it, made more changes, saved it etc.
Then I noticed when I looked in finder… the time/date stamps for the external components had NOT changed and the IDE only gave me the option to “Make Internal” (as they were already “external”)
So… I thought “Ok, there is a bug, so I will make it internal, then external again, and that will take care of it”
WRONG. when I said “make internal”… all of a sudden I had code that was saved yesterday…
Luckily, I was able to “Undo Make Internal” and it reverted back to my current up to date code.
The question is… HOW DO I FORCE IT TO SAVE the EXTERNALS, I have searched the drive to see if it put them someplace else, but the ONLY Xojo file with todays timestamp is the “.xojo_xml_project” file … that contains the “window/controls”,
If I examine the project file with a text editor… I can see the FULLPATH to the External Code…
But those files are a day old
So right now I have all the right code sitting in the IDE, but cannot figure out how to save it
HELP!!!
and yes I have a license, so Binary/XML formats are available to me…
