xojo_project locate files (version control)

General
1

Ok All i’ve probably found a simple bug that shows the "Locate folder… " dialog when items seem to be missing on a mac but misleads the xojo user.

When i get this dialog "Locate folder … " i just select the main folder where the whole project is every time this is asked.
Xojo accepts the base folder (where the myprojectname.xojo_project exists) to find all the items. Why is Xojo asking for me to search while it is enough for me to just keep selecting the base (parent folder) every time and it seems to find all the missing items by itself?

Is it just a bug showing the "Locate item… " or is this something that (probably) only works on mac?

  • Tested on mac latest osx.

It does its very best to locate items
If you keep selecting a directory it will look in that directory because a directory isnt usually the item its looking for
It just doesn’t reuse that choice from one dialog to the next because of how project loading works for text projects
I think there’s an FR for it to do that
