Hi all,
I am noticing that for some time on the latest versions of Xojo under Mac that there seems to be some interesting stuff happening with folder names.
In my project say have a folder “Network”. Within that folder I have a sub folder called “Manager” and the network manager class is in that folder.
Now from an older project, I drag over a “Manager” folder that contains say a database manager class. I drag it into a folder on the project called “Database”.
I would expect that the folders stay named as they were since there were no conflicts. But I am finding that sometimes the recently drug over Manager folder gets named “Manager1” as if Xojo thought there might be a conflict.
I am also noticing that if I have a folder like Network->Manager1 and that folder has code in it and I rename that sub folder to say “Manager” that I end up with an “obsolete” folder. See this image:
While I get that Xojo seems to be trying to preserve data and folders this becomes quite confusing as in the image above I have NetworkManagerClass in two folders. Which one is active? and the obsolete folder in this case has nothing in it, but I have had others that had code in them.
Is there some docs somewhere that describe this behavior and how to manage it?
