Hi,
I've had this problem for a long time and am looking for a solution. I often find that it's easier to copy an existing project to another folder then edit for a new project. As far as I can tell, CVI has no way to copy a project. So what I end up doing is manually editing the .cws and .prj files so that the new paths are correct, then opening CVI.
Recently a client sent me the project they were working on. Editing the .prj has been completely unsuccessful. For some reason, CVI sees the source files but is clueless as to the project configurations. It opens an Untitled project with no files. I tried adding the files, but then I get compile errors (when my client does not).
Of course NI will help me fix my problem, but the bigger issue is I think there should be a more automated way to copy projects, and/or zip them up, ship them off, and have them build on a different system without having to manually edit .cws and .prj files.
Yuck!
BTW, NI used to have a suggestion link. What happened to that?
