Title: Suggestion
Post by: Tyrone Lee on May 12, 2008, 09:07:45 AM
When you save your project files you should save the files in relative path locations to the .prj file. This will make the project portable. When I try to take my work with me, I have to edit the files in notepad and fix any drive references.

Just a suggestion..

Hi Tye,

Yes, that has been an aissue right from Version 1. Relative paths are in FireFly in many, many, places and sometimes it causes problems. In Version 3, there are somewhat "hardcoded" places where certain objects must be placed. This is similar to the approach that other visual designers such as Visual Studio use. In FireFly 3, there are dedicated sub-folders for Images, Modules, Forms and Release code (i.e. code generation and resulting EXE). I have found that since changing to this format that it makes porting a project to another computer much easier.
