How to list or remove files from a project
« on: October 09, 2014, 08:12:10 pm »
I added a bunch of files to a new project I created in codeblocks.
I find no interface to see the list of files.
When I go to Projects -> Remove Files, that also does nothing.
How can I list or remove files in a project?

Try pressing Shift-F2 or use the menu View -> Management
(most of the time I ignore long posts)

The management pane was open by default. It shows ALL folders and files, not just those specifically added to the project.
Also, no way yet to remove a file from a project

False.

Edit: To use CB requires you have a working mouse that can right click!

Are you looking at the projects tab in the management panel or the file manager?

To remove a file from the project just select it and hit the delete key or right click -> remove from project

Either I am extremely dense or I have some issue with my environment.
I am looking at the files list in the Management panel. If I select and right-click on a file, even one that is part of the project and getting compiled with it, it gives me the option to "Add to Active Project", but not "Remove from Project". It does have a delete option, but I don't want to delete the file completely -- just to remove it from the project.
Also, the Management panel lists all files in the folder, not just those that are explicitly added to the project.

What's the title of the active tab ?
If it is "Files" you are in the Filemanager's tab not in the projectmanager's !!
If that's the case click on the little triangle on the top-left of the management pane until you see the tab labelled "Projects".
