Is it possible to change default "Add Files" location
« on: July 01, 2017, 04:03:19 am »
I'm working with a team on code that is kept in a shared git repository and I like to use CB for my work.  However, I do not want the CB metadata (Projects, Workspaces, layouts) and working folders (bin/ & obj/) to be included in the repo.  I know I can add git ignores for these, but I'm wondering if it is possible to change the default opening location for the 'Add Files' function?

Cheers,
Nap

To your direct question I have no idea.

What I do for converting non CB projects to CB projects is this.
1. Create CB Temp Project in the top project folder.
2. Add the files to the CB Temp Project
3. Use project save as to save the CB Project to where I want it to be.

CB Automatically adjusts the path to the source files during save as.

I normally use a folder called build under the top project folder.
