I was working with revision 1480 while I noticed some problems:
- I imported a msvc7 workspace with one project. I did not make any changes to the project or one of its source-files. Then I closed the project with 'File->Close project'. Code::Blocks asked me if I want to save my changes to the project. I said no. Then I opened a standard-Code::Blocks project (in fact, it was Code::Blocks itself.) and looked at some source files. I did not change anything but when I closed Code::Blocks it asked me if I want to save the changes I made to the project which I imported at first - the project that I already had closed! I could not check if this only happens when importing a project from msvc7 because:
- When I open a Code::Blocks project (using the recent projects listet on the start here page) and then immediately close it with 'File->Close project' Code::Blocks shows the start-here-page again and freezes. It does not consume more CPU than usual it simply doens't respond to any action. This only happend after I closes a Code::Blocks-project, not the one which I imported from msvc7.
- The msvc7 project I imported has its source files distributed to multiple sub-directories. The file-names are stored in the msvc7 projectfile like this: ".\src\foo.cpp" ".\include\bar.h" etc. Notice the ".\" before the actual directory! (No idea why msvc7 stores this information - but it does.) Code::Blocks opens this project file correctly and you can also open the source files when you click at them in the project explorer. But as Code::Blocks displays the directories in the project explorer, too, it also displays the ".\" as additional directory. Thus the structure looked like this:
Sources
-> .
-> src
-> foo.cpp
-> .
-> include
-> bar.h
This is absolutely correct but not necessary and rather confusing. I wrote (and attached to this post) a little patch to remove ".\" from the file names while importing source files from msvc7 projects. I think it should be applied to the repository.
