Project Creation & Add Files

chrismac:
Before I report a bug, I wonder if anyone else has experienced Project->Add files not opening a files dialog ? I'm on Windows 8.1, 64bit, using the latest CodeBlocks 16.01 and a simple C file. Once installed, the project add files dialog worked for a bit, then refused to open later on. I tried rebooting the computer to no avail. Later exiting and restarting CodeBlocks IDE also didn't help. I couldn't create new project/s either - so i temporarily copied and modified a previous project XML file to create a new project. After all this, I tried opening two projects, which worked, and from then on i could add files to a project again - for the time being any way. Anyone seen this before ?

Jenna:
Such weird behaviour might be caused by antivirus-software.
Some av-tools really do not work good with compilers/ide's, that create and alter executables.

chrismac:
Ok, for the record I'm using Eset AV & Firewall 8.0.319.0 , which hasn't given any trouble before. It's odd that Eset would stop interfering with Project->Add files after opening 2 projects (and closing the second), though you never can tell.

chrismac:
What seems to be happening is that, though I've used File->New->Project to create a new project, it really only creates a new empty C source file, (using Console only mode), and the project itself isn't created; so therefore I can't add files to a non-existent project. Is this a bug or am i just a newbie to the CodeBlocks IDE ? If I limit a new project to File->New->Projects->Console application, then Build targets->Console selection in the Wizard, and not Files->C/C++ source , then I get the Dialog You need to open (or create) a project first. Which is what I was trying to do, rather than creating a new C file only, which is what normally happens. How do I create a new Project , to which I can later Add C Files ?

Pecan:
Where (which folder) are you telling CB to store these new projects?

I've experienced disappearing files when attempting to store them in folder "Program Files" and the root folder. My anti-virus (or Windows 10) silently removed them.
