project file in a different directory

[thedixon]

I have a need to have a project file in a different directory from source files.

eg:

project_dir/<some directory structure>/source files

some_other_dir/project.vcxproj

Problem is setting up synchronization(I’m using “copy files to remote machine”).

I can uncheck “use project directory” and enter $(ProjectDir)\..\project_dir     in the “local directory” field. But if I want to select only some subdirectories under project_dir to sync – I can’t. “select directories” button in the “include selected subdirectores only” is showing me only “some_other_dir” with no way to change it to project_dir and select from a proper place

It’s actually ignoring $(ProjectDir)\..\project_dir     in the “local directory” completely, and is still syncing from some_other_dir. Please advise.

Hi,

Sorry, we tried reproducing it and could not get the problem to appear. Could you try reproducing it on a smaller project that you could archive and send to us?
