Gideros Studio Project Files

I'm new to Gideros and I cant seem to figure out how to rename a project file in Gideros Studio.
I also can't have a file in two different folders with the same name.

Am I doing something wrong or are both of these issues just a limitation of the virtual file structure?

I'm really liking Gideros and would hate to give it up because of these issues.

Thanks!

  • @norman106, don't give up! :)

    Gideros' internal file structure is different from that on disk. This confused me when I started out too. If you want to rename a file, you have to:

    1. Remove the file in Gideros
    2. Rename the file on disk, outside Gideros
    3. Import the renamed file to Gideros

    Would like to find a better solution, actually.

    You should be able to have a two files with the same name in different folders. Maybe it doesn't work because the Gideros structure differs from the one on disk?

    You can create sub folders in gideros studio then add files there. EG level1\monsters.dat and level2\monsters.dat can be 2 different monsters.dat files.

    The other problem (that is in the github) is that when adding files you can add two files with the same name, but different source folders to the gideros root. The name checking could be the opposite way around to what it is (imho).
