5.4.7 Changing the Project name
To change a project name in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view, follow the procedure described below.
(1) Select a project whose name you want to change by clicking on it in the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
(2) Perform one of the following operations.
• Select [Rename...] from the [File] menu.
• Select [Rename] from the context menu for the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigator] view.
(3) The project name in the view will be placed in editing mode. Enter a new name and press the [Enter] key.
This operation is reflected in the file system.
Changing a project name also changes the project directory name as well as the following:
• Command file name (<project name>_gnu17IDE.cmd)
The previous file <old project name>_gnu17IDE.cmd file is not deleted.
• The names of the files in the project listed below (changed the next time you build)
- Executable format object file (<project name>.elf)
- Makefile (<project name>_gnu17IDE.mak)*
- Linker script file (<project name>_gnu17IDE.lds)*
- Parameter file (<project name>_gnu17IDE.par)*
* These files are deleted when you change a project name, and are newly generated the next time you build.
The elf file already generated is not deleted and remains intact with its previous name.
• Debugger startup settings
The contents set in the [External Tools Configurations] dialog box are changed according to a new project name.
notes: • Only single-byte alphanumeric characters and underscores can be used in a project name.
Keep in mind that including any other characters or symbols in a project name will result in an
error when you perform a build or other operation.
• When the project name is changed, the iDE generates a new command file using the template
without copying the contents of the previous command file. Therefore, copy the contents of the
<old project name>_gnu17IDE.cmd and paste them in to the [Properties] > [GNU17 GDB
Commands] page as necessary.
• To place a copy of the original project in the same workspace, please paste the project first
and then rename it.
Example: To place Project and Project2 in the same workspace
1. Copy project "Project".
2. Paste the project with the name "projectTemp."
3. Rename "projectTemp" to "Project2."
This procedure lets you place an original project "Project" and a new project "Project2" in the
same workspace.
• Note that the automatic change of project settings described above will not occur if a project is
copied and pasted using the [C/C++ Projects] or [Navigation] view menu.
