Delphi Project Copying....

[ranpak1]

Greetings Delphi Fans....

I use Delphi 2010 ... However, how do I copy a project (all the files of the project) to an entirely new folder, then work in that new folder with the copy of project files, and not affect the origin project? .... Do I need to edit directory info inside of the files within the new copy? ... Is there not a easy way? ....

Thanks in advance guys! ....

What are you looking for, version control system???

http://subversion.apache.org/ (or for windows http://www.visualsvn.com/server/)
This in combination with a client (for example http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) should do the trick

Thank you....
Here at RANPAK CORP, our new CEO says more:
"collegiality/civility" so I am trying!

I found a method that works....
1. Create new project folder
2. "New -> VCL Forms Application - Delphi" and save as "NewProj" in new folder......
3. Within new folder, change and replace "NewProj.dfm" with "OldProj.dfm"
4. Change and replace "NewProj.pas" with "OldProj.pas"
5. Copy files as needed from old project folder....
6. Run Delphi, within "Code", change "unit OldProjName" to "unit NewProjName" ....

These steps seem to work in creating a new PROJECT in a new FOLDER, without disturbing the "OldProject" .....

Again thank you for this forum and help...........

But why the need of copy?
If it's in a version control system anybody can reach it, you can branch and many more things. And if you don't like your code just reverse
