reusable settings file to configure include paths

Post by Ridgeglider »

I often modify the include paths for a project under Properties, Tool Settings, GNU C++ Compiler, Directories. I ususually apply the same changes to most projects. I remember Forrest posting that in this NB release (or maybe the previous) it would be possible to retain these settings in some kind of a reusable settings file that could be reloaded to configure new projects. Can someone explain how this is done?

Thanks

Under rel2.3 forward, you can modify your platform properties file. This file contains many of the options that vary per platform. Have a look at c:\nburn\[platform]\PROPERTIES. Modifying this file will affect all nbeclipse projects for that platform. Once you see this file, modifying it should be fairly self explanatory.

Once you make changes to this file, you will need to reload the platform properties file in all existing nbeclipse projects (changes are applied automatically to new project created). To do this, right click on project->properties->NetBurner Options and click reload platform properties file.
