IA project located on mapped drive

Post by jweksej »

Hi,
My IA project is located on network mapped drive.
project.mpr file starts with line:
MainScript.mia
When I load the project to IDE and save it, then first line is extended to:
\\[hostName]\[fullPath]\MainScript.mia
The same is with files where relative path is used. Example:
..\CommonScripts\InitGlobals.mia
is replaced to:
\[hostName]\[fullPath]\CommonScripts\InitGlobals.mia

Can I configure IA to block this behavior?

This 'feature' is from always, in ver 9 too

regards

Is this renaming causing problems?

I don't think there's a way around this, at the very least I have added this as a feature request.

yes, it makes problems because I would like to have projects in repository without paths to specific machines.
I'm porting now several projects from IA8 to IA9 and until I will port and test all, I'm operating on two machines but with one repository.
As workaround I do filtering project file with string exchange tool.
