[Gambas-devel] Project feature request to follow symbolic links and allow to edit/save them.

[Ron]

Hi Benoit,

what exactly do you mean by 'owned by the project'?

The symbolic links show up in project tree, see attachment and it can
run the project fine.
So yeah the project knows and uses the files already.
Why not have the option to edit them.

I don't want to be able to edit them at the same time from two ide's.
But you have the same issue if you changes files with vi and/or sed
'under water' now.
You have to refresh the project.

Regards,
Ron.
