Hi all,

I migrated a project from VDSP to CCES and now need to add 2 files with source code.

The project structure after that is

+ MyProj

    + MyProj (created by import wizard)

     <all source and header files, etc>

I would like the new files to be in the same folder as the already existing files (and not in the subdirectory created by the import wizard).

I didn't find the right way to do it at first and ended up using "import" -> "file system" which seems to work in principle, but puts the files in the subfolder created by the VDSP import wizard (which contains the system folder).

Manually copying the files in the desired folder and initiating a "Refresh" of the Project Explorer did not work.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Best regards,

Rainer
