#1661 templates not working properly after 13855

[OktayO]

Hi everyone,
On windows 10 or 11.
Last working release was SVN 13855, since then the issue persists.

I'm having an issue with custom project templates in Code::Blocks. This happens with language types (C, C++, and ASM).
When creating a new project from a saved user template, Code::Blocks creates folders instead of the actual source files (e.g., a folder named main.cpp or main.asm).
Because of this, it throws an error message saying that not all files could be copied.
I have attached two screenshots showing the issue and the error message.
Is this a known bug, and how can I fix this so templates save and extract files correctly?

I have postet this in the forum but no reply yet:

Thanks for your help!

Can confirm this. Happened while trying to save a user template created on 25.03 on a nightly rev 14050 (launched via CBLauncher).
Don't know why this happens but i can confirm it.

This is due to _T() removal, adding a char to a const char* does not concatenate them and wxFILE_SEP_PATH is a char. This affects other parts of the program still undetected.

All instances should be fixed in [r14057].

Thanks!
One question: Does this mean that we should add wxString to every string and not leave it as "" anymore? i thought via work logged in commits that _T() was removed and only "" was left

thank you very much.
When will we be able to download the latest compiled nightly version?

The removal was mostly valid, but expression like 'X'+"text" will not evaluate as "Xtest", they need to be changed to 'X'+_T("test") or 'X'+wxString("test").
