.dev files overwites other project files

[bitshadow]

Hi all
I'm trying to create two .dev projects in the same directory and i notice devc++ is overiting my exisitng .dev project. i know i've had two projects in the same directory before. how do i circumvent this. each project has a unique filename.
thanks

Uh... give it a different name?

Even with different names however, one problem perhaps is that Dev-C++ creates a makefile called makefile.win to build the project, and when you build one it will overwrite the makefile of another. It will not overwrite a .dev file of a different name however. The consequence of this is probably that you will have to to a rebuild-all when switching projects to force makefile.win to get regenerated with correct dependencies.

I strongly suggest however that you simply don't put two projects in one folder. Why would you need to do that in any case? I ask because whatever you think you need to do that for, there is probably a better way.

... sorry, you did say it already had a different name.
