Refer to Synchronized Projects User Guide for basic information. The user-call recording includes a live demonstration of how to setup and configure a synchronized project.

Known Issues

• There are no wizards to convert existing projects to synchronized projects. A fix is planned for version 5.0.2.
• Errors occur during synchronization if the project contains files with odd characters, such as parentheses. (Files with spaces should work fine.)
• There are some potential pitfalls when configuring projects
  • Users should avoid changing configurations inside the new project wizard, as this will cause errors. Instead, add and change configurations after project creation.
  • The Workspace configuration only appears after the project is created.
  • The tool chain selected during creation is used for both the local machine and remote machine. Users need to adjust this after project creation.
  • For remote configurations, only the "Sync Builder" works, although other options are available (Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Tool Chain Editor). The "Sync Builder" is set as the default.
  • Attempting to change multiple configurations does not work correctly.

Change Log

Version 5.0.1

• Use separate Git directory (.ptp-sync instead of .git) for sync'ing so that it does not interfere with user's Git repository.
• Sync empty directories
• Prevent users from modifying the synchronization properties of the Workspace configuration
• Fix bug 349372: Build fails if empty environment variables are present
• Support managed project types
• Add Fortran synchronization wizard
• Do not sync if only a file's markers have changed (prevents sync'ing during file editing if code analysis is turned on).
