Refer to Synchronized Projects User Guide for basic information

Known Issues

  • Does not work well with projects that use Git for version control. Synchronization will use the same repository, littering it with automatic commits. A fix for this problem is slated for version 5.0.2.
  • 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.
