Description soldatov 2008-05-12 20:52:59 UTC

Many time ago I created issue 79466 (When "C/C++ Project with Existing Makefile" project is closing, then source files
should be closed automatically). It has been closed as 'WONTFIX', but now that problem is resolved. When I am closing
makefile based project, then IDE closes almost all files. But IDE ignores files which I added via 'Add Existing Item...'
wizard. Can IDE close such files automatically also?

Scenario:
- Create /home/sova/test/test.c file
- In NetBeans create new C/C++ project in /home/sova/NetBeansProjects folder
- Add /home/sova/test/test.c file via 'Add Existing Item...' wizard
- Open this file in built-in editor
- Close project
==> 'test.c' file is opened

Workaround:
Need to add /home/sova/test folder into 'General|Source Folders' table in 'Project Properties' window

This issue was actually fixed when we moved unmanaged projects to 'true source roots'. You manage files in the project by adding or removing source folders 
from General|Source Folders and the Add Existing Item... action doesn't exist anymore.
