Description Dave 2000-06-29 22:48:19 UTC 
Project files are placed under Forte4J/system/projects.

This makes it awkward to save them in a source code control system along with
the regular source files. Would be nice if you could save these files in the
root of your filesystem.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2000-08-23 16:23:59 UTC 
Sandwich project implementation, when it matures, should make it possible to
store project files elsewhere, incl. under VC. Cannot be fixed in the shorter
term.
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2002-01-10 14:51:25 UTC 
It doesn't seem to be resolved by sandwich filesystem. Is it going to
be possible in new project implementation? If so, please, set target
milestone, otherwise resolve as closed.
Comment 3 Vitezslav Stejskal 2002-01-10 15:12:49 UTC 
Yes, this definitely must be solved. Reopening, P1, 4.0.
Comment 4 Vitezslav Stejskal 2003-01-02 11:54:52 UTC 
This is solved by new projects system (Nb 4.0), check out the
preliminary version from:
