Description klosels 2006-03-16 13:25:08 UTC 
My c++ project contains several components with separate source dirs. The
source dirs themselves all have the same name though. In NB they cannot
be distinguished without looking at the contents or the tooltip for the
folder. Renaming renames the physical folder. It would be nice to be
able to assign a "logical" name independently of the real folder name.

Sounds reasonable.
Comment 2 Thomas Preisler 2007-05-24 01:08:52 UTC 
I may have misunderstood the issue. If you are talking about CND projects, all
folders in project view are logical folders and you can rename them without
renamng the physical folders. Isn't that what you want?
Comment 3 klosels 2007-05-24 23:17:25 UTC 
Correct, this is what I wanted. Back when I reported this issue, there was no
way of renaming a project folder without renaming the physical folder. I didn't
have a chance to try recent versions, so this may well be solved now.
