Description dnikitin 2006-05-12 12:55:18 UTC 
Physical renaming of files has no effect at a logic level

1. Create any C/C++ sample project
2. Select Files tab
3. Right-click any source file and rename it. (e.g. args.c --> argsNew.c)
4. Select Projects tab.
 There is argsNew.c on Projects tab
5. REFRESH Source Folder !!!  args.c (not argsNew.c) on Projects tab as before

-----
The same effect has Delete command: 
  Delete file on Files tab
  This file is still on Projects tab
Comment 1 Thomas Preisler 2006-10-13 20:17:09 UTC 
Fixed. Renaming a file in the Files tab will also rename the file in the
projects tab.

Delete has a different semantic. It should be possible to delete a file from
disk without also deleting it from the project. It is an inmportant feature in
the project system that you can add none existing files to a project and
configure them. These files are usually generated (lex/yacc) so they may or may
not exist. Check the LexYacc sample to see such an example.

If you move the file in "Files" tab there no effect in "Projects" tab
And the whole project becomes uncompilable.
