How to duplicate or rename a Driver Builder project

[Quali-Community]

A project in Driver Builder has a certain structure that needs to be preserved in order to be able to open the project (in the same machine or when copied to another machine).

Few things to make sure:

1. The project folder name and the project main file name (.tsdrvproj file) must have the same name - so if you copy/paste the folder to duplicate the project or just want to rename the project - make sure you update the project file name as well. If you'll rename the project from within Driver Builder - it will rename both the folder and the file for you.

Another option for the purpose of duplication is to export a project to a template (using the Export menu option) and then create a new project from it. If needed, you can copy the template file to other computers. The project templates are located under "C:\Program Files (x86)\QualiSystems\Driver Builder\Templates"

2. When you create folders inside the driver, it creates sub folders under the project folder. Each folder contains a hidden .manifest file, so when saving a project to a source control - make sure you save these files as well - otherwise, you won't be able to open the folders on a different machine that gets the project.
