Hello, I keep getting this message about creating a folder and copying.
How do I keep the file where it is and modify it? It is on a network drive.
I know this worked fine in IDE 1.X, though I have not been back on ardunio in 8 years.
Thanks,
Adam
Does that folder appear on the network drive? I get a similar message if it is not there on my Linux System. If the folder is on the network it uses it. I am using 1.8.18. I just loaded the later version and in a quick test it appears to work but that was only a few seconds I never finished the compile as the libraries were not there.
Is the .ino file in the mentioned directory?
A sketch is a directory (not a file); in that directory needs to be a file with the same name as the sketch directory and that is the file that can be opened.
If you have a sketch with multiple .ino files in the sketch directory, you can only open the sketch in the IDE by opening the .ino file with the same name as the sketch directory. Trying to open another .ino file in the IDE will fail with your error message.
If you do not have the correct structure (e.g. you copied aa.ino to a directory called backup), you can not open it with the IDE (and hence the message.
I see, I did not realized the directory the .ino file was contained in would make a difference. Ah well, I'll work around that.
Thanks.
