Project Copy
Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page
This utility will copy the currently select project in VO to a new directory. Doing this will reduce the overall size of the project and possibly reduce the size of the internal atom table (_sysAtom.vo) that VO uses. If you want, you can have the code in the new project automatically compiled and any EXEs/DLLs generated.

In the VO repository explorer select the project that you want to copy. Choose "Project Copy" from the More VO Productivity Pack menu accessible from the VO Tools menu, VOPP tray icon menu, or press Ctrl-Alt-R. You will be prompted for a directory to create the new project. Then you are asked if you want the code in the new project compiled. If you do, you will be asked if you want any EXEs/DLLs generated.

Project Copy automatically performs these steps:
n export of code from the current project
n creation of the new project
n import of the code
n optional compilation
n optional EXE/DLL generation

If there are problems with your original project, such as repository corruption, performing a copy may not correct the problem.
