[DUG] D2006/D2007 Source File locations

[John Bird]

This one puzzled me - when I migrated to D2007 I copied all my source to a
new folder (effectively leaving the D2006 stuff as is in its folder).
 
So first thing I did on opening a project in D2007 was to go into options
(CTRL+SHIFT+F11) Directories/Conditionals and change the Unit output folder
to the new D2007 folder.
 
*However*  This is not enough as I found when I noticed all the pas files
are still being saved back in the original D2006 folder - I then tried
saving the project anew into the D2007 folder.  That is also not enough.
The helpful hint on the unit tab shows the old path still being used for the
unit....
 
In the end I had to manually edit the .DSK file and change the paths for all
the units to the new folder.  Now that seems to have worked.
 
Does this mean that D2006/D2007 do not expect you to ever move source to a
new folder - what is the relation between the location of the project file,
the unit output file and the paths in the .DSK file (I sort of assumed these
were got from the first two...)
