Hi,

I'm using version 9.6.1 on a Mac and have just run into a new feature. Previously in older versions of Livecode selecting a file in the IDE standalone settings tab copy file/folder would allow a single file to be selected and this was copied to the folder that contained the built engine :

Now when I select a single file it is listed and stored under a folder with the same name as the folder that source file is stored in :

: Newfile location; Screenshot 2020-10-25 at 12.59.37.png (18.84 KiB) Viewed 2781 times

With this version of the IDE it is not possible to enter just a file name like this :

: Old copy files

as even when a single file is selected its parent folder name is displayed :

It seems I'm only allowed three screen shots per post .

So continuing from above:

This is probably a good idea as it allows files with the same name to be added to a project, but I wish I had read about the change before it tripped me up.

best wishes

Interesting. Is it mentioned in the release notes? This may have been placed earlier than the latest build of v.9.x.
