Organise my project folder

It's a terrible mess in my project folder (not in xcode, where all is clean, but on the desktop folder).

How can I organize this folder without killing all xcode references ? I just tried, but all the links broke.

Thanks,

What I'm used to do in this case is:

  1. Organize everything in my finder folders, don't mind the red missing files in xcode. If you are using svn, make sure you use its commands to do this.

  2. Then I go to each file in XCode marked red and redefine its Location using the right pane Utilities tab (xcode 4) or its file properties(cmd+i in xcode 3).

  3. Clean and build to make sure everything is OK.

To avoid this, I got used to organize my project each time I create a new file/folder. I first create the folder physically and then add it to xcode, later I create the files.

I don't know a simpler way of doing this.

Hope it helps,

I've been there myself :) You do need to remove and add back in the files that need organizing , but it can be safely done. Here's what I'd normally do;

  • Remove the files / folders you need to organize from within your XCode project (this is safe, you can add them back, no worries) ONLY DELETE THE REFERENCES when asked. Do NOT Trash them.
  • Close XCode
  • In your desktop folder, now arrange and organize your files and folders as needed.
  • Open up your XCode again, and open your project. Now, re-add your now well-organized files and folders back into the XCode project. Copy them into to your folder if you happen to be adding anything from outside the desktop folder.
  • Now, your project will be well organized both in and outside.
