How to have to main ino file is inside a folder (Read 894 times)

	Hello. I'm trying to get my .ino file inside a folder so that when it syncs with github I have all files related to the code inside that specific folder. But if I do that, the Build and Upload button gets greyed out. If I move the .ino file to be in the root of the solution, I can Build and upload it again. Is this a bug or is there a way of doing this?

	The INO file must be in a folder of the same name, which is also where the project (VCXPROJ etc) are created. The Solution (SLN) file can be in a different folder, which can be set when creating a project from one of the templates. If a project contains an "src" folder next to the INO this will also be searched and any code found used, so you can have for example: MyProject\MyProject.ino MyProject\src\FurtherCode.ino MyProject\src\CustomCPlusPlus.h MyProject\src\CustomCPlusPlus.cpp The MyProject.ino could even be empty, and all code could be moved into the FurtherCode.ino file. Does this help at all or do you have a specific desired layout in mind?

	I see. Thank you for the clarification. Since my project has different types of files, I wanted to sync the project with GitHub and have the code part inside a "Code" folder, 3D parts inside a "3D" folder, etc. But I guess I can shuffle the files to their folders at the end. Thank you.
