Hi...
I have have a project, and i want to use it as the base/template for a new project...
Where is the "Save Project As" in the project menu ?
Also if you want to rename a project, you could use the "Save as New Project" if there was such a menu item
thanks Ray
There isn't one - this is one of the long-standing deficiencies of the uVision Project Manager.
:-(
See: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread14928.asp
You would have to copy the .uv2 file (and, optionally, .opt), and then modify from there...
While we're here, another really annoying feature is that there is no way to abandon changes to a Project; ie, you cannot exit uVision without changes to the project being saved.
... I do not used IDE's
with commandline based makefiles, you can do anything you want exctly as you want it.
I have never understood the fascination with IDE's what is the big trouble with having editor, makefile and emulator as 3 entries on the taskbar.
Every IDE I have tried (quite a few) have suffered from the Gatesian Philosophy "we know better than you what you want".
Another shortcoming of the IDEs I have tried is that when the IDE is made by a company specializing in 'a', the part doing 'b' is lacking and can not be replaced by a better one.
My setup is CodeWright, commandfile driven Keil and whatever ICE fit the processor.

The .uv2 (and .opt) project files are just plain ASCII text - so you can edit them manually...
The structure isn't hard to work-out.
Entirely at your own risk, of course - as it says at the top of the file:
### uVision2 Project, (C) Keil Software ### Do not modify !
(seems a bit dubious whether Keil can really claim copyright to your project file...)
