Is there a way to change the path that those files are generated? By default it's generated in the same folder as the .dproj file.

I would like to change:

  • .cfg
  • .dof
  • .identcache
  • .res
  • .stat
  • .dproj.local
  • and if possible, but a little different, the unit backup files (~ddp, ~dfm and ~pas)

Currently using Delphi 10.3 Rio

    Not as far as I know. The compiler looks for them in the project folder, so the IDE puts them there. – Ken White Apr 10 '19 at 13:03
  • That's a bummer. All of those files could be hidden for a clearer workspace, since we don't directly change them – Rodolfo Donã Hosp Apr 10 '19 at 14:18

    @RodolfoDonãHosp: would be a nice Feature Request in Quality Portal. It would indeed be nice to get rid of these files in the project folder. – Rudy Velthuis Apr 10 '19 at 15:08
  • @RudyVelthuis Exactly, i get the purpose of them, but there's no need to mix them with files that you change all the time – Rodolfo Donã Hosp Apr 10 '19 at 17:24
  • If you get tangled by them in a git/svn repository, maybe a .gitignore file or svn:ignore property is a better idea. – Marcodor Apr 10 '19 at 20:41
  • @Marcodor: of course you can keep them out of a remote repository, but they still clutter the project directory. Would be nice if we could keep them out of sight. – Rudy Velthuis Apr 11 '19 at 06:10
  • We already use svn's ignore list, but locally, the files all mixed up with actually useful files (like the .dpr) is a pain – Rodolfo Donã Hosp Apr 11 '19 at 14:58
  • Just hide the files – David Heffernan Apr 13 '19 at 08:00
  • as mentioned before ... we just use a .gitignore or .svnignore and that way the files don't get into version control at least. Before that I used the Clean Directories tool form GExperts to get rid of that stuff, – Stefaan Apr 26 '19 at 10:35
