Naming Your New Project

After choosing File > New and selecting an item in the Project tab of the New window, enter a name for the new project in the Project name field (Figure 3.6).
TIP
You should complete the name of the project file with a .mcp file-name extension, like this: MyProject.mcp. This naming convention helps you quickly identify the file as a Metrowerks CodeWarrior Project. Furthermore, the Windows-hosted version of the CodeWarrior IDE uses this extension to properly recognize the project file.
The Location field (Figure 3.6) shows the full path to the folder in which the project is saved. To change the current path, enter a new path directly into the field.
Alternatively, click the Set button to display a dialog box. Use the dialog box to navigate to the location in which you want to save the project. Enable the Create Folder checkbox if you wish to create a new folder to contain the project file and all of its associated files. Then click Save to confirm the location and return to the New window.
After entering a name for the new project and specifying a location in which to save that project, click OK in the New window. The New Project dialog box appears.
WARNING!
If you try to save the new project, and you already have an existing project with the same name in the same location, an error message appears. Be sure to use a unique name for your new project.
