Now that IDL 7.0 has been released and installed on my PC, I'd like
some discussion of a question that's been bugging me since I first
tried out the previews: what can a curmudgeon like me actually use all
this project & workspace stuff for?
I never did come to terms with IDL projects, on the theory that if I
ignored them they might go away. (And they did!) I have all the IDL
code I've written in the last 14 years organised (using the word
loosely) in a single directory tree that contains 7196 files totalling
60.1 MB in 203 subdirectories, nested a few deep. There is a sort of a
pattern to these subdirectories: some of them are specific to a
particular work project, some are routines for general consumption.
The routines are pretty promiscuous about calling each other, so
pulling out a specific routine and resolving all its dependencies is
not easy (and why should it be, as I never do it?).
I now have a directory called IDLWorkspace/Default with just one file
in it called .project. I have my existing directory tree elsewhere and
I have modified my !PATH to point to it. What should I do now? Ignore
the new projects and workspaces and hope they go away?
