Having successfully exported an 8-bit project to a new workspace I now want to change the name of the project. Google suggests the following:-

To rename a CodeWarrior project, the safest method is to
copy the project folder, rename the copied folder and its 'mcp file, delete the Data folder inside, then open the renamed mcp file in CodeWarrior and use Project > Reset Project Entry Paths and Project > Re-search for Files to update paths, which prevents errors with file locations. 

 

One problem:- Where is the .mcp file? I have searched for it and found nothing.

Hello,

Could you help us confirm which CodeWarrior version are you using?

In recent version of Code Warrior, the mcp file is not used.

 

In older version of Code warrior, you could check the mcp file in the directory: Workspace>Project> "MCU-used name" folder.

 

Could you help us confirm which 8-bit device is your project using?

For using the latest and recommended version of Code Warrior 11.1, I use these instructions for testing changing name of a project for MC9S08QE8 [8Bits device]
