removing processor expert stationary?

[irob]

Anyone know how to remove Processor Expert stationary? I started using a bean but then removed it. But now all that stationary is created and in opening the project, CW asks me if it should open up the Processor Expert.

Couldn't find this in Help.

Hello

  Not sure I understand the problem here.

  Do you mean you want to stop using Processor Expert in your project?

  This can be done in the following way:

     - Start IDE

     - Open your project

     - Select "ProcessorExpert" -> "Suspend ProcessorExpert from <projectName>"

  This will disconnect Processor Expert from the project.

  I hope this helps.

Not just stop using it, I'd like to remove the Processor Expert stationary. Apparently, it's still present even if it's not used such that CW asks me when I start the project if I want to enable PE.

I have to tell it no each time.

Sorry I do not understand the question here.

Do you mean you want to prevent CodeWarrior from opening the last project it has opened?

What is exactly the problem can you be more explicit and explain what you are doing and what you are seeing on the screen.

What I think you've done is (correct me if I'm wrong):

1) You built a project and had the wizard add Processor Expert (PE).

2) You tried PE and didn't like it.

3) You yanked what you thought were some of the files PE uses, but every time you try to use this project, CodeWarrior nails you with a prompt to start PE. Is this correct?

PE installs its own set of start-up code and files. It's presence is pretty pervasive, as the Codewarrior prompt indicates. I'd suggest you start over with a new project, decline the wizard's offer to add PE to the project, and then move your files into the new project uses Project | Add Files...

Darth Jedi,

That's almost exactly right with the exception of when I added the PE. For me, it was actually after creating the project. I added a bean and later changed my mind.

But symptoms are still the same. Yes, CW now prompts me to open the PE bean stuff when I open the project.

Not a huge deal. I can still edit code the old fashioned way and leave the PE stuff off. But it's annoying to an **bleep**-retentive coder like myself to see all those extra files littered all over my project.

Hello

I made some additional tests locally. I think I see what you mean now.

Each time you try to open the project there is a box asking you whether you want to

open ProcessorExpert for the project or not.

Even if you check the box "Do not ask for that project again" and hit No, the dialog pops up again

next time.

I will report that as a defect.

In the mean time to prevent that from happening, the only solution I found is:

    - Close the project in codeWarrior

    - Open a window explorer

    - Browse for your project directory

    - Delete files with extension .pe, .dsk & .G_C from the directory

    - Remove directory *_Data from the project directory

    - Reopen teh project in eth IDE.

That should work.

Nope, that didn't fix it for me. The dialog still pops up. There's also a new couple of folders that I assume PE creates. One is CODE and the other DOC. They are both empty for me, but deleting them didn't help. Any other ideas?

Hello,
could you please write the CPU family and version of Processor Expert that you are using?

I'm using MC9S08QG8. ProcessorExpert version 3.73 .5 L2

[ProcessorExpert]

I'm sorry but I haven't reproduced the problem. I have:

- created a new project with PE
- selected the 'Suspend Processor Expert for ..' menu command
- Closed CodeWarrior, re-opened the project and checked the 'Don't ask again' checkbox in the PE dialog.
and the dialog haven't apperaed anymore after next opening...

I recommend you to create a new project without Processor Expert and insert the sources from your current project there. This should definitely help.

best regards

You're right, if the "don't ask again" is checked it won't. I was just curious at what was causing CW to know that the PE stuff was there, even after all those files were deleted.

No problem, that's a simple fix.
