Can you please add an option to suppress "Failed to open:" messages?

Hi,

Can you please add an option to suppress "Failed to open:" messages when one is searching files in a project or workspace for a string? The driver source base I work on is huge, has a very large number of engineers working on it, and as I search for something this afternoon, all useful search output is lost in a stream of about 900 "Failed to open:" messages.

I update this project regularly, but deleting files from a .vpj file is *tedious*, but still better than trying to do this from the editor itself, which asks you a couple of questions for each delete. "Do you want to delete this from source control? (preceded by a slow P4 call for a file that's already been deleted from the repository.)" I mean it's fine if you need to delete 2 files.

From Tools>Project Properties>Files Tab, click the "Refresh..." button. It will remove non existent files from your project.

Under Tools>Version Control>Setup, you might want to turn off "Prompt when files are added to project" and "Prompt when files are removed from project".

Thank you, that was enormously helpful!

So glad that works for you. Even I didn't know SlickEdit had that nice "Refresh..." feature in project properties until now

Thanks for sharing that you didn't know either - I felt foolish until you said that!

Check out this macro for automatically updating the file list in your project, not only to remove files that are no longer there, but also for auto adding any new files in your directories:
