Is there a way to move files around in the file system to match TestComplete's Project Explorer

Working in a shared code base, and we initially had a pattern of creating our file system structure to mirror what we're using for our TestComplete Project structure (sub-folders for our scripts, and placing the script files actually in those subfolders, for instance).

 

Unfortunately, some of the team members did not follow this pattern (for various reasons), and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to quickly move the files around in the file system without having to remove and re-add the files to the project.

 

Anyone know a way to do this? Or is this just going to be a kind of painful operation?

  • Well, you don't need to remove and re-add.  You can right click on the item and select "Save as" and you can save it in a different location in which the link will be pointing to the new location rather than the original.  But, generally... that's the only way to do it.  There's no quick and easy way to just say "move these".
