Cleaning project file dependencies in Quartus

After trying to reorganise my project so that related blocks are in separate sub-folders, Quartus (10.1 SP1) seems really clunky about fixing up dependencies. I've been using the 'add/remove files' to get it to compile, but double clicking blocks to navigate down the heirarchy or edit a Megawizard generated block sometimes still doesn't work. 

 

Does anyone have any tips on how to clean up the project?

are all the new file paths set in the project file list?

I not sure I understand what you mean. If I've added a file in a project subfolder, e.g. shared/peak_comp.bdf then that's how it's listed and the compiler can find it.

did you add it when you re-organised the directories, or before?

Before the reorganisation.

The project will not remap your file paths for you. You may need to remove them and re-add them

That's what I feared. The Quartus editor seems rather buggy but I can work around the problems. Adding the correct files manually is rather error prone :(

have you tried adding the directories as project libraries?

Thanks for that suggestion. I guess I'm resigned to trying to patch it up manually.
