number of projects

[Roger_d_1]

hello,

Intel XDK tells me I am working on 10 apps, which is incorrect.
Every time I upload a project (which is actually the same project, but with an update by me), Intel XDK counts that as a new app.

So I guess I am not using XDK in the correct way, by uploading a new project, when I change something?
I thought I should go to the "projects" tab and under the "project info"-section change the project path, but the location is not clickable/editable.

Or is there no way to change this, since I work on my app outside XDK? (I use XDK as a wrapper)

Are you creating a new project in XDK each time you make a change?  If you're just creating one project, then updating that project, it should only be counted as one project.

I don't think there's an easy way to change the project path within the XDK once it's created.

If I understand what you're trying to do, you should be able to just create a single project, then update the files in that location each time you make changes.  Will that work for you?

Hi Roger, 

"Every time I upload a project (which is actually the same project, but with an update by me), Intel XDK counts that as a new app."

If you import your updated project using the "Import your HTML code base" option, you will end up creating a new app every time because Intel XDK assigns your app a new project ID (found as projectGuid in your .xdk file in your project directory). 

The best way to update your app is within the IDE or open your project files from your project directory/path like Dale said and edit using an external editor. Or you can replace the files in your app's project directory. The only issue with using an external editor is that if you are using App Designer (the UI layout tool in Intel XDK ) it will make many automatic changes to your index.html file, so it is best not to edit that file externally at the same time you have App Designer open. But in your case it looks like that doesn't matter,

Thanks for the replies, that was clear.
When I have time, I will try it out. It seems as a plausible solution.
