Hi,

I am using touchGFX4.16.

I copied the project folder for backup.

When I tried to use touchGFX in the backed up project folder, an attached image warning appeared.

1) What does it mean?

2) What should I do to get rid of the warning?

I confirm I have the same message when I put a space in the path. So remove the space from your path.

Hello,

I think you have to remove spaces from your path.

"sono-RC-1 - 220225" contains spaces.

"1) What does it mean?"

It means exactly what it says: there are space characters - aka "blanks" or whitespace - within that path string.

"2) What should I do to get rid of the warning?"

Don't have spaces in you file or folder names!

It's also best to avoid other "special" characters.

It's a common thing; eg,

Spaces in path can be cured by converting the path to equivalent "short path" - if the underlying Windows filesystem supports it. Try this to check.

If the short path can be created, start the Eclipse or other IDE from a small .bat file (after the project path is sanitized).
