TouchGFX Project - Folder Structure Understanding

[Cococarbine]

Hello,

When I right-click - create a new .c source file in a new STM32CubeIDE TouchGFX project, the file gets created in the STM32CubeIDE/Appli/Application/User/Core directory.  However, all the project source files are under Appli/Core/Src and headers in Appli/Core/Inc.  

Is this normal and ok?  Why have the separate source file locations?

Thank you

Hello ​@Cococarbine ,

I don’t really understand the issue, or how to replicate the issue.
On my side, when I right click on any folder of my project in my tree view in STM32CubeIDE, I can indeed create a source file, and it ends up in the correct place in my project when checking the system explorer.*

Hi Osman,

No issue, I was just not sure the difference between the source files in the project’s TouchGFXProject/Appli/Core/Src folder containing main.c

versus the TouchGFXProject/STM32CubeIDE/Appli/Application/User/Core folder where all my new .c source files get created.

When you create new files from STM32CubeIDE, those are placed in the TouchGFXProject/STM32CubeIDE/ folder . You can also create files outside of the IDE, and import them afterwards to you STM32CubeIDE project by copying the file or linking to the original file, just as we do in our TBSs for example:
