Sometimes creating a new project fails to build via TouchGFX Designer.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch TouchGFX Designer
2. Open notifications via 'Detailed log' button
3. Create a new project in TouchGFX Designer (use STM32F746G-DISCO board and TextureMapper compatible sample
4. Watch the output in the notification window and the following occurs:
- make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile assets -j10
- touchgfx update_project --project-file=../EWARM/STM32F746G-DISCO.ewp --gui-group-name=Application/User/TouchGFX/gui --generated-group-name=Application/User/TouchGFX/generated && touchgfx update_project --project-file=simulator/msvs/Application.vcxproj && ruby updateMXProj.rb
- Post Generate Error <- No clues are provided in output logs
5. Open MINGW32 to try to find out why the command failed:
- cd to the project folder
- repeat the failing command ('touchgfx update_project --project-file=../EWARM/STM32F746G-DISCO.ewp' etc)
- See output:
>>> $ touchgfx update_project --project-file=../EWARM/STM32F746G-DISCO.ewp --gui-group-name=Application/User/TouchGFX/gui --generated-group-nam
e=Application/User/TouchGFX/generated && touchgfx update_project --project-file=simulator/msvs/Application.vcxproj && ruby updateMXProj.rb

See the error: 'No such file or directory - ../EWARM/STM32F746G-DISCO.ewp'
6. Check the file system and sure enough, that file doesn't exist.
7. Copying the file '<project-name>.ewp in the EWARM folder to 'STM32F746G-DISCO.ewp' fixes the problem and allows the project code to be generated and built!
It looks like there's some sort of misuse of filenames or error creating the EMWARM/ewp files when instantiating a new project from samples or conflict bewteen TouchGFX Designer and the commands used to generate code, but it oddly doesn't always fail.
I've also experienced a problem where trying to create a new UI after editing an original one, where the edited version of the original UI would'nt load again with TD displaying an error indicating that the file is corrupt.
