STM32CubeIDE 1.18.1 removes middleware folder after re-generating

[Foregit]

Hi.

I add the "x-cube-eeprom-v8-0-0" library to my project manually:

I create folder Middlewares and copy sources the  folder as expected,

I specify the paths in the project settings,

I uncheck the "Delete previously generated files when not re-generated" on the Project Manager tab in Device Configuration Tool,

but the folder is still deleted when regenerating after changing the any settings in ioc.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello @Foregit 

CubeMX strictly manages certain folders like Middlewares, Src, Inc, etc.

During regeneration, CubeMX cleans up files and folders inside these managed directories that it does not recognize as part of the generated project.

I recommend you to rename your folder and move it  outside  Middlewares.

YourProject/
  MyMiddlewares/
    x-cube-eeprom-v8-0-0/   <--  safe
