I like to copy, then paste my code folder and rename it with a current date because MPLAB doesn't have a version management system built in. I wanted to make a new folder every day with other non-robotics projects, but I noticed that MPLAB would write to the old files even though I opened the new MCW file.
When I made a new project with the project wizard instead (and added all my files, chose the toolsuite, etc) I would get a compiler error at every printf().
So I decided I needed an IDE that didn't try to be smarter than me with its workspace file. FIDE is the solution. Thanks
