Re: [Anjuta-list] Project Import Problems....

Hi Sébastien,

Thanks for the explanation.  So the best way for me to get those source 
files added is to add the subdirectories as I did, or should I add 
individual files?  Are there likely to be side effects from doing either 
of these work-around solutions?

Thanks,

Rob
