Problem of symbol edition in a project

Hey LETS,

I also use subfolders for each design block in my designs as it makes it easy to build up a project of sub-projects, each with their own test files etc.

I agree that manually adding each file isn't great. Here is what I've tried to get around this, initially I wrote a tcl script which recursively added all vhdl files from a top directory, this worked reasonably well. I now have a qip file which lists the components I want for a given project (usually all of them), I like this approach as it is easy to customise what is included. The qip file is added the same way you would add a source file (but only once).

I never bothered to include the symbols but I'm sure they could be added in the qip file (either manually or by scripting).

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has found a simple uncluttered way to manage a project with a library of sub-components organised in separate folders.

Cheers,
