Super ContributorI do not see this behavior on my own computer, probably as you said, it is only happening on certain computers. The only suggestion I got is probably to install the latest Quartus version and hopefully, the issue does not occur.
Could you help to share your project with this issue so I can try to duplicate it? Please help to provide the steps to reproduce.
New ContributorHello:
Thanks for your reply. I have not been able to replicate this problem consistently on one project even on the same computer, so I'm not sure what to say about it. It does appear that in some cases, a subfolder is being created by the software when the project is saved to an external drive (e.g. thumb drive) but that isn't consistent either.
As to trying the latest version of Quartus Prime, an earlier issue was found when attempting to use the University program VWF with V20.1 in a posting I made in July. The -novopt switch was present in the 20.1 version and caused problems. The response at the time was as follows:
Appreaciated your efort for raising the issue to improve our service. For now you have to remove the -novopt manually in your script and we will be working on it to fix in the next version released. In the modelsim for QP 18.0 release note:
o The -novopt switch will be accepted in 10.7 with a deprecation suppressible error message.
o In 10.8 or a subsequent release, the -novopt switch will not be accepted by the tool and cause tool to exit with error message.
I note that V20.3 was announced earlier this week. Has this problem been corrected as noted above? If so, I'd be interested in trying out the later version to see if it resolves the other problem noted.
Thanks
Bob
