Have a laptop computer that I use to develop a project in Silverfrost Fortran. Am using Win11 on both the laptop and my desktop PC. When I copy the project file from my laptop to a USB drive then copy the same project to my desktop PC. It used to work on my desktop PC with Win 10. Now, after I copy to my desktop PC with Win11, I experience two problems:

-The project file no longer works on my desktop PC, says the files that I have in the project cannot be found? I would expect one of the files to be not found as it was resident on the laptop. However, the other file, which was loaded into the project on my laptop, should have been there but was not.
I would just re-create the project on my desktop PC but no longer have access to the file, see below, that was included in the project on my laptop and used to reside there as a xxxx.for file.

-If I have a project, on my laptop, that was created there and included a file in the project that was in xxxx.for, Silverfrost Fortran format, and have made several changes and saves/compiles, how do I then save this file to non-project status? If I can save as xxxx.for format, I can then copy the file to my desktop PC and re-create the project.

Additionally, when I copy, Win11 always creates a copy as path? Very confusing as under Win10, always used a regular copy!

Please advise, Sid Kraft

It is advisable to keep a project file and all the source files in a dedicated folder.
Copy the folder and all of its files and sub folders using File Explorer.

From the Settings dialog (on the Tools menu), select General and then select "Use relative path for project files". Do this and save (e.g. exit Plato) before copying.

Check the drive letter for the project files and for simplicity avoid using multiple drives.
