It is possible to select an ACSIL file in a folder different from \ACS_Source in the "Analysis/Build..." dialogue.

However, even if you "open" the selected file (e.g. in a sub-directory of \ACS_Source), the compiler still searches for the *.cpp file in \ACS_Source and states that such file "is missing".

this is in v1420.

But that's the currently existing dialogue...which gives the impression that it works...

:-)

Why give users an impression (buttons "Folder" and "open") that they can select a file in any location for compilation/building, if this feature is not working?

I had a strange situation where I had my ACSIL study in a \ACS_Source and then for the final release created a sub-folder \ACS_Source\Final, copied the *.cpp file there and made some final changes to it. But when I built it, i did not see the changes applied! And whatever i changed, it still remained at the "development" version..
After several of such trials, i accidentally noticed that compiler actually still builds from the \ACS_Source...
And after testing that this indeed does not work, decided to write to you.

In the next release, we will remove the button from the Advanced Custom Study source file Open File window to change the folder.
