To import the settings into a project do the following:

  1. Select a file that contains the settings to be imported. The file must be in the same format as generated by the project settings export wizard. The wizard quickly parses the file to determine what types of settings it contains. If the file cannot be parsed an error message is displayed.
  2. Select a project. Only open C/C++ and Remote C/C++ projects are listed.
  3. Select a build configuration
  4. Select the types of settings to be imported. Only the types of settings actually contained in the file are displayed.
  5. Click Finish

It may be necessary to perform a reindex for some of the new settings to take effect. For example if include paths were imported a reindex may be required for the indexer to pick up header files from the new paths.
