Delphi 2009 - res file is not recreated

Question

Hi,

I'Ve just created a small application with a toolbar, some toolbar buttons and an TPngImageList. I have saved the project and compiled it.

Now I've deleted the .res file in the project folder. When I now open the project in the IDE, delphi says "Res file could not be found. New created". But after that, I can't find the new created res file in my project folder. (In other words: it isn't there!) Why? Thanks!

Answer 1

I just created a new project, Project1.dpr, and saved it in a new, empty, directory. Then I removed Project1.res, and opened the project. Delphi 2009 said

[Window Title]
Warning

[Content]
Cannot find resource file: C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\Documents\RAD Studio\Projects\test2\Project1.res.  Recreated.

[OK]

and when I then saved the project, the Project1.res file was recreated. If I close the project without saving, no Project1.res file is created.
