How to clear and reset Core Data data models - xcode

I have now >45 different versions of xcdatamodel in Xcode, of which 44 of them are no longer required, as I've eseentially gone for the drop/create approach of the entire database. How can I clear these out, without Xcode kicking up a fuss?
See the linked image:

Note: this approach is waaaaayyyy simpler: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6712191/84783, but if you wanna get up to your elbows with project files, try my steps below.
I think they keep these around for current installations to do model migrations. Sadly I think you have some manual project file hacking.
Make sure you have the model you want set as the current model
Close Xcode
Right click on "Model.xcdatamodeld" in Finder
Choose Show Package Contents
Delete the models you no longer want
Right click on "MyProject.xcodeproj"
Choose Show Package Contents
Open project.pbxproj in a text editor
Search for ".xcdatamodel" and delete entries (Model.xcdatamodel and "Model X.xcdatamodel") no longer in use
Careful not to delete ".xcdatamodeld" files
Hope this helps, Rob

Remove recent items in the Xcode's CheckOut window

is there a way to clean recent items in the checkout dialog box ("source control" -> "check out...") on Xcode 7 ?
It seems that you will need to find com.apple.dt.XCode.plist located in your Library/Preferences directory.
Search for IDESourceControlRecentsFavoritesRepositoriesUserDefaultsKey and there should be a list of items under that key. Unwanted repositories can be deleted from it and it will be reflected the next time XCode is restarted.
Such a difficult task for something to trivial. But hey, at least it is possible to do this. Cheers.
That window lists both:
Projects/Workspaces that Xcode is tracking (and thus maintaining derived data for, like build products)
Repositories that Xcode is holding login credentials for
For the first one, look in the Projects window. You can clear things out of there, at the cost of losing the derived data associated with them.
For the second, look in the Accounts pane of Xcode Preferences.
Once you've deleted things from both places, they shouldn't show up in the Check Out window anymore. (If they do, I'd call that a bug... and file it with Apple.)

Keeping unused files in Xcode project

In Eclipse you can create a folder and name it, say, "unused", to keep currently unused files (incomplete code, resources for future use, etc)
which are ignored by project builder. Can I have something similar with Xcode?
If I move a file to a project folder without inserting it with Xcode, it may be OK, and I will be able to see it while opening in Finder. However, it will be more convenient to have it listed by Project Navigator.
As far as I am concerned, it's not possible. Though, you can comment all of your code in one click to momentarily disable it.
Press command + A;
Right click and select Comment Selection.

Interwoven TeamSite 6.7.2: How to regenerate all pages?

Is it possible to regenerate all pages within Interwoven TeamSite 6.7.2?
Simply selecting a folder and click on Actions -> regenerate page doesn't work. It gets the error message: "Not a generated file".
So is there a trick to regenerate through the folder hierarchy?
TeamSite will process whatever you passed as a parameter, be it file or folder. If it is not template-based, you will see that error. There is no way to recursively regenerate pages throughout a workarea natively.
I have written Perl scripts to traverse the filesystem, test each files extended attributes to see if it was template-based and regenerate the page if so. This is probably the easiest way to achieve mass regeneration.
If you must have this through the GUI, you can create a custom menu item that calls the above script.
Not sure when this question was posted - it says Jan 25 but does not reveal the year, but TeamSite 6.7 has been EOL (end of life) for a few years by the vendor HP Autonomy.
As of this writing the latest version of the software is TeamSite 7.3.2, with version 7.4 right around the corner. The reason I mention about versions is because, the paradigm to create and render pages has undergone a complete change.
Pages are no longer "generated" and deployed. SitePublisher - now part of TeamSite allows pages to be authored using WYSIWYG tools.
That said, the old paradigm of "generating" pages is still backward compatible, but if you are planning to upgrade you may get more value from the system by using SitePublisher and LiveSite.
run this command from the unix command line:
find /your/folder/startpoint -exec /path/to/iwregen {} \;
The error message: "Not a generated file" that you are getting is because you are trying to select a folder since the contents of folders can be different some can be your actual pages while some can be a .pdf file, .txt file or any other extension files.
Please try to regenerate pages using these steps:
Double click on the folder to open in which your actual pages resides
After this try to select all the pages (not manually but there is option/checkbox on the UI as "select all" or "select").
Now, after selecting all just scroll down and see all the selected things whether they are actual pages and not something else. If they are not the pages then deselect only that particular file.
Now, click on "Actions" and regenerate the pages all at once. This will definitely work.
Please vote this solution if it is useful else please add your further issues/questions will try to help you with the best of my knowledge.
Thanks!

Xcode: Tabbed workflow

In Xcode I use a task-based tabbed workflow (a separate tab for editing, UI/Modeling, building, debugging, etc.). I accomplish this using Behaviors (see the Custom section in the attached screen shot). When I create a new Project I use press ⌘+1, ⌘+2, etc. to quickly setup all of my task tabs.
My issue is that when I do this for a newly created Project all of the tabs display the source, storyboards, etc. from my most recently open Project. How often do you think this is useful or the desired behavior? I realize that one of the great things about tabs is that they remember their state and this is helpful. But as far as the source files that are initially displayed, this is a real pain. I do not want to see files from other (generally unrelated) projects.
Now what I just did as an experiment was open Project A and setup all of my tabs and ensured that each tab contained a source file from Project A. Then I quit Xcode and moved Project A a new location on the file system. When I opened Project B and created all of my tabs they were, as desired, empty.
I realize that I'm just going to receive the canonical "File a Radar" here but in the off chance that there is a workaround (NOT moving files) or a preference I could set, I figured I'd at least ask.
Thanks in advance,

Xcode 4.x adding new Project to a Workspace

One would think that adding a project to a Workspace in Xcode would be intuitive.
1) But when you add a new project it is added within the existing project - It must be a bug, or is there actually a reason.
2) How do you add a project then (ctr + right click et.)
You could use the plus (+) button on the lower left corner of Xcode IDE to add a new project to a workspace. You must have first a blank workspace, which you could use the menu (New/Workspaces with short cuts ^%N).
To morning I spend some time doing what you asked to. so here are the steps (you can skip if you already have followed some).
Create a new blank work space
Add a project to it by clicking File->Add new files to "Your workSpace" or "command+option+A"
Choose your project folder Or yourproject.xcodeproj file
Just let the indexing finish properly, and congratulations you have added a new project to your xcode work space successfully.
Note: Make sure that project which you are adding is not already opened, Xcode get lil sensitive about that and doesn't show files tree in workspace in that case.
My answer pertains to XCode 5, but should pertain to XCode 4 as well.
In typical Apple fashion, they have given you multiple ways to do the almost the same thing. Very confusing and annoying. There are three ways, and only one way pertains to the original posters question:
(1) Use File --> Add Files to ...
Problem with this, is that it will only add files to workspace if NO project has been selected.
Problem with THAT, is that once you select a project, there is no way I know of to unselect it.
(2) Use the "+" in the lower-left corner.
Problem with that, it is equivalent to using the pull down menu (#1 above)
(3) Right click in the left pane (in an empty area), and you will see "Add files to "
This is the only right way to do it, as it guarantees that the file will be added to the workspace, and not any selected project.
Try all three methods after selecting an existing project, and you will see what I mean.
Based on my previous experience with XCode, Apple will take about 10 more years to fix this sort of thing.
One would think that adding a project to a Workspace in Xcode would be
intuitive.
Of course not, this is Apple, only usable for certain experts...
1) But when you add a new project it is added within the existing project -
It must be a bug, or is there actually a reason
You did miss the drop down selection list "Add to:" in the last of three dialog pages, the place where the location of the .xcodeproj file is specified. There you can select the Workspace you are currently using. So simply use "File" "New..." "Project...", give it a name and select from templates, and NEVER intuitiveley double click on the directory where to place the project file, but be sure to adjust the selection drop down list to your currently open workspace. Of course this choice is never preselected.
